August 15, 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm Open House, Tours of
Award-Winning Woodson Place Conservation Development

Don’t miss this special chance to tour the first development ever to earn Texas Parks and Wildlife Department’s Lone Star Land Steward Award, which recognized The Woodson Place as the first Texas community to integrate “greenbuilt” homes with conservation development goals of parkscape living, wildlife habitat preservation, and native plant wildscaping!

Offering guided tours today will be our Realtor, Beth Johnson of Advocates Realty. Beth is the world’s first Realtor to earn the “Quadruple Crown” of greenbuilding credentials, and she’s the first Texas Realtor to earn either EcoBroker or LEED AP credentials.

Tour greenbuilt and other design features of our Texas farmhouse-style “Idea Home” in our Meadows Village that garnered highest (5-star) recognition under Austin’s Green Building Program. Take a quiet golf cart tour (or walk on your own) to learn about our wildlife ponds, woodlands, prairies, trails, and community gathering facilities. On the shady porch beneath ceiling fans, rock and relax to cicada song, sip country lemonade and eat Mimi’s chocolate chip cookies, and learn about what the Dallas Morning News featured as the “Green Home on the Range” where wildlife preservation and sensitive development co-exist.

Tours may also be available (call to confirm) of recently completed homes in our Edgewood and Westfield Villages that are expected to achieve recognition under U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) program and the Home Builders Association’s Green Built Texas program respectively.

Lot selection is still good, and this is your chance to choose your special lot for your custom home!

For more details and to RSVP (much appreciated!), please call Beth Johnson, Advocates Realty, 214.415.5089.
 

Summer is here and the livin’ is easy--it’s a great time to schedule your own relaxed private green home and conservation subdivision showing or to join us at an open house!

Activity is booming at The Woodson Place! The last two neighborhood roads are open, and lot selection is still good. You can still choose a special view of the wildlife pond, or perhaps being adjacent to the woods, grand-daddy oaks shading your patio, or sweeping prairie vistas. Two new green homes were recently completed, and residents are getting settled in. Prairie grasses and wildflowers are thriving in the wake of our habitat management team’s controlled prairie burn last winter to enhance native vegetation and wildlife foods. If you’re looking for a home in the country for yourself and wildlife, this is a great time to schedule an appointment for a private showing or to sign up to be notified of public open house tours.

The Dallas Morning News features award-winning Woodson Place "Green Home on the Range" with "spotlight" article and virtual tour.
