Life in Cordillera Ranch
A Hill Country pace, with space to let the days open up
The drive here is part of the experience. As you head east of Boerne along Highway 46, the landscape opens up: rolling Hill Country terrain, larger homesites, and custom homes set back from the road. Cordillera Ranch feels completely different from the neighborhoods closer to I-10, and that is part of its appeal.
It is also much larger than many people realize, so exploring matters. The community is organized into neighborhood sections with different homesite patterns, and a first visit to one section can leave the wrong impression of the whole. Give yourself time to drive the different areas; the variety is where the character lives.
Cordillera Ranch sits in Kendall County, with Boerne as its mailing city in the 78006 ZIP range, and the Guadalupe River runs along part of the setting. The community is gated, with 24/7 guarded security, and Boerne's restaurants, shops, and everyday conveniences stay close at hand while San Antonio lies southwest along Highway 46 and I-10. The Boerne area overview shows how the county seat anchors the northern end of the corridor.
Schools run through Boerne ISD, with campus assignment set by each property's address rather than by the community name or ZIP code. And there is real news for homeowners to watch: Boerne ISD has acquired 19 acres inside the community's newer phase, The Springs of Cordillera Ranch, for a future elementary school site, per district announcements. Timing and boundaries come from the district as the project moves forward.

Tami's Take
Tami's point of view on the community
Cordillera Ranch is one of those communities where the drive itself helps tell the story. The Hill Country landscape, larger homesites, custom homes, and open spaces give it a completely different feel from the neighborhoods closer to I 10. It's also much larger than many people realize, so I'd encourage buyers to spend time exploring rather than making a decision based on the first section they see. For someone looking for more space and a distinctly Hill Country setting while staying connected to Boerne, Cordillera Ranch offers a lifestyle that's hard to compare with a traditional subdivision.

Amenities and the Clubs of Cordillera Ranch
Seven club experiences, gathered around one Hill Country lifestyle
Recreation here runs through The Clubs of Cordillera Ranch, seven distinct club experiences tied together by one membership. It is a deliberate structure: homeownership and club membership are separate, so the club is a choice you make rather than something that comes with the deed.
The Golf Club
A Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course shaped around the Hill Country terrain.
The Social Club
A native limestone clubhouse with refined dining, a wine cellar, and private event spaces.
The River Club
Outfitter services, equipment rentals, and a private 60-acre park along the Guadalupe River for kayaking, tubing, and fishing.
The Equestrian Club
A boarding and training facility with dedicated riding trails.
The Rod & Gun Club
Sporting clays, archery ranges, and guided fishing excursions.
The Tennis & Swim Club
Tennis courts, pickleball facilities, and a resort-style tiered pool complex.
The Spa & Athletic Club
A fitness center, a Pilates studio, personal training, and spa treatment facilities.
Membership categories currently include Full Golf, Limited Golf, and Ranch memberships. One club membership unlocks access to the seven club features, but not every property owner automatically has access to all club amenities or the river amenities; whether a specific home carries access depends on the property and membership documents that apply to it.
As reported figures rather than published rates, initiation fees for the top tier, reported as Master Golf, run around $75,000 to $92,000, with monthly club dues reported around $1,300 to $1,500. Ranch and Social memberships are reported at reduced rates for non-golfers. Current options, fees, availability, and access policies are confirmed directly with the club.
Homes and Sections
Sections that differ, opportunities that vary by location
Cordillera Ranch is organized into neighborhood sections, and homesites vary substantially by section and location, so there is no universal lot-size range for the community as a whole. Depending on the section, you may find golf-oriented homesites, acreage properties, Hill Country-view lots, and river-area opportunities.
The housing runs to estate homes and custom homes rather than a single builder lineup, and the section you land in shapes the lot, the view, and the trade-offs. Lot dimensions and boundaries are confirmed for a specific property from the plat, survey, and title record, so the record matters as much as the first impression.
Existing homes
$1.2M to well over $5M
Reported general range, September 2026
Vacant lots
from around $100K
Past $1M for premium golf, hilltop, or riverfront parcels
Homesites

Golf-oriented, acreage, Hill Country-view, and river-area opportunities
Taxes and verification
The community sits entirely in Kendall County, with a total tax rate generally reported around 1.7% to 2.0% and no Municipal Utility District (MUD) tax, per Tami Price's September 2026 research. Actual rates and entities vary by property, exemptions, and appraisal values, so buyers verify the current record with the Kendall Appraisal District and use the property tax verification guide to read the record.

- Mailing City
- Boerne, ZIP: 78006

- Confirmed from the property record for the specific address; a Boerne mailing address does not establish a municipality
- School District

It is natural to assume a Boerne mailing address means the City of Boerne, but it does not always work that way. Cordillera Ranch homes carry Boerne addresses in the 78006 ZIP range, and city-limits status for a specific property is confirmed from the record. The Boerne Address vs. City of Boerne guide walks through why a mailing label and a city boundary are two different things.

Questions
Cordillera Ranch, asked and answered
Is Cordillera Ranch inside the City of Boerne?
Neither this page nor the community brief places Cordillera Ranch inside Boerne city limits. Boerne is the mailing city, but a mailing address does not establish a municipality, so city-limits status is confirmed from the property record for the specific address. The Boerne Address vs. City of Boerne guide walks through the difference.
Which county and appraisal district govern Cordillera Ranch?
Per the community brief, Cordillera Ranch sits in Kendall County with Kendall Appraisal District records, and homes carry Boerne mailing addresses in the 78006 ZIP range. County and appraisal district are confirmed for the specific property rather than assumed from the ZIP code or the mailing address.
Does every property owner get club access?
Club membership is separate from homeownership at Cordillera Ranch. Property owners do not automatically receive access to all club amenities or river amenities, and one club membership unlocks the seven club features. Whether a specific home carries club access depends on the property and membership documents that apply to it.
What do club memberships cost?
As reported figures rather than published rates, initiation fees for the top tier, reported as Master Golf, run around $75,000 to $92,000, with monthly club dues reported around $1,300 to $1,500. Ranch and Social memberships are reported at reduced rates for non-golfers. Buyers confirm current options and fees directly with the club.
How large are the homesites?
Homesites vary substantially by section and location, so there is no universal lot-size range for the community as a whole. Depending on the neighborhood section, buyers may find golf-oriented, acreage, Hill Country-view, and river-area opportunities. Lot dimensions are confirmed from the plat, survey, and title record for a specific property.
What do homes in Cordillera Ranch cost?
As a September 2026 general-range snapshot from market sources, existing homes typically range from $1.2 million to well over $5 million, and vacant lots generally start around $100,000 to $200,000, climbing past $1 million for premium golf, hilltop, or riverfront parcels. The snapshot varies by home, lot, and finish.
How long is the drive?
Per the community brief, the gated entrances sit roughly 15 minutes from downtown Boerne and roughly 40 to 50 minutes from downtown San Antonio via Highway 46 and I-10. Drive times are approximate and vary with the specific address, the route, and the time of day.
What should buyers verify before making an offer?
For any Cordillera Ranch property, buyers confirm city and tax status, club membership terms, river or club access, section-specific rules, school assignment, lot size, and utilities for that specific home. The appraisal district, the serving school district, and the property documents are the places to verify from.
