Pools designed for George's Ranch's Hill Country lots.
George's Ranch is a gated estate community spanning 1,140 acres of historic Hill Country ranchland, less than four miles from downtown Boerne. Homes here run from the $900s to $2M+ on one-acre-plus homesites, with builders like Monticello, Perry, and Toll Brothers, or your own builder working within the community's Hill Country architectural guidelines.
Every George's Ranch pool we build is engineered to its exact acreage lot, submitted through the community's design review the right way the first time, and finished in durable PebbleTec — a backyard retreat that matches the estate quality around it.
Built by two brothers and career firefighters, J. Oliver Pools brings the same accountability to every George's Ranch project. Most custom gunite pools here run between $90,000 and $180,000, reflecting the scale of the estates around them.
A full acre or more gives George's Ranch homeowners real design freedom — room for a resort-scale pool, a separate spa, and outdoor living that doesn't compete with native preserve areas or long driveways.
Life on Boerne's newest gated estate ranch.
George's Ranch sits on a historic 1,140-acre Hill Country ranch, named for Texas Ranger and pioneer George Wilkins Kendall, less than four miles from Boerne's Main Street. Behind an architecturally striking gated entry with a guardhouse, the community pairs native flora, towering oaks, and roaming wildlife with refined estate living.
Boerne ISD zones George's Ranch to Cibolo Creek Elementary, Voss Middle, and Champion High School. The community comprises two neighborhoods — The Homestead, with homes from $800,000 to $2M+, and Adeline, offering acreage homesites for a fully custom build.
One-acre-plus lots change what a pool design can be — instead of a modest footprint centered in a tight yard, we design the pool, a separate spa, and an outdoor kitchen as one composed plan that respects the ranch's native preserve areas and rolling terrain.
George's Ranch allows homeowners to bring their own builder, subject to the community's Hill Country-inspired architectural guidelines. We coordinate our pool design and submittal alongside your home builder's plans so both move through review together rather than in conflict.
George's Ranch's lots sit on the thin, rocky soil typical of the Edwards Plateau. We run a geotechnical soil study on every project before design begins, engineering the gunite shell for the limestone and clay actually under your yard.
A well-built custom pool suits George's Ranch's luxury positioning well — buyers here expect a finished, estate-quality backyard, and a properly permitted, design-approved gunite pool supports that value at resale.
