Premier Custom Builders
Ranch at Latitude 31 features Riata Builders as its premier custom home builder. Riata brings generations of experience, exceptional craftsmanship, and a true custom home approach to every project.
When you build in Ranch at Latitude 31, you can build with Riata Builders (riatabuilders.com). A fourth-generation Central Texas builder, Riata has earned its reputation as the premier custom home builder in the region through uncompromising quality, innovative design, and a client-first approach that puts your vision at the center of every decision.
Every Riata home is a true custom build, not a modified production plan. You work with Riata's design team to create a home that fits your lifestyle, your lot, and your vision. From architectural style to room layout to finish selections, every decision is yours.
With four generations of building experience, Riata brings time-tested techniques combined with modern innovations. Their craftsmanship is evident in every detail: custom cabinetry, premium trim work, solid core doors, and meticulous attention to fit and finish.
Riata uses spray foam insulation as a standard feature in every home. This provides superior energy efficiency, better indoor air quality, reduced noise transmission, and lower utility bills compared to traditional fiberglass insulation.
Custom cabinetry is a hallmark of every Riata home. From the kitchen to the bathrooms to the laundry room, you choose the wood, finish, hardware, and configuration. Riata's cabinet shop produces pieces that rival fine furniture in quality and design.
At Riata, premium finishes are not upgrades. Quartz or granite countertops, hardwood floors, tile showers, stainless steel appliances, and designer fixtures are all included in the base price. What other builders call "upgrades," Riata calls "standard."
Riata's design process puts you in control. From initial consultation through final walkthrough, you work directly with a dedicated project manager and design team. Monthly progress meetings, detailed budgets, and a transparent build process keep you informed and confident.
Building a custom home at Ranch at Latitude 31 is an exciting journey. Here is what to expect:
You meet with your chosen builder to discuss vision, budget, timeline, and lot. They show you past work and help you define what you want.
With Lisa Copeland's guidance, you select the perfect homesite. The builder studies the lot's orientation, views, and topography to design a home that maximizes every aspect of the property.
The design team creates a custom floor plan tailored to your lot and lifestyle. You select finishes, fixtures, cabinetry, flooring, and every detail that makes the home yours.
The builder breaks ground and builds your home with regular progress updates, meetings, and a transparent schedule. Typical build time is 10-14 months depending on complexity.
Custom homes start at approximately $750,000 for a 2,000-2,800 sq ft home. Homes from 2,800-3,500 sq ft range from $850,000 to $1.1 million, and estate homes over 3,500 sq ft range from $1.2 million to $2 million+.
Pricing varies based on lot cost, home size, finishes, and site conditions. Contact Lisa for current pricing and available plans.
Homesites
The homesites at Ranch at Latitude 31 are what set this community apart. With lots ranging from 0.51 to 3.11 acres, you get space, privacy, and the freedom to build the home you have always wanted. View lots with panoramic Hill Country vistas, cul-de-sac lots with added privacy, and interior lots with mature trees are all available. For the full inventory of available homesites, visit the official homesites page.
Panoramic Hill Country views are the crown jewels of Ranch at Latitude 31. These homesites offer sweeping vistas of rolling Texas hills, especially beautiful at sunrise and sunset. View lots are among the most sought-after and are priced accordingly.
Cul-de-sac lots offer added privacy, reduced traffic, and extra yard space. Ideal for families with children or anyone who values a quiet, tucked-away setting.
Interior homesites with mature oak and cedar trees offer natural shade, privacy, and an established feel. Excellent value for buyers who want a natural, undisturbed setting.
For buyers who want maximum space, estate-sized lots of 2 to 3+ acres are available. Perfect for hobbyists, horse enthusiasts, or anyone who wants room for gardens, guest houses, workshops, or simply wide-open space.
Some lots come with utilities stubbed, driveway graded, and site prep completed. These "custom ready" lots let you start building faster with less upfront site work.
Lots are priced based on size, location, and views. Prices typically range from the high $100,000s to the $300,000s+ for premier view lots. Lisa knows every lot, every view, and every opportunity.
Choosing the right homesite is one of the most important decisions you will make. Consider orientation (south-facing homes get the best natural light), topography (building on a slope adds cost), tree cover (which trees stay and which go?), utility access, and HOA covenants that affect what and where you can build. Lisa Copeland has walked every lot at Ranch at Latitude 31 and can guide you to the perfect site for your needs.
Utilities: All lots have access to municipal water, electricity, and natural gas. Septic systems are required on larger lots. High-speed internet is available through Spectrum.

Custom Builds
Building a custom home at Ranch at Latitude 31 is the ultimate expression of your personal style and vision. With Riata Builders as your builder and Lisa Copeland guiding your lot selection and negotiation, you have a team that ensures your custom home is everything you dreamed it would be.
The custom home process at Ranch at Latitude 31 is straightforward but requires expert guidance. Here is how it works:
Work with Lisa to tour available homesites and select the perfect lot for your custom home based on size, views, orientation, and budget.
Meet with Riata Builders to discuss your vision, budget, and timeline. Review plans and start the design process.
Secure construction financing, sign the building contract, and finalize your lot purchase. Lisa negotiates every term in your favor.
Your builder constructs your home with regular updates. Lisa stays involved throughout to ensure a smooth process and successful closing.
Building a custom home typically takes 10 to 14 months from groundbreaking to move-in. The timeline depends on home size, complexity, permitting, and weather. Your builder provides a detailed construction schedule and keeps you informed at every stage.
Key milestones: Site prep (2-4 weeks), foundation (2-3 weeks), framing (4-6 weeks), rough-in (4-6 weeks), drywall & trim (4-6 weeks), finishes (6-10 weeks), final walkthrough and closing.
Custom home construction financing is different from a standard mortgage. You typically need a construction-to-permanent loan that converts to a traditional mortgage when the home is complete. A down payment of 20-30% is typical.
Lisa can connect you with lenders who specialize in custom home construction loans in Texas and understand the building process at Ranch at Latitude 31. She guides every step to protect your interests.
Spec Homes
A spec home (speculative home) is a newly built home that is move-in ready. Unlike a custom build where you wait 10-14 months, a spec home is already finished or nearing completion. Riata Builders builds spec homes on premium Ranch at Latitude 31 lots, and they sell fast.
The biggest advantage of a spec home is time. While a custom build takes 10-14 months, a spec home can be yours in 30-60 days. If you need to move quickly or do not want to wait through a year-long construction process, a spec home is the ideal solution.
With a spec home, the price is set. You see exactly what you are getting for exactly what you pay. There are no change orders, no upgrade decisions, no cost overruns. The home is priced to sell and represents excellent value.
Spec homes at Ranch at Latitude 31 are built to the same exacting standards as custom builds: spray foam insulation, custom cabinetry, premium finishes, energy-efficient appliances, and designer touches throughout.
Spec homes at Ranch at Latitude 31 are in high demand. As the #1 Latitude 31 agent, Lisa Copeland has inside access to spec homes before they hit the public market. Get on her radar for first look at new spec inventory.
