Friedën
Home to the 2026 Southern Living Idea House
Friedën is the first and only Southern Living Inspired Community in Texas, and home to the 2026 Southern Living Idea House.Rooted in nature, this year's 4,000-sqare-foot home has a modern farmhouse design, seamlessly blending traditional Texas Hill Country style with a contemporary palette and details.
Its architecture allows for multi-generational living, including a motor court entry, and private casita. Floor-to-ceiling windows are designed to dissolve the boundaries between the interior and curated landscape, framing the beauty of the Texas Hill Country and celebrating the indoor-outdoor lifestyle.
A Land Plan That Follows Existing Topography
Spanning more than 130 acres of picturesque Texas hill country, Friedën offers parks, trails, lakes, and more to its residents whose homesites are optimally placed in harmony with the surrounding environment.
Communal Gathering Spaces
Frieden was designed from the beginning with Nature and Nurture in mind. Community members enjoy a secure and peaceful environment, while the extensive trail system, spring fed lakes, 12 acre park, and state of the art amenities offer plenty of opportunities for outdoor exercise and activities. Residents can follow the meandering trail system to the three spring-fed lakes or participate in communal gatherings with neighbors at the Community Barn. The rolling landscape and ancient post oaks have been carefully preserved, and homes are thoughtfully positioned throughout the development to ensure privacy and scenic views.
Timeless Design
Friedën has well-established architectural guidelines based on the strong conceptual themes of the Hill Country farmhouse, including specs for exterior finish materials, neutral color palates, and roofing systems. These guidelines ensure that the vision and feeling of Frieden remains consistent, and to protect individual homeowners’ investments.
