With a strategic focus on locations in the greater Austin area, we’re dedicated to building communities and homes that deliver a unique luxury lifestyle. From master planned and boutique communities to homes that go beyond the expected, Masonwood is committed to excellence in every detail.

Masonwood began a locally owned and operated business and is poised to continue to grow and evolve while always maintaining a personal touch, team approach and dedication to our core values.

Jim Meredith founded Masonwood Development in 1994 specializing in land entitlement and development for single family housing and communities in the Greater Austin area. Using efficient, effective and responsible development methods and business processes for continuous improvement and partnering with the best contractors, engineers, home builders, and landscape architects in their fields, earned Masonwood a solid reputation as a leading presence in Austin’s development industry.

In 1999 Jim Meredith and Jim Gressett joined forces to create the premier Behrens Ranch neighborhood in Northwest Austin, forging a solid partnership that would continue to grow and evolve.

In 2018 Masonwood joined forces with builder Idea Homes, and the companies merged to form Masonwood Homes in 2020, bringing together more than 140 combined years of experience in both land development and home building.
