Custom Homes in the Legends on Lake LBJ - Goliath Luxury Homes

When it comes to luxury living in the Texas Hill Country, few communities rival The Legends on Lake LBJ. This gated enclave in Kingsland, Texas, is where waterfront serenity meets architectural excellence — a place designed for those who demand both elegance and permanence.

At Goliath Luxury Homes, we don’t just build homes in The Legends. We help shape the architectural character of the community itself. As one of the premier builders on Lake LBJ, our team has spent years mastering the nuances of the Legends’ design standards, permitting process, and environmental considerations — ensuring each residence we build enhances the beauty and integrity of the neighborhood.

If you’re ready to build your custom home in The Legends on Lake LBJ, this guide will walk you through every step — from choosing your homesite to breaking ground with confidence.


1. Understanding The Legends: A Vision for Enduring Beauty

The Legends on Lake LBJ is a master-planned waterfront and golf community governed by the Legends Property Owners Association (POA). The association maintains a set of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CCRs) that outline every detail of construction, from architectural style to landscaping. These standards protect the integrity and long-term value of the communitymanagement_certificate_ver_10.

Every new home must be reviewed by the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) before construction begins — a process Goliath Luxury Homes has refined through dozens of successful approvals. Our team manages all submissions, revisions, and correspondence with the ACC, streamlining the process for our clients and ensuring full compliance with community expectations.


2. Selecting the Perfect Homesite

Every lot within The Legends tells a story — whether it’s a lakefront parcel with panoramic water views or a golf course lot framed by rolling fairways. Each site comes with unique architectural opportunities and topographical challenges.

Goliath Luxury Homes provides in-depth lot analysis before design begins — evaluating slope, utility access, setback lines, and view corridors based on the recorded plats and amendments filed with Burnet County between 1999 and 2020management_certificate_ver_10.

Our architectural and construction teams collaborate early to position your home for optimal sunlight, privacy, and lake views — ensuring your investment is not only beautiful but also strategically designed for long-term value.


3. Designing with Precision and Purpose

At The Legends, every residence must reflect a sense of permanence and craftsmanship. The CCRs prohibit prefabricated, modular, or mobile homes, emphasizing custom-built architecture that complements the surrounding landscape.

Our design philosophy at Goliath Luxury Homes is rooted in timeless architecture, natural materials, and balanced proportions. We work with award-winning architects and interior designers to create homes that harmonize with The Legends’ established aesthetic while delivering a distinctly personal expression of luxury.

From initial concept through final renderings, our team manages all submissions to the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) — ensuring your home receives prompt approval and adheres to every design standard outlined in the community’s deed restrictions.


4. Living by The Legends’ Standards

The Legends is designed for true residential living — not transient rentals or speculative development. A 2015 amendment to the deed restrictions prohibits any short-term rentals under 120 days, preserving the peace, privacy, and exclusivity that homeowners value mostdeedrestrictionamendment10315re….

Additional community standards include:

  • Architectural unity: Detached garages, guest houses, and exterior structures must match the primary residence in material and style.
  • Storage and visibility: Boats, RVs, and trailers must be enclosed and screened from public view.
  • Landscaping excellence: Natural stone, native plantings, and environmentally responsible irrigation are expected throughout the community.
  • Quiet enjoyment: Commercial use and excessive noise are strictly limited to maintain neighborhood harmony.

These are not obstacles — they’re the foundation of what makes The Legends one of the most prestigious residential communities in Central Texas. And they’re the same standards that guide every project we build.


5. HOA Oversight and Transfer Details

The Legends Property Owners Association oversees maintenance of shared amenities and enforces all deed restrictions. The association currently charges $125 per resale certificate and $125 per transfer at closing, as noted in the most recent management certificatemanagement_certificate_ver_10.
