Upscale acreage development with high quality, in-town amenities located in the Texas Hill Country (June 30, 2008) SPRING BRANCH, TX – Despite a cooling real estate trend nationwide, the Texas Hill Country continues to see demand for real estate from buyers as well as new developments from investors. As buyers compare the Hill Country offerings available, developers are striving to create added value in their communities by enhancing their amenity offerings beyond what was traditionally seen in the past, now offering amenities seen previously only as part of in-town suburbs. One such neighborhood is the new development Cascada at Canyon Lake.
According to developer Bron Leatham of Stadler & Leatham Development, “At Cascada at Canyon Lake, we’re striving to set the community apart by providing homeowners with the amenities they have become accustomed to living with in-town. That way they feel like they’re living in a true neighborhood, but within the beauty and serenity of the Texas Hill Country.”
To set themselves apart, Cascada has included in their community such amenities as: underground utilities, paved streets with curbs, gutters, sidewalks and street lights. The entrance to the neighborhood will have a gated guardhouse with landscaping and waterfall. Residents will be able to enjoy future-proofing for their communication needs with fiber optics provided by GVTC, a service not available in many cities. To enjoy the beauty of the Hill Country, the development also has over five miles of hike and bike trails, including trails through over one mile of creek front parks.
The neighborhood also features a community center nestled in a meadow next to the development’s signature live water creek where the Bridal Vail Falls cascade over the cliffs. Residents of Cascada will be able to enjoy a variety of amenities here including an indoor sport court, outdoor pool, cabana and cooking area, playing fields, children’s playground and a sand volleyball court. The community center will be built by Stadler Custom Homes and be over 3,000 square feet. The Mediterranean architecture of the center and serene setting will make the perfect venue for residents to plan special events. The community center also features a full kitchen, stage and restroom facilities.
The Texas Hill Country continues to be one of the country’s hot spots in terms of travel and real estate, recently being named in June 2008 by The New York Times, “The #1 place to visit in the country.”
Economic reports released in June 2008 show that the San Antonio real estate market is also continuing a strong trend, in comparison with the rest of the country, with home prices appreciating in April 2008. Although people are still continuing to purchase real estate in San Antonio, buyers are being more cautious with how they invest their dollars, especially when purchasing land. They are looking for more than just a pretty lot and considering the development as a whole to help protect their investment. Are there sensible restrictions to maintain the quality of the development? What improvements has the developer put in place to create a high quality community that residents will enjoy and which will keep the property demand high well into the future? Developers, like Stadler & Leatham, who take these considerations to their developments will continue to help buyers feel more secure about their investment.
Cascada at Canyon Lake is a 450-acre master planned residential community located north of San Antonio and west of New Braunfels in the Texas Hill Country. The community offers its residents on-site recreational opportunities and boasts 1 to 3-acre homesites, including many with live water creek frontage or hilltop views for miles into the horizon. Ultimately, Cascada at Canyon Lake will feature up to 300 homesites. Phase one includes 98 lots. The developer has put in place high quality building standards with strictly enforced protective covenants, to maintain the beauty of the development and protect their resident’s investments. Cascada’s location allows convenient access to highly acclaimed Comal ISD schools, San Antonio medical centers, shopping, churches, entertainment and the San Antonio International Airport. Residents of Cascada pay lower taxes than those of Bexar County with no city taxes. Cascada is being developed by Stadler & Leatham Development out of Bulverde, Texas.
