Todd and his team at Todd Glowka Builder, Inc., are known for building a plethora of different architectural styles, such as Hill Country, modern, transitional and Mediterranean. “We don’t want to be known for just one genre — we like to mix it up, but my favorite style to build is that heavy Texas Hill Country with reclaimed materials or transitional,” he shared. The peace and serenity of Cordillera Ranch inspired this light-filled home with large windows that elegantly frames the landscape.

“Cordillera Ranch is a very unique subdivision. I haven’t seen another like it, which is why there’s so much demand. The way they maintain the community and level of houses going in is mind blowing!”

Located within the confines of a 400-acre, high-fenced game ranch stocked with exotic species of African antelope, the home was designed to be a Texas Hill Country reclaimed resort-style home. Large family gathering rooms were created and accented with interior walls of stone and a massive see-through fireplace that separates the trophy room from the family/dining area and kitchen.

The finish on the house makes use of timbers reclaimed from 100-year-old barns. A standing-seam metal roof complements the board and batten exterior siding application. Dry stacked stones field blended in custom mixes highlight the bronze wood windows.
