Welcome!
At this stage of the development, the community consists primarily of families with young children, from pre-school through the early years of grade school. When completed, a total of 174 lots are approved through five sections covering 230 acres, with close to 100 acres devoted to "open space" controlled by the developer.
The smaller lots of Section I were built out three years ago with homes priced $400,000 to $525,000, and the homes built in Section II priced from $500,000 to $750,000. Adjusting for costs, those earlier homes would re-sell in the $500's as well.
The new Estate Section has a 4,000 SF minimum and prices in the
$700,000-$800,000 range with two recent homes priced at over $1.2 Million.
All of the "front yard" landscaping is handled by contracts that encompass the entire subdivision. All the front yards are mowed and bagged at the same time. The lawns are chemically treated, fertilized, and weeded periodically. Each spring, pine mulch is spread in the flower beds. All these costs are folded into the maintenance fees, and billed quarterly. We believe this adds immensely to the appeal of the neighborhood.
The Estates are the largest lots in the subdivision. With elevated horizons across the ridge, and hardwoods to the outside boundaries, these lots are probably the best value in Williamson County today. So we want to protect the potential of this enclave, while making a limited number of these lots available to the public.
Look around. Other developments are minimizing the size of their lots, even eliminating backyards. Front yards have been reduced in some cases to less than ten feet between the sidewalks and the homes themselves.
On the other hand, we are marketing the traditional advantages that most of us enjoyed as children. Our average backyard is 100' wide and 100' deep. Our front yards have a minimum setback of forty feet (40') between the sidewalk and the closest projection of the house itself. We have another 100 acres of open space that flows through the subdivision and behind most of the lots. Everyone benefits from the sense of privacy that accompanies this enhanced view of open land.
The primary amenity throughout the subdivision is the open space. The additional sixty acres of county park across from the subdivision, behind Trinity Elementary School, are a bonus for the subdivision, and the children. The homes themselves start 350' back from North Chapel Rd. The streets, sidewalks, and houses quickly curve back and out of sight, following the boundaries of the creek as it disappears into the recesses of the subdivision.
Do you want an amenity package? Other developments will limit the depth of the backyards to fifty feet, then offer a community "amenity package" with a pool and a clubhouse on an acre or two. The backyards will typically back up to other lots, and other homes or backyards. There's no open land, but 100 or more families can send their children down to the one "community" pool. We prefer the open land, and backyards large enough that you can build your own pool.
We've put the emphasis on 100 acres of undeveloped land: room to walk, throw a baseball, run with the dog, or fly a kite with the kids. And then there's always the year round creek itself: assuming someone still wants to search for crawdaddies, or just roll up their jeans. |
