Pools designed for Anaqua Springs Ranch's Hill Country lots.
Anaqua Springs Ranch is a guard-gated luxury community on roughly 920 acres of limestone bluffs and wooded ravines along Leon Creek, with custom estates on 1–5+ acre lots. We've built pools throughout the community and know its terrain and design review process first-hand.
Every Anaqua Springs Ranch pool we build is engineered to its exact estate lot, submitted through the community's design review the right way the first time, and finished in durable PebbleTec.
Built by two brothers and career firefighters, J. Oliver Pools brings the same accountability to every Anaqua Springs Ranch project. Most custom gunite pools here run between $95,000 and $190,000, matching the scale of the community's estate lots.
Limestone bluffs and spring-fed ravines give Anaqua Springs Ranch its character, and its dramatic terrain and elevation changes make every pool site a unique engineering problem.
Life in a guard-gated Hill Country estate community.
Anaqua Springs Ranch sits off Toutant Beauregard Road near Boerne Stage and Scenic Loop Road, about 5.6 miles west of I-10 and Leon Springs. Established in 2005 on roughly 920 acres, the guard-gated community is known for its rugged limestone bluffs, wooded ravines, and spring-fed waterfalls along Leon Creek.
Anaqua Springs Ranch is zoned to Northside ISD rather than Boerne ISD, reflecting its position closer to San Antonio's northwest side. Custom estates here typically run 3,200 to over 5,600 square feet on 1 to 5+ acre lots, with sustainable design and high-end craftsmanship common throughout.
The community's limestone bluffs and ravine terrain mean elevation change is the defining site condition on most Anaqua Springs Ranch lots. We run a full geotechnical and topographic survey before design, since a pool that works on a level pad rarely translates directly to a sloped, rock-faced lot.
The 24-hour guarded gate means coordinating crew and delivery access in advance is a standard part of scheduling every project here — we build that into our timeline from the first site visit rather than treating it as a surprise mid-build.
Deer are a common sight throughout the neighborhood's winding, tree-lined streets, and many homeowners want pool and deck designs that preserve views of the wooded ravines and creek below rather than screening them off entirely.
A well-built custom pool suits Anaqua Springs Ranch's estate positioning well — buyers here expect a finished, architecturally distinctive backyard, and a properly permitted, design-approved gunite pool supports that value at resale.
