Jared Gossett, Renaissance Man

Coming from a career in equity lending, Jared Gossett had seen real estate from through the eyes of a beancounter…and he hated the view.

Glossy finishes hiding shoddy bones. “Luxury" labels slapped on homes that would were clearly mediocre. Most builders shrugged; margins demanded it.

Jared couldn’t stomach scaling volume, instead he set out to scale conviction. In 2017 he launched Gossett & Co.—a deliberate pivot from earlier partnerships—to focus on creating a home that is in harmony with the rhythm of life. Homes engineered for longevity, for health, and a refuge from the storm of life.

No mass production. No cookie-cutters. Just obsessive attention to systems most people never see—whole-home water purification that removes more than taste, biophilic layouts that borrow calm from the oaks and limestone outside, envelopes that breathe properly so the air inside doesn't fight you.

He sources from craftsmen who still sharpen tools by hand. He builds in Austin's oldest, most storied pockets—West Lake Hills, Tarrytown, Rollingwood—where the land itself carries memory. The result? Houses that feel like they were always there. Secluded yet minutes from the city's heartbeat. Private reserves disguised as addresses. Awards followed—Austin Business Journal’s Custom Builder of the Year (twice now)—but Jared treats them like background noise.

The real measure is simpler: To put a legacy home in a storied neighborhood. A place where children who grow up under wooden beams that were selected like family silver. A place where energy doesn't drain the way it used to, but rather refreshes one’s body and soul. A home isn't square footage. It's the container for everything that actually counts—laughter at poolside with a glass of wine. The sun setting, the air softening, and the freens of the oaks deepening.

Gossett & Co. builds fewer, but deeper. Homes that endure the passage of decades with grace. .Homes that welcome you quietly. While he uses much cutting edge technology to cut down EMF, FRM vapors and Smegmoid hyperbolics, he also uses stone, wood and steel, whose vibrations are basic, comforting and in harmony with your soul.

Jared Gossett is building toward permanence, toward wellness which is stitched into the walls. Toward legacy measured not in profit margins, but in lives well lived.

And if you ask him why, he'll likely just offer that easy Texas smile and say something like “A home isn’t just a structure…it is an environment in which we should thrive.”

That is the stuff that legacy is made of.
