The Orchards at Pecan Acres
David Wersebe’s family has owned their ranch in Fulshear, Texas since his grandfather fell in love with the land in the 1920’s. The ranch became known for its rows of pecan trees that were fruitful for years. When the trees no longer produced nuts, it was time for Wersebe to decide what the future of the land would hold. The land is adjacent to polo fields, which are part of Fulshear’s prominent equestrian culture. The iconic pecan trees and polo fields played a great role in Wersebe’s vision for this build.
Wersebe is not an architect, but has always been a lover of architecture. Over a backyard barbecue with his neighbor Shannon Galway, the idea for a residential development was born. Wersebe’s philosophy was to build a home that he would enjoy living in. Many of the elements were inspired by Scandinavian design, and the ultimate concept was for the home to be a livable piece of art. After travel and research, the team decided that the development would focus on the natural beauty of the land, and the residences would be designed using natural materials that complemented the scenic surroundings. Wersebe believes this idea, along with the individuality of each subsequent house, is what sets this development apart from the many other rapidly-growing developments in Fulshear. The Fulshear House is just the first of many exquisite homes to be built on this land, and no two will be exactly the same.
