The Architect's View
The Trails of Horseshoe Bay
Designed by homeowner and retired architect Tim Dykes, this custom residence at The Trails of Horseshoe Bay earned 2nd Place in the Owner's Suite category at the 2026 HCBA Parade of Homes. Expansive glass, Hill Country stone, and a dedicated music room give the home its distinctive character — built by Grubbs Construction.
