Homestead 8 fronts the wetland pond, then climbs. It holds a portion of the high pond berm — elevated ground with long views back across the water and out over the community — plus a stretch of bottomland that reads and lives nothing like the prairie around it. Frontage, high ground, bottomland, and open prairie on one parcel: four kinds of land to walk, and real choice in where and how to build. One of only five homesteads on the pond.
The Homesteads at Walker Branch is the only community of its kind in Fayette County, designed and built specifically for wildflowers, native grasses, and wildlife in dense abundance, right outside your front door.
Only 11 homesteads across 88 acres. Good neighbors held to the same standard, the habitat work and its upkeep handled for you, and a community plan that protects what you buy into. Everything you want from a planned community, in a place that stil...
Only 11 homesteads across 88 acres. Good neighbors held to the same standard, the habitat work and its upkeep handled for you, and a community plan that protects what you buy into. Everything you want from a planned community, in a place that still feels like the country.
If the look you want is native grasses and wildflowers, intentionally planted and nurtured, this is it. And it's designed so you see wildlife from your porch — 42 nesting boxes, 11 ground feeders, 6 water stations — all managed year-round by professional habitat specialists, whether you're here or not. In May, our bird listening devices recorded bobwhite quail at Walker Branch — in Texas, the surest sign that native habitat is working again.
Every homestead carries the Certified Texas Prairie designation from the Native Prairies Association of Texas, and the conservation work earns wildlife management property tax valuation, saving you money every year.
GIVE US A CALL
Jacob is ready to answer your questions. As head of operations at Land Within Reach®, he built The Homesteads at Walker Branch from bare pasture — the entrances, the roads, the fencing, the habitat work. Most people who call have never bought land before and want to know how the wildlife tax valuation works, what the design standards do and don't require, and what's involved with water wells and septic systems. Call or text — Jacob would rather talk it through than have you guess.
