New Homes from Wilshire, Highland builders coming soon to Belterra as new school, amenities and retail center open.
Wilshire Homes and Highland Homes are building a collection of new homes on lots between 60 and 65 feet wide in one of the last remaining sections of new homes called The Trails in the master-planned Belterra community.
Many of the homes in The Trails neighborhood will back up to a natural greenbelt of trees and a meandering path connected to a network of scenic trails. The homes will also be within an easy walking distance of one of Belterra’s many neighborhood parks, including The Retreat, a recently opened amenity that features a new community splash pad. The first home sites are now available for sale with model homes on site.
Wilshire Homes currently offers builds on 60-foot-wide properties in Belterra. The new neighborhood consists of larger, oversized lots, giving Wilshire the flexibility to build up to 60- and 65-foot-wide homes. These limited number of oversized home sites will offer larger yards and three-car garages. A new single-story model home called the Groverton will soon showcase the builder’s award-winning architecture, offering a spacious layout, tray ceilings and arched entryways. Homes will be priced from the $370,000s.
“Our building program in Belterra has been very successful,” said Dennis Werner, division sales manager for Wilshire Homes. “We’re pleased with the opportunity to continue offering buyers our signature flexible and energy-efficient designs in this spectacular community.”
Highland Homes will offer 60- and 65-foot-wide homes. Its upcoming model, the 204 plan, will be a 2,943 square-feet, one-story floor plan that will include four bedrooms, three baths, an outdoor living area, 3-car tandem garage and other notable features. Homes will be priced from the $300,000s. For all their builds, Highland utilizes the latest construction techniques and technology to create a well-built and energy-efficient home for residents to enjoy.
“We do extensive research and surveying to continually evolve architectural design in order to maximize livability,” said Tiffany Amore, marketing manager for Highland Homes. “Highland Homes has a commitment to our buyers especially to our friends in Belterra to make them feel empowered, informed and well taken care of.”
Named the 2015 Master-Planned Community of the Year by the Austin Business Journal, Belterra is a 1,600-acre community located minutes from downtown Austin. Residents enjoy the convenience of city living and resort-style amenities within the beauty of the Texas Hill Country. Recently, the community welcomed The Retreat at San Saba, which includes a pavilion, splash pad and fitness loops. An event lawn is also provided for events planned by the community’s full-time lifestyle director.
Children in the community from grades sixth through eighth now attend Sycamore Springs Middle School, a brand-new middle school just minutes away from the community. It’s the second middle school to open in Dripping Springs ISD, known as one of the state’s top-
performing school districts. In addition to traditional electives, extracurricular activities and special services such as athletics, music, cheerleading, dance, student council, theater, UIL and pre-AP classes, new electives offered for the 2017-2018 school year include an Entrepreneur Workshop, Small Engine Mechanics and MythSolvers.
Meanwhile, Belterra residents are eagerly awaiting the openings of local and regional retail and restaurant offerings in Belterra Village, a 93-acre, mixed-use commercial development with more than 200,000 square feet of retail space and pads along Highway 290 and over 10 acres of hike and bike trails. The first businesses are anticipated to open in early 2018.
“With the fast-paced growth in Dripping Springs, this project came at the ideal time,” said Steve Yetts, President for Ashlar Development, the master developer of Belterra community in southwest Austin. “We now have more than 1,400 residents and hundreds more to come. We’re proud to continue offering a wide range of homestyles, amenities, open spaces and retail options to accommodate the needs and wants of our residents.”
