Cordillera Ranch Boerne: Luxury Hill Country Living with World-Class Amenities in 2026
By Christopher Beal | Veteran Real Estate San Antonio: The Beal Group | Published March 19, 2026 | Updated October 21, 2026

Short answer: Cordillera Ranch is a 9,100-acre Hill Country community with Boerne (78006) addresses in Kendall County, built around a Jack Nicklaus golf course and seven member clubs. In SABOR MLS, 36 homes there closed between October 21, 2025 and October 20, 2026 at a median price of $1,644,000 (range $845,000 to $4,900,000), and 33 were listed for sale on October 21, 2026 at a median asking price of $2,490,000. A veteran with full VA entitlement has no VA loan limit at this price point, but the lender still decides how much it will lend and the appraisal must support the price.

Updated October 21, 2026: replaced the VA "conforming loan limit" and "VA jumbo" wording with the VA.gov full-entitlement rule; corrected the list of seven clubs to the developer's own list; replaced the Redfin median, the unsourced price table and the July market figures with a fresh SABOR MLS pull; corrected the comparison with The Dominion (it has its own Dominion Country Club course) and Anaqua Springs Ranch (Bexar County, far northwest San Antonio); removed sub-neighborhood names, distances, drive times, build costs and utility details I could not confirm; and removed a closing-cost program reference.

What Makes Cordillera Ranch Different from Other Luxury Communities?

Two things set it apart: scale and the club system. The developer describes the community as 9,100 acres, and one membership gives unlimited access to seven clubs, including a golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus and a River Club on the Guadalupe River (Cordillera Ranch, checked October 21, 2026). Most luxury neighborhoods around San Antonio are measured in hundreds of acres and quarter-acre to one-acre lots; in the past year of Cordillera Ranch sales, lots ran from about a quarter acre (0.23 acres) to 13.85 acres.

How Much Do Homes Cost in Cordillera Ranch in 2026?

Plan around closed sales, not asking prices. The 36 residential sales that closed in the last 12 months had a median of $1,644,000; 7 of them closed under $1,000,000 and the highest closed at $4,900,000. The 33 homes on the market today ask a median of $2,490,000, about $846,000 above the closed median. At the past year's pace of 3 closings a month, that is roughly 11 months of inventory.

Filter: subdivision name containing "Cordillera", property type residential (RE), status sold with close dates October 21, 2025 to October 20, 2026 (complete result, 36 records, all Kendall County), plus status active on the pull date (33 records). Days on market as reported in MLS.

What Are the Seven Clubs of Cordillera Ranch?

The developer lists seven clubs available through one membership:

Golf Club, with the Jack Nicklaus-designed course
Tennis & Swim Club
Spa & Athletic Club
Social Club
Equestrian Club
Rod & Gun Club
River Club, on the Guadalupe River

Membership terms, dues and whether a membership transfers with a particular home are set by the club, not by the listing. Ask for the current club documents before you write an offer, because they change your true monthly cost.

How Does Cordillera Ranch Compare to The Dominion and Anaqua Springs Ranch?

Source: SABOR MLS via the LERA RESO API, pulled October 21, 2026, residential (RE) sold October 21, 2025 to October 20, 2026. The Dominion = subdivision names containing "Dominion" in ZIP 78257 (70 records); Anaqua Springs Ranch = subdivision names containing "Anaqua" (6 records, too few for a reliable median). School districts are as listed in MLS; confirm the campus for a specific address with the district.

The practical difference: The Dominion is a Bexar County neighborhood of mostly smaller lots with a much lower median price, while Cordillera Ranch trades on acreage and the club system. If you are weighing the two, my side-by-side guide to The Dominion vs Cordillera Ranch goes deeper, and my Anaqua Springs Ranch guide covers that community.

Can Military Buyers and Veterans Use a VA Loan in Cordillera Ranch?

Yes, with conditions. VA.gov states that a borrower with full entitlement does not have a VA loan limit: the lender decides how much it will lend based on your finances, and the home must appraise at or above the price (VA.gov loan limits, updated August 12, 2025). So a $1.6 million Cordillera Ranch home is not automatically outside VA financing, and there is no separate "VA jumbo" program with its own cap; what lenders call a jumbo VA loan is simply a VA loan above the county limit.

The county limit ($832,750 for 2026 in Kendall County, the standard baseline limit) matters only if you still have a VA loan open or otherwise have reduced, remaining entitlement. In that case VA.gov notes your lender may require a down payment; most lenders want your entitlement, your down payment or both to cover at least 25 percent of the loan. Lender approval rules, reserves and how a lender treats a large loan are lender requirements, not VA rules, so get them in writing from your lender.

Property tax is the other big number at this price. Under Texas Tax Code Section 11.131, a veteran with a 100 percent service-connected disability rating, or a 100 percent rating for individual unemployability, can receive a total exemption on the residence homestead; it does not cover other property (Texas Comptroller FAQ). For Cordillera Ranch the application goes to the Kendall County appraisal district. My Texas veteran property tax exemption guide covers the partial exemptions as well.

What Should You Know Before Buying a Lot to Build in Cordillera Ranch?

Many buyers here buy land and build. Before you go under contract on a lot, get the current architectural design guidelines and review process from the developer, the deed restrictions for that specific section, and written answers on water, wastewater, gas and internet service for that lot. Utilities and approval rules vary by section and by lot, so I do not rely on a general description for a specific address. Construction costs depend entirely on the plan, the site and the finishes; get a builder's written estimate rather than a per-square-foot rule of thumb.

How Should You Price and Sell a Cordillera Ranch Home in 2026?

Quick answer: Price to closed sales. Over the last 12 months, 36 Cordillera Ranch homes closed at a median of $1,644,000, at an average of 94.7 percent of final list price, while the 33 active listings ask a median of $2,490,000 (SABOR MLS, pulled October 21, 2026). With roughly 11 months of inventory, buyers can compare a lot of homes, and an overpriced listing tends to sit.

Three things matter most when you choose a listing agent here. First, proof of closed sales and real marketing in the $1M-plus Hill Country market: ask for them, as covered in my guide to who sells the most luxury homes in the San Antonio Hill Country. Second, a written pricing plan built on closed comps from your section and lot size, like the approach in my Dominion and Stone Oak luxury selling guide. Third, a plan to reach buyers beyond the local market. My luxury realtor vetting checklist lists the questions to ask before you sign a listing agreement.
