Country-living custom builds on 5–20 acre lots. A favorite for clients who want a real working ranch with a luxury house on it.
Springtown is for families who want a real ranch with a real house on it.
Springtown sits twenty minutes north of Weatherford on SH 199, in northern Parker County and another world away from suburban Texas. Working agriculture, open prairie, and lots big enough to actually call a ranch. Most of our Springtown work is for clients who wanted real acreage and a meaningful agricultural component to the property — cattle, horses, hay, or simply room enough that the next house is not in sight. Springtown ISD is the draw for the families with kids; the small-town downtown and the proximity to Eagle Mountain Lake are the draw for everyone else.

Where we build in the Springtown area
We work across the country between Springtown, Reno, Azle, and the Wise County line — the acreage tracts off FM 730, the rolling lots around Briar and Pelican Bay, and the working ranchland north toward Boyd. Permitting runs through the Parker County office in Weatherford, with septic through Parker County Public Health.
What we build in Springtown
A typical Springtown project for us is a 4,000–7,500 square foot custom home on acreage, with a working barn or shop program built into the master plan from day one. Many of these projects include real basements (the soil is the same Parker County clay we have built on for thirty years, and we know how to make a basement work in it), wine cellars, and storm shelters tied directly into the main house.
Build-on-your-lot
Most Springtown clients arrive with land already in hand, often family land. A free site walk is the most useful first step: drainage, sun line, view corridors, where the house should sit relative to the agricultural program, and where the long drives in and out should run.
Built for Springtown families
Four reasons North Texas families have hired Open Prairie over the high-volume builders working the same zip codes for nearly thirty years.
Local Since 1995
We have been building in this region since before most of the new subdivisions had names. Every relationship Open Prairie needs to get your job done - engineers, inspectors, trades - already exists and is two decades deep.
Owner on Every Job
Dan Schlaak walks every job site weekly and runs every weekly client meeting himself. You will not be passed off to a project manager who has never met you.
Acreage Builds Done Right
Septic, well, road, pad, tree management, and dust control - things production builders treat as add-ons. We treat them as the job.
Two-Decade Warranty Track Record
Some of our earliest homes are now in their second owner. The warranty we wrote for the first owner still applies, and we still answer the phone. Ask anyone in town.

Building a Custom Home in Springtown, TX
The questions Springtown, TX families ask us most often before starting a custom home in this market.
Current Open Prairie projects in Springtown, TX typically run $1.2M to $3.8M for the home itself, on lots ranging from 1 to 20 acres. Per-square-foot costs land between $340 and $550 depending on finish level and whether the home includes a basement. Land is separate.
Plan on 12–14 months from groundbreaking, plus 3–5 months of design and Parker County permitting beforehand. Most of our homes deliver within two weeks of the original target date because we build a small number at once and the schedule actually gets attention.
In most cases, yes - and we are one of the only builders in the region who do them correctly. Soil varies block to block, which is why most builders refuse. We work with engineers we have used here for two decades.
On most acreage outside the city limits, yes. The cost varies dramatically based on depth-to-water and percolation rates. We coordinate the soil testing, the well drilling contractor, the septic engineer, and the inspection sign-offs - all included in our scope.
Yes. Most of the acreage subdivisions here have architectural review committees with their own rules about exterior materials, roof pitch, fence types, and outbuildings. We handle the submittal and any revision cycles as part of the design phase.
Modern Texas farmhouse remains the most-requested style - limestone or brick base, board-and-batten or stone gables, standing-seam metal accents, and big covered outdoor living. Traditional ranch, Hill Country contemporary, and transitional plans are also common. We do not have a house style; we build yours.
