HOA Dew Committee Standards Building Restrictions and CCRs

The goal of the Walnut Springs Homeowners Association is to ensure a smooth, collaborative process among owners in managing and living at the ranch. Each homestead has a membership in the Association, and the costs of ranch maintenance are shared equally by the owners. The Association is responsible for ownership and maintenance of common and private roads as well as maintenance of the amenities, including the equestrian center, trail system, swimming pools, tennis courts, clubhouse, putting green, barbeque facilities, and the common areas.

All construction and improvements on homesites are reviewed by the Design, Environment, and Wildlife (DEW) Committee of the Homeowners Association to ensure that the standards for Walnut Springs are maintained. The covenant stipulates that:

• Construction is limited to a homeowner selected and ARC approved building envelope on each homestead, with the balance of the homestead included with the open space qualifying for the wildlife management tax exemption.

• Minimum home size is 2,400 square feet. No maximum home size is specified, but all homes must conform to setback limitations, height restrictions and have no more than four structures on the building envelope.

• A minimum of 75% of the exterior surface shall be native or Texas stone. Plaster exterior walls can be used instead of stone. Colors of all exterior surfaces should blend naturally with the native landscape.

Homesteads

The 66 Homesteads at the Preserve at Walnut Springs offer breath taking views with building locations perched atop high elevations, nestled in rolling hills and bordering spring fed creeks. Pricing reflects the distinguishing features and attributes of each homestead, including location, mature trees, water features and view. Owning 5-7 acres within a 2000 acre ranch offers permanent protection for your home in the country.

The Preserve hosts only 66 homesteads, spread throughout 2,030 acres. Each homestead has been carefully sited and is noncontiguous, allowing the highest level of privacy. Ranch owners have access to the 1500 acres of open space that runs through the ranch by trail or road.

Building at Walnut Springs is intended to ensure the quality of the development and the integrity of the ranch as a whole, while providing Owners the flexibility to design and construct a custom home that meets their needs. Each homestead is 5-7 acres in size, within which a one acre building envelope is selected to place all structures. This reduces the impact to ranchland, preserves the continuity of habitat, and ensures that the remaining private land maintains an agricultural exemption.
