CUSTOM HOME BUILDER NORTH TEXAS
Your Forever Home on Your Own Land, Built by a Team That Knows North Texas
Fig Tree Homes is a family-owned custom home builder serving families across North Texas who are ready to build the one on their own land.
Why Families Are Trading the Metroplex for Land Up North
North Texas has a pull that’s hard to put into words until you’ve driven out past the suburbs and felt the landscape open up. Rolling pasture, wooded acreage, wide skies, and the kind of quiet that’s getting hard to find. Families are leaving cookie-cutter neighborhoods for land in Denton, Cooke, Montague, Wise, and Grayson Counties and building homes that reflect how they want to live.
Some are here for the horses. Some are here for the hunting, the ability to raise cattle, or the chance to watch their kids play Friday night football in a town where everybody knows their name. Some simply want a back porch that looks out over land that belongs to them.
The drive to the Metroplex is still manageable. But the life waiting for you up north is a different one entirely.
Life on Your Own Land,
Exactly the Way You Planned It
Imagine being on your own land, surrounded by space and quiet, in a home built around how you live. There’s a shop, a barn, or a dedicated home office—whatever your life here called for. And you got here without the surprises or the stress most people walk away with.
You never had to chase your builder for an update
You moved in on time, on budget, without regret
Every space feels created specifically for your family’s needs
Local Knowledge Protects Your Investment. Ours Runs Deep.
Much of the land across Denton and Wise Counties sits within the Cross Timbers region, a mix of wooded bottomland, rolling prairie, and clay-heavy soils that require a builder who knows what they’re looking at during site evaluation. Slope, drainage, and soil composition can vary dramatically from one lot to the next even within the same county. We know the land, the counties, and the trade partners across Denton, Cooke, Montague, Wise, and Grayson Counties. We’ve navigated the permitting timelines, the soil conditions, and the site-specific variables that come with rural acreage builds in this part of North Texas.
Based in Sanger. Building Across the Region We Call Home.
Fig Tree Homes is a family-owned custom home builder in North Texas founded by Ian Sears in in 2020. The team includes an in-house designer, a dedicated superintendent, and a business development coordinator, all working together to deliver the same structured, transparent build experience on every project. North Texas is not just our service area: it’s where we call home, the land we know, and the communities we’re part of.
The Counties We Serve and the Communities We Know
Fig Tree Homes builds within approximately 40 miles of Sanger, Texas. That puts us right in the heart of the region, close enough to Lake Ray Roberts to the east, the rolling ranchland of Montague and Wise Counties to the west, and the Red River communities of Grayson and Cooke Counties to the north. We intentionally stay within this area so we can remain closely involved in every build.

Our Process
How a North Texas Custom Home Begins
01. Tell Us About Your Project
Submit a quick form and our team will be in touch within 24 hours to learn more about your project and your build site within North Texas.
02. Complete a Brief Questionnaire
We'll send you a short questionnaire about your ideal home, scope, and features so we can come prepared to our initial call.
03.Connect With Ian
We'll schedule a consultation with Ian, our owner, to walk through your project, answer your questions, and share some preliminary budget ranges based on what you've submitted. It's an open conversation about whether we're the right builder for you.
From there, we lock in every detail before construction begins with our detailed preconstruction process.
Custom Homes Designed Around the Family Living in Them
Fig Tree Homes builds fully custom homes on rural North Texas acreage.
We don’t do renovations, production builds, or spec homes. Every project is a forever home designed around one specific family, built through a structured pre-construction process that finalizes every selection and confirms every dollar before construction begins.
What It Costs to Build Your Dream Home Up North
Custom home costs vary based on square footage, site conditions, and material selections. Rural builds in North Texas carry additional considerations including soil testing, septic permitting, well installation, and site grading that can catch clients off guard if they aren't priced upfront. At Fig Tree, these are identified and confirmed during pre-construction so the number you agree to is the number you pay.
“He listened to what was most important to our family and delivered!
Fig Tree Homes built our family the most beautiful custom home. Ian was such a blessing to our family. He was transparent, honest, dependable and skilled. He listened to our desires for our home and what was most important in our build. Ian is wonderful at communication which made the process run very smoothly.”
