Miralomas, Texas

Miralomas is a 900-acre master-planned community developed by SouthStar Communities along Highway 46, approximately 5 miles west of I-10 in Boerne, Texas. What distinguishes it from other Hill Country developments is the ratio of preserved land to homesites — over half of the community's acreage remains untouched as nature sanctuaries, hiking trails, and open space. Homes range from approximately $550,000 to $800,000, built by a curated roster of builders including Sitterle Homes, David Weekley Homes, and Perry Homes.

Character and Vibe

Miralomas was designed around the Hill Country landscape rather than cleared to accommodate it. The community's master plan preserves ridgelines, mature oak groves, and natural drainages, with homes positioned to take advantage of views and terrain. The gated entrance, community center, and resort-style pool establish a sense of arrival that many Boerne-area communities lack. Subdivisions — Monarca, The Summit at Miralomas, and Miralomas Garden Homes — offer different price points and lot configurations within the same master plan.

Typical Price Ranges

• Median home price: ~$600,000–$700,000 (2025)
• Monarca section: $550,000–$750,000 (2,400–3,300 sq ft)
• Sitterle Homes: $798,000+ (2,755–3,520 sq ft on larger homesites)
• The Summit at Miralomas: New phase with 45-foot homesites and Hill Country views — pricing TBA
• Custom homes: $800,000+ (3,500+ sq ft on premium view lots)

Lot Sizes

Average lot size is approximately 0.33 acres (roughly 14,000 sq ft). The community includes a range of lot types — standard homesites, view lots, and ridgeline homesites with elevated Hill Country vistas. For California buyers accustomed to 5,000–7,000 sq ft lots, these parcels offer substantially more outdoor space.

School District

Boerne ISD — A-rated from the Texas Education Agency for six consecutive years. Students in Miralomas attend Fabra Elementary and other Boerne ISD campuses. The district's 98.3% graduation rate and consistent TEA ratings make it one of the strongest school systems in the San Antonio metro.

Community Amenities

• Gated access — controlled-entry community
• Community center and pool — resort-style swimming and gathering spaces
• Fitness center — fully equipped on-site gym
• 200+ acres of hiking and biking trails — winding through preserved Hill Country terrain
• Nature sanctuaries — protected open space within the community
• Park and playground — family-oriented recreation

Location and Commute

Miralomas sits along Highway 46 at 440 State Hwy 46 W, approximately 4.5 miles from the I-10 interchange. The drive to downtown San Antonio is typically 35 to 45 minutes. Downtown Boerne's shops and restaurants are roughly 10 minutes east. The community's position on Hwy 46 also provides direct access to Bandera, Pipe Creek, and the western Hill Country.

HOA and Fees

Mandatory HOA at $800 per year ($200 quarterly, approximately $67 per month). The HOA covers gated access, community center maintenance, pool, fitness center, trails, and common area landscaping. Association transfer fee is $245. The current tax rate is $2.62 per $100 valuation. Review all CC&Rs and financial statements during your option period.

What California Buyers Should Know

• New construction means modern floor plans. Open-concept layouts, energy-efficient systems, and contemporary finishes — not the deferred maintenance that comes with older resale homes.
• Multiple builders mean price competition. Sitterle, David Weekley, and Perry Homes all build within Miralomas, creating options across a wide price spectrum.
• Preserved land is a long-term asset. Over half the community's 900 acres are protected as open space, which limits density and preserves views — a factor that supports property values over time.
• High-speed internet is available. Fiber service reaches the community, making it viable for remote workers.

Community Characteristics

Buyers who want new construction in a gated community with genuine Hill Country character. Families who value Boerne ISD schools and want a community with resort-style amenities. Remote workers who need reliable internet and a home office-friendly floor plan. Buyers who want to be near Boerne but prefer a planned community over an older established neighborhood.

Considerations for Different Buyer Profiles

Buyers who want a walkable downtown within the community itself — Miralomas is residential, and you will drive to Boerne for shops and restaurants. Anyone looking for large acreage (1+ acres) at an entry-level price. Buyers who prefer established mature neighborhoods with older trees and custom character over new construction.
