About Terrata Homes

Terrata Homes is a residential builder with a focused presence in the Austin metro's outer growth communities. Rather than operating on the scale of the region's largest production builders, Terrata builds in select neighborhoods across Manor, Bastrop, Dripping Springs, and San Marcos, bringing a more targeted approach to each area they enter. Their 170 recorded MLS transactions in the Austin market and 91 closed sales in our data reflect a steady, consistent history in this region.

All of Terrata's local inventory is residential single-family homes. Their floor plans cover a practical range, from 2-bedroom homes at 1,148 square feet to 5-bedroom homes reaching 3,112 square feet, with bedroom counts from 2 to 5 and bathrooms from 2 to 4. This variety lets Terrata serve a wide range of buyers without venturing into high-density or commercial development.

Where Terrata Homes Builds

Terrata's heaviest concentration of past and present activity is in Manor, where they have built in ShadowGlen and Whisper Valley. ShadowGlen has the most Terrata completions of any single community, with 43 homes built there total. Whisper Valley currently has the most active listings, with 9 homes on the market right now, making it the best place to look if you want a new Terrata home in Manor.

In Bastrop, Terrata has been active in Colony, where 20 homes have been completed and 6 are currently active. The adjacent Colony MUD section adds 2 more active listings, giving Bastrop buyers a handful of options across that corridor.

Terrata has also built in Dripping Springs at Esperanza, one of the Hill Country's more established growth communities, with 28 total Terrata homes completed there and 1 currently active. Their San Marcos footprint includes Blanco Vista and several nearby subdivisions, accounting for 42 total MLS transactions in that city. A smaller number of homes have also been completed near Spicewood.

Price Range and Home Styles

Active Terrata listings currently run from the low-to-mid $300s up to just over $1 million, with a historical median sale price of $524,900 across 91 closed transactions. Most current inventory sits in the $330,000 to $540,000 range, which covers the core of what Terrata builds in this market.

Here is how the current inventory breaks down by price tier:

• Low-to-mid $300s: Compact 2-3 bedroom homes in Whisper Valley, from 1,148 to 1,519 square feet. These are among the more accessible new construction options in the Manor area right now.
• High $300s to mid-$400s: 3-4 bedroom homes from approximately 1,400 to 2,000 square feet, found in both Whisper Valley and Colony in Bastrop.
• High $400s to mid-$500s: Larger 4-5 bedroom plans from 2,370 to 3,112 square feet, located primarily in Colony and ShadowGlen, representing the most interior space in the current Terrata lineup.

What to Expect from a Terrata Home

Terrata builds across multiple communities simultaneously rather than concentrating all production in one large master-planned development. This means their inventory in any given neighborhood is measured rather than abundant. Buyers who have a specific community in mind should check current availability before assuming a particular floor plan or price point is on the market there, since selection varies by location and changes as homes sell.

In communities like Whisper Valley, Terrata has built homes that meet the community's sustainability-oriented standards, a requirement built into that master plan. In Bastrop's Colony, they offer some of their largest floor plans, including homes over 3,000 square feet at prices well below what comparable square footage costs closer to central Austin. That gap between suburban and urban pricing is a consistent theme across the corridors where Terrata operates.

Buyers working directly with a Terrata sales representative on site will get information about that builder's current inventory and preferred financing options. What that process does not include is independent representation or negotiation on the buyer's behalf. Working with a buyer's agent gives you someone focused on your interests throughout the transaction, including help evaluating whether pricing, incentives, and contract terms are working in your favor. The builder's sales team works for the builder. Your agent works for you.
