THE WOODLANDS, TX – (July 8, 2009) – Development of Timarron, a new 240-acre area located west of Kuykendahl Road in The Woodlands’ Village of Creekside Park, is well underway and construction is scheduled to begin this summer on new homes by Pulte Homes and Beazer Homes, according to Buck Driggers, vice president of residential sales and development for The Woodlands Development Company.
There will be 10 neighborhoods within Timarron, five comprised of single-family homes, and five featuring patio homes. Homes will be priced from the $170’s. The centerpiece of Timarron will be 7-acre Timarron Park, including a Craftsman-style picnic pavilion that will seat 50, a Craftsman-style restroom, separate play equipment for older and younger children, a lighted basketball court, two lighting tennis courts, play field and picnic areas. The park is connected to surrounding neighborhoods by two miles of trails. The trails will also connect Timarron with Tomball ISD schools in Creekside Park and the planned village shopping center.
Five lakes, ranging in size from approximately one acre to 12 acres, are located throughout the neighborhood. “This chain of lakes provides water views to many of the homesites in Timarron,” Driggers said. “A forested greenway connects the neighborhoods with the park and pathway system and planned village center. Three access points are also planned from Timarron to the 1,700-acre George Mitchell Nature Preserve, ultimately connecting to Burroughs Park in Spring and the Spring Creek Greenway, a 33-mile trail system linking parklands in Harris and Montgomery Counties.
“Timarron is secluded yet has easy access to Kuykendahl Road north to work centers in other parts of The Woodlands, and south to FM 2920 and FM 249,” Driggers said.
Pulte Homes plans to open two models in early August in Timarron. Homes will range from 1,600 to over 2,500 square feet and will start in the $170’s. Homes will provide a variety of floorplan layouts including single story, two-story and a 1 ½-story home that offers first floor living with a game room and half bath upstairs. All homes will feature extensive luxury items standard such as granite countertops, 42” maple cabinets, 18” ceramic tile, extended covered back patios and more.
Beazer Homes will be offering homes in the 1,500-2,339-square foot range. Several of the homes will be one-story plans, but will have optional upstairs gamerooms or an extra bedroom and bath. Beazer will also be offering their Eco-Plus package including a completely foam insulated home with 15 SEER air conditioning, tankless hot water heaters and other energy efficient features.
