Walker Branch runs through the heart of Homestead 11 — the wet-weather creek this community is named for — and a dense band of forest runs with it. That belt of trees is the most valuable wildlife feature on the homestead: shaded, unfenced where it meets the woods' edge, and the corridor animals use to travel the length of Walker Branch. The tree survey stopped at its edge — the woods are thicker than a count can capture.
The creek splits the homestead into two distinct building sites, and that's the design opportunity here. Both carry substantial buildable ground, joined by a concrete low-water crossing tucked so far into the trees you don't see it until you're on top of it. Two private entrances open onto FM 956 — one an oak-canopied drive, the other a single gate. Heritage oaks stand at the western entrance. The eastern entrance opens into three acres of restored prairie.
The Homesteads at Walker Branch is the only community of its kind in Fayette County, designed and built specifically for wildflowers, native grasses, and wildlife in dense abundance, right outside your front door.
Only 11 homesteads across 88 acres. Good neighbors held to the same standard, the habitat work and its upkeep handled for you, and a community plan that protects what you buy into. Everything you want from a planned community, in a place that still feels like the country.
If the look you want is native grasses and wildflowers, intentionally planted and nurtured, this is it. And it's designed so you see wildlife from your porch — 42 nesting boxes, 11 ground feeders, 6 water stations — all managed year-round by professional habitat specialists, whether you're here or not. In May, our bird listening devices recorded bobwhite quail at Walker Branch — in Texas, the surest sign that native habitat is working again.
Every homestead carries the Certified Texas Prairie designation from the Native Prairies Association of Texas, and the conservation work earns wildlife management property tax valuation, saving you money every year.
