Rooted in Craft.
Built on Trust.
Orchard Valley Homes is a custom home builder serving Central Texas with a reputation for quality, honesty, and hands-on service. We believe building a home should feel exciting, not overwhelming—and that your builder should feel like a partner, not a salesperson.
For us, it’s not just about putting up walls. It’s about helping families create the spaces where life happens—where memories are made, kids grow up, and traditions are born.
Our Story
Owned and operated by husband-and-wife team Alex and Dawn Bass, Orchard Valley Homes was built on a foundation of faith, family, and a love for creating beautiful, lasting homes.
Alex and Dawn both graduated from Belton High School in 2000—high school sweethearts who went on to earn their bachelor’s degrees from Stephen F. Austin. Alex later received his Juris Doctorate from the University of Oklahoma, but it was their shared passion for building and design that led to the creation of Orchard Valley Homes.
Together, they've been building and remodeling homes across Bell County, including Belton, Temple, Salado, Holland, and Little River/Academy.
