Toll Brothers at West Park in Plano selling Phase 2!

Feb27

I always have buyers ask me about Plano and my answer is always the same for new homes. Either Avignon, which is basically sold out and at a very high price point, or this jewel of a community in an incredible location! 

West Park is the first development on Haggard Farm. The Haggards have been in Plano forever and they are slowly selling their land for development like Brinkmann Ranch recently did in Frisco. 

Phase 2 at West Park consists of 61 lots with Toll Brothers having 29 and John R Landon homes having the other 32. 

Back to the location. It is literally 5 minutes from George Bush so it is ideal for anyone needing to have easy access to both the North Dallas Tollroad or US 75!

They have added a beautiful playground for the kids and have extra open space there which you never see at other playgrounds for kids. 

The Toll Brothers model home for the Villas is outstanding! Look at that WOW factor when you step into the house. Toll does a great job of showing true luxury throughout the home with their attention to every detail. See below.

BREAKING NEWS: Baxter Brinkmann of Brinkmann Ranch in Frisco FINALLY sells his first tract of land to Landon Development!

Feb23

IMG_2158

It’s confirmed, Baxter Brinkmann of Frisco, who owns over 5,500 acres in Collin County has FINALLY sold his first tract of land to Landon Development at the corner of Eldorado and Coit!

IMG_2151

The land is 182.4479 Acres and has been assessed at $20,705,637 by Collin County as its value in 2014. The purchase price for the land is undisclosed, but I’m pretty sure it’s more than that!

Landon Development began their first development in 2012 with RICHWOODS in Frisco off of Independence and Rolater. They really knocked it out of the Park with Richwoods considering it was the #1 selling development in the nation last year!!!

IMG_2212

RICHWOODS in Frisco is a 500 Acre development that was originally planned for 1,600 homes. That number will rise to around 1,700 homes or more because of a smaller product that was introduced after the development started.

IMG_2157

Now back to Brinkmann Ranch. This piece of land has a lot of history, but most notably, as the site where the first 5 episodes of the famous show “Dallas” were filmed in 1978, until the original house burned down.

Baxter Brinkmann is the CEO of the Brinkmann Corporation, maker of Outdoor Grills, flashlights, many other consumer and industrial products, and the owner of Brinkmann Ranch. The Brinkmann Corporation brings in well over $125 million in annual sales.

On the new land, plans are for the 182.4479 acres to be a GATED COMMUNITY! This will be the 2nd gated community for Landon Development in Frisco.

IMG_2213

On the preliminary plat, plans are for 704 homes and two entrances. One entrance off of Coit and the other off of Eldorado. Sales should begin at the beginning of 2016 or possibly a little later.

IMG_2153

Thank you Baxter Brinkmann for finally allowing the exceptional growth of Frisco to continue with a great location and great visionaries in Landon Development. I’m sure they will make another outstanding development here in Frisco.

The owner closed in 2013, but they did not move in until 2014.  This would make a little more than a year that they lived in the house.  (I would consider any house under 3 Years practically new).

ANNOUNCING John R. Landon EXECUTIVE Series at Richwoods Heights in Frisco!

May5

20140505-212617.jpg

John R. Landon Executive Series could quite possibly be the best value for the money in all of Richwoods! They are currently offering in the Richwoods Heights Section beside Toll Brothers.

20140505-213236.jpg

The Richwoods Heights section is in the Northern West area and will have great access to not only the Rolater entrance but also the Coit Entrance. Richwoods Heights also backs to a 22 acre park with proposed facilities like a basketball court, playground and a baseball field.

20140505-213526.jpg

Currently they only have 7 lots available and have sold 22 in the past month! The typical homesite is 74 foot wide by 120 deep but there are a lot of irregular lots that will be great for deep backyards and curb appeal of the streets.

20140505-213825.jpg

John R. Landon Executive offers 3,000 square feet starting at $476,000 and goes up to 4,788 square feet for $584,000. The reason why I am very big on John R. Landon in Richwoods Heights is when comparing the pricing, standards, lot premiums and lot selection of Toll Brothers, John R Landon Executive wins in all categories.

20140505-214539.jpg

The current incentive is $5,000 for closing costs and $5,000 for upgrades of the buyer chooses Supreme Lending as their lender.

20140505-214656.jpg

Fairways at Craig Ranch by Landon Homes Opens TODAY in the high $200’s!

Apr9

20140409-213818.jpg

Wow! Never thought I would say this but Landon Homes at the Fairways in Craig Ranch with Frisco ISD opened today starting at $299,990!!! I know it is only $10 but with the prices that I have seen on new home communities with Frisco ISD, this is a big deal!

In every new home community it is standard for the builder to start low and after 5 or 10 sales increase prices. Most of the time, it is hard to believe but the builder normally breaks even if not maybe a couple thousand dollars on the first couple homes. And Mr. John Landon is a “moneymaker” with knowledge and experience.

20140409-214503.jpg

So at 299,000 for 2,124 square feet the Sunningdale Floorplan above will be a great fit for a buyer wanting a one story at an unbelievable price for Craig Ranch. The highest Landon will go is at 3,124 with the Aberdeen Floorplan at only $359,990. I’m sure you can add more structural options and the square footage would top out at 3,400 square feet.

My best guess on this community would be that they will sell 7 or 8 this weekend and rIse prices on Monday.

If you are interested in the Fairways at Craig Ranch by Landon or would like to discuss the plat map, incentives etc. text or call Brad Holden today at (469)733-2723.

“And don’t forget to ask Brad about his $6,500 rebate for his clients that purchase a Landon home at The Fairways this month to use for closing costs or additional upgrades!”

Landon Homes at Richwoods Meadows in Frisco introduces INCREDIBLE Spindale 680 Model Plan! Take a Look!

Feb25

20140225-125524.jpg

It’s not everyday you can “oooooh awwwww” me on a Floorplan, but Landon Homes has created another Winner with this new Spindale 680 Model! At first it reminds me of the Chesterfield, but it’s better!

The entry is breathtaking with two story ceilings and a beautiful Juliet balcony coming from the spiral staircase to the Gameroom. To the right is an extra bedroom and bath. To the left a study. Under the bridge opens to the family and the kitchen.

20140225-131841.jpg

The patio is another, WOW! With a two story ceiling and HUGE area for entertaining.

Upstairs is a Gameroom with Media over the kitchen and two bedroom with wide hallways on the other side. There is a 5th bedroom option which ultimately makes this plan complete.

Like the Chesterfield built by Landon, there is almost nothing that can be found as a negative with this plan.

20140225-132225.jpg

Currently, Landon has two Specs of this going up and as you can see above, a very favorable price at $496,000. And this is in Richwoods Meadows where average price per square foot for this home would place this price closer to the $530’s!

If you are looking in Richwoods, this plan is a must to take a look at before deciding. They currently have one framed in Richwoods Corners where I took my first walk through this morning.

For more on the Spindale or to take a look at the framed one, text or call me today at (469)733-2723.
