About Mercury Custom Homes

Mercury Custom Homes is a boutique custom builder operating in the greater Austin metro area. Unlike large production builders who develop entire master-planned communities with standardized floor plans, Mercury takes a more hands-on approach, crafting homes that reflect the character of the neighborhood and the preferences of each buyer. Their portfolio in the Austin MLS spans 10 homes across Driftwood and Austin, and while their footprint is smaller than major production builders, that scale typically means more direct involvement and more architectural variety from one home to the next.

Where Mercury Custom Homes Builds

Mercury has built primarily in two markets. In Driftwood, a community southwest of Austin in Hays County, 7 of their 10 MLS homes are concentrated in the Rim Rock community and its various phases, including Rim Rock Ph Two Sec Three and Rim Rock Ph One Sec Four. Rim Rock is a Hill Country neighborhood offering spacious lots and natural surroundings, a draw for buyers who want some distance from the urban core without straying too far from the Austin metro.

In Austin, Mercury has built across several neighborhoods. Their work includes homes in Cardinal Hills, a western Austin neighborhood near the Lake Travis corridor. They have also built in Bouldin North Ext and, most recently, in Estates of Flintrock, an upscale community in the 78738 zip code. Their current active listing, 308 Lodestone Lane, sits within Estates of Flintrock and represents Mercury's most recent home on the market.

Price Range and Home Styles

Mercury Custom Homes covers a meaningful price range depending on location and scope of build. Their historical sales in Driftwood's Rim Rock community closed between approximately $450,000 and $625,000 (transactions completed from 2015 to 2020), with homes spanning roughly 2,500 to 4,200 square feet. Those Rim Rock homes typically featured 3 to 5 bedrooms and 2 to 5 bathrooms, offering generous living space at price points that reflected Driftwood's relative affordability during that period.

Their current Austin listing in Estates of Flintrock is positioned at $1,200,000, reflecting both the neighborhood's premium standing and the scale of the home. At 4,417 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, it is the largest Mercury build on record in the MLS. The historical Rim Rock sales represent completed transactions from several years ago, so any new Mercury project today would be priced according to current market conditions.

What to Expect from Mercury Custom Homes

Because Mercury operates as a custom builder rather than a large production builder, buyers won't find a dozen identical floor plans across their homes. Looking at the MLS history, the homes vary considerably in size and configuration, from a 2,518-square-foot 3-bedroom in Rim Rock to the current 4,417-square-foot build in Estates of Flintrock. That variety points to a builder that adapts to different lots, locations, and buyer needs rather than replicating a fixed design from project to project.

Their Driftwood builds in Rim Rock reflect the Hill Country style common to that area, with lot sizes and neighborhood density that prioritize space and separation between homes. The Estates of Flintrock home, by contrast, reflects the higher-end Austin custom market, with a larger footprint and an elevated bath count. Buyers considering a Mercury home, whether an active listing or a future custom project, will benefit from working with a local agent who knows these neighborhoods well. The team at Neuhaus Realty Group is familiar with all the areas where Mercury has built and can help you evaluate any listing with the local context it deserves.
