The ranch features scenic views with native brush, mesquites, and large oaks. Windemere offers a full plate of recreational opportunities with abundant wildlife and the neighboring preserve. Once on the property, its hard to know you are so close to a thriving city. The ranch is currently under an agricultural exemption for low taxes and features excellent grazing.
This property is excellent for investment or recreational use, but it also has a development plan in place. The present owners have done an outstanding job of creating a proposed development which protects this very environmentally sensitive area yet provides much needed home sites for this university town. Phase One, The Preserve at Windemere, has a preliminary approval for 74 lots with a park area and trails to connect with the Spring Lake Preserve. Phase Two, The Enclave at Windemere, is pending preliminary approval and features 52 lots. Phase Three is slated for future development and covers the area north of the proposed Craddock Avenue. Be sure and see the development plans under the "Features and Details" tab at the top right of this page.
The current development plan allows maximum usage and incorporates the Sink Creek Flood Control System, including a spillway levy on the property. All utilities are available so development could begin immediately or enjoy the ranch and hold for the future. The property has a water well currently used for livestock. Two former irrigation wells (unpermitted) have been capped. Most of the property is accessible with roads throughout.
