I grew up in the Texas Hill Country, and even after years in real estate, I still get excited when a new community comes along that feels like it belongs here—wide-open views, room to breathe, and a lifestyle that’s more “slow coffee on the porch” than “rush hour.”
That’s exactly why Tobiano Hills is on my radar.
If you’ve been looking for a Hill Country home that gives you land, privacy, and a little resort-style living—without feeling isolated—keep reading.
Where is Tobiano Hills?
Tobiano Hills is near Fredericksburg, one of my favorite places in Texas. It has that perfect blend of small-town charm and “there’s always something fun to do” energy—great restaurants, art, shopping, wineries, and the kind of scenery that makes you exhale the second you arrive.
The best part is you can be close to everything Fredericksburg offers, but still come home to peace, views, and space.
What’s being built: space, privacy, and beautiful home options
One of the biggest reasons buyers are watching Tobiano Hills is simple: the homesites are approximately 3–4 acres. That’s a sweet spot in the Hill Country—enough land to feel truly private and expansive, but not so much that you feel like you need a ranch crew to manage it.
The plan is for a limited number of homes (not a huge sprawling neighborhood), which usually creates a more connected, boutique feel.
Home plans are expected to range from roughly 2,200 to 4,300 square feet, with a mix of layouts depending on how you live—whether you want something “easy and elegant” for weekends, or a larger estate-style home for hosting family and friends.
What I’m seeing in the overall vision:
-
Indoor/outdoor living that actually works (not just “a door to a tiny patio”)
-
Entertaining-friendly kitchens
-
Covered outdoor spaces designed for Hill Country sunsets
-
The kind of flexibility buyers want today (home office, guest suites, gathering spaces)
And yes—this is the kind of community where I’d expect a lot of buyers to say, “We’ll start as a second home…” and then slowly realize they want to be here more often than not.
Amenities: Hill Country, but make it effortless
Tobiano Hills is leaning into a lifestyle that feels like you’re on vacation—while still being grounded in the Fredericksburg/Hill Country experience.
Planned amenities include:
-
A wellness-focused space (think gym + spa vibes, with sauna and cold plunge energy)
-
A resort-style pool built for sunset hours
-
Racquet sports (pickleball, tennis, and padel)
-
Walking/running trails
-
A vineyard element (because Fredericksburg)
-
A clubhouse designed for connection—wine tasting, events, pop-up dining experiences, and more
In other words: you can be as social (or as private) as you want. That’s the sweet spot.
Timeline + what’s coming next
Here’s what I’m hearing from the development side:
They’re targeting going vertical in the Spring, and construction time is estimated around 10–12 months once a home is underway. They’re also working on pulling together additional deliverables soon—things like pricing, the plat with the plans, and clearer details on the reservation process.
This is the phase where early interest matters, because once reservation details and pricing are fully released, momentum tends to build quickly.
Who Tobiano Hills might be perfect for
If any of these sound like you, this community is worth a closer look:
-
You want to be close to Fredericksburg, but not right on top of town
-
You want acreage for privacy, views, and outdoor living
-
You love the idea of Hill Country living without the “constant upkeep” feeling
-
You want amenities—especially racquet sports and wellness—without a massive neighborhood vibe
-
You’re thinking second home now, but want something that could work as a primary residence later
-
You want a home designed for hosting (holidays, friends, weekends, “come stay awhile”)
My take (as someone who grew up here)
The Hill Country has a way of pulling people in—because it’s not just a place, it’s a pace. Tobiano Hills feels aligned with that. It’s not trying to be something flashy or out of place. It’s giving buyers what they actually want: land, views, thoughtful homes, and a lifestyle that’s easy to step into.
And if you’ve been watching Fredericksburg grow, you already know inventory that combines acreage + new construction + amenities can be hard to find.
Want me to keep you posted?
If you’re even maybe interested, the smartest move is to stay ahead of the wave—especially before pricing and reservation steps are widely circulated.

-
Share updates as new pricing/plat info is released
-
Walk you through which home plan styles tend to fit your lifestyle (primary vs second home)
-
Coordinate a site visit if you want to see it in person
-
Help you understand the reservation process once it’s published
Just reach out and tell me what you’re looking for—weekend escape, full-time Hill Country living, or something in between—and I’ll point you toward the best next step.
