Georgetown Spotlight Centered On Custom Home Communities

Georgetown, located approximately 20 miles north of Austin off of I-35 is enriched with custom home communities that represent a large portion of the area’s prime real estate.  Despite common belief, custom home communities in Georgetown carry affordable options for a range of home owners, including first time homebuyers, families, to active adults.   Three exceptionally noted custom home communities in Georgetown, Preserve at Escalera Ranch, Woodland Park and Shady Oaks offer expansive and affordable acre plus homesites with picturesque views and fine custom homes for peaceful hill country living.

The Preserve at Escalera Ranch is a nature-inspired, residential retreat comprised of fifty, heavily-wooded, 1 to 2 ½ acre lots from the 80’s in a setting of secluded landscape.   The developmental philosophy and guidelines of the community seeks to protect and maintain the natural beauty of the environment, by balancing elegant residencies with the wildlife and indigenous plants and trees that make the area unique.  Residents at the Preserve at Escalera Ranch feel the solitude and escape of the city lights but the community is favorably positioned off of FM 2243/Leander Road, which bisects major corridors including I-35, 183A toll road and Parmer (Ronald Regan Boulevard).  Children in the community belong in the award-winning Leander School District and attend Parkside Elementary, Wiley Middle School, and the new Rouse High School.

Enjoy the beauty of the hill country from the comfort of your back door at Woodland Park, another alluring community in Georgetown, located off of Williams Drive. Woodland Park’s wooded, acre plus lots, from the 40’s, are not only generous in size but feature breathtaking views of the rolling Texas hills.  The community boasts low municipal taxes and is just minutes from elite Georgetown ISD schools, renowned medical facilities and Lake Georgetown.  Woodland Park recently released a brand new section of wooded acre plus homesites, and are offering $25,000 off the price of any homesite in the new section, for a limited time.

Shady Oaks Estates is another serene, wooded custom home community, located on the outer rim of Georgetown, on Highway 195.  Mature live oak trees, unique to the area, spread wide over Shady Oaks Estates’ beautiful acre plus home sites, from the 40’s.  Enjoy outdoor living at its finest and spend hours outdoors sitting back and devouring the views that make you feel miles apart from civilization.  Shady Oaks is not only a short commute from north Austin, but notably from Killeen area as well.  Residents enjoy a low tax rate, moderate restrictions and minimal HOA fees.  Shady Oaks Estates also recently released a brand new section of wooded acre plus homesites and are offering $10,000 any homesite in the new section, for a limited time.
