A swimming lagoon with loungers and umbrellas in front of two-story homes with low single-slope roofs

Texas Hill Country

The resort you don't check out of

Two-story rental homes around a swimming lagoon, a café and Market, a sauna and cold plunge, courts and gardens. Leased, not sold.

A place to live, not to visit

The long weekend, every weekday

People fly to places like this for a long weekend, then come home to an apartment with a treadmill in a windowless room. We're building the one you live in, a short walk from your own front door.

  • The gym membership
  • The sauna studio
  • The pool club
  • The drive to decent groceries

All of it is here, and all of it is in the lease.

The splash end

A waterslide and a giant tipping bucket

At the far end of the water, because a pool nobody laughs in is just a water feature. Adults are not exempt. It has its own corner, so the lagoon itself stays calm.

What's here

A very good Saturday, without leaving

Sauna, gym, café, Market, courts and practitioners, all inside a short walk from your door.

  • A cedar sauna with a round limestone cold plunge on the lagoon deck

    On the deck

    Sauna and cold plunge

    A cedar sauna and a limestone cold plunge on the lagoon deck, steps from the gym. Hot, cold, repeat, then a long sit in the sun.

  • A glass-walled gym with weights and a timber ceiling looking out over the water

    Before work

    A gym that looks at the water

    Glass on the lagoon side, a timber ceiling, real weights. Two minutes from your door, which is the only gym membership that gets used.

  • People at tables on a shaded café terrace under oak trees

    At the gate

    The café terrace

    Espresso, fresh juice and breakfast under the oaks. Open to the public, so it's where you meet friends, clients and the neighbours.

  • A small grocery market with a tiled counter, produce and shoppers

    Every day

    The Market

    Real groceries a short walk from your kitchen: produce, pantry, grab-and-go. Non-GMO throughout. Residents' first coffee of the day is on the house.

  • Residents playing pickleball beside a sand volleyball court

    After work

    Sports courts

    Pickleball, sand volleyball and basketball. Somebody always needs one more.

  • A bright, quiet room with a tall window onto trees and grasses

    Next door

    Practitioners on the property

    Massage and chiropractic beside the Market. Book it on the walk to get your coffee.

After dark

The commons

A long table for twelve, a fire along one wall and water running down the other. Residents can book it for a client meeting, a birthday dinner or a very serious board game night.

Next door, the game room: foosball, shuffleboard, chess, a jigsaw that's always half finished, and a cooler stocked from the Market.

  • People walking dogs on a path beside open pasture

    Grounds and trails

    Open pasture, a 0.8-mile walking loop, a dog meadow, EV charging at the lot.

  • A bright living and dining room with large windows

    Inside every home

    Washer and dryer, wired internet in every room, polished concrete floors.

Who it suits

Made for the way you actually live

Eight ways people tell us they'd use it, and the home that fits each one best.

  • You work from home

    Wired internet in every room, walls you can't hear through, a meeting room you can book, and a café terrace for the days you need other people around.

    Best fit: Two bedroom, with the second room as an office

  • You work shifts or a contract at the hospital

    Dark, quiet bedrooms for sleeping at odd hours, a sauna after a long one, food at the gate. Tell us if you'd want it furnished or on a shorter lease.

    Best fit: One bedroom

  • You train

    Gym on the water, sauna and cold plunge, courts, a 0.8-mile loop and real food, all inside a two-minute walk.

    Best fit: One bedroom

  • You have a dog

    A private fenced yard with every two-bedroom, a dog meadow, the loop, and polished floors that don't hold on to anything.

    Best fit: Two bedroom with a yard

  • You're done with a big house

    Nothing to mow, paint or fix. Lock the door and leave for a month. Neighbours, a garden and practitioners when you're home. One honest note: every home has stairs.

    Best fit: Two bedroom, two bath

  • You're sharing

    A bedroom and a bath each, a yard, and one rent with no amenity fees to argue over.

    Best fit: Two bedroom, two bath

  • You've got kids

    The splash corner, a fenced yard, gated courts with no through traffic, a garden to pick from and a pasture to run in.

    Best fit: Two bedroom with a yard

  • You're between houses

    Building, selling or just arrived in the Hill Country. Live well while you work it out. Tell us on the form if you'd want furnished or a shorter lease.

    Best fit: Any home

What it costs

More than an apartment. Far less than the resort.

Rents aren't set yet. They're set with the land and the build cost, and the list hears them first. No amenity fees, and utilities billed at cost.

How rent will work

Who's building this

Health nuts first. Developers second.

We read ingredient labels for fun and filter our own water. We're building the place we want to live in, and we plan to live next door to it.

Here is what that means for you, and for the people who already live nearby.

  • We're local

    We live in the Hill Country and our kids are growing up here. We answer to the same neighbours you do, and a manager lives on the property.

  • Small on purpose

    About 120 homes on about 25 acres. In the current plan the buildings cover about 4% of the land. It is a neighbourhood, not a subdivision.

  • Water used twice

    Rain collected from every roof. Greywater sent to the grounds. Native planting, and one shared lagoon in place of a pool behind every home.

  • Open land stays open

    The pasture stays pasture, with walking trails through it. We build around the live oaks, not over them.

  • Just outside city limits

    Close enough to town for work and school. Far enough out for dark skies, quiet nights and room to walk.

  • Within reach

    Out here, living like this has only been sold as a resort home with a seven-figure price. This is a lease.

  • A front gate that's open

    The Market, the café and the holistic-minded practitioners at the front of the property are there for anyone in the area.

  • And a back gate that isn't

    Behind gated, keyed courts, the lagoon, the sauna and cold plunge, the gym, the courts, the gardens and the trails belong to the people who live here.

Hold your place

A few questions tell us what to build more of. After that, one letter when something real happens: the land, the plans, pricing, opening day.
