    Somebody Should Own This by Now.

    Don’t be sorry you missed it.

    If you’re interested in Flower Mound or are an agent working with people looking there, you’ve probably seen this listing already.

    4.38 acres on Hawk Road, room for a horse inside the city. That combination doesn’t come up often out here.

    The price just dropped to $1,225,000, down from $1,245,000, and further down from where it opened back in January. Not a fire sale, just a seller adjusting to a market that hasn’t moved as fast as everyone assumed it would.

    The size is more unique than people give it credit for. Smaller tracts don’t qualify for a horse under Flower Mound’s rules. Bigger tracts jump into a different price bracket and a different kind of buyer. This one sits in the gap between those two, and there isn’t much else sitting there with it.

    There’s a 2005 mobile home on the property, valued at zero. Three bedroom, two bath, 1,512 square feet, sellers live there now. May work as a caretaker setup, or a place to live while a buyer plans something bigger. Flower Mound may have something to say about that (they do about most things), so check with them. There’s a chicken coop too. Not a selling point for everyone, but it tells you something about how the place has actually been lived on.

    It backs up to the future Eden Ranch subdivision without being part of it. No HOA. No committee approving your paint color. Denton ISD schools, Adkins, Harpool, Guyer.

    Seller to keep the minerals and they will need a short leaseback.

    In MLS as both land (#21161389) and residential (#21144467), pictures and aerial are below, also a flyer is linked below.

    Showings are by confirmed appointment only. The land can be shown most any time, but the sellers still live on the property so advance notice is required. The home won’t be shown initially since the value is primarily in the land, but it can be made available later if needed.

  • Maybe You Don’t Want Their House.

    Maybe You Don’t Want Their House.

    Maybe you want your own.

    If you’ve been looking in Bridges at Preston Crossing, you already know what’s happening.

    There are new lots coming.

    But most of those are tied up with production builders.

    That works for some buyers.

    Other buyers want more control than that.

    They want to choose the builder.
    Control the design.
    Build on their own timeline.
    Not pick from three floorplans and a design center menu.

    That narrows the field pretty quickly now.

    1148 Stonebridge Pass just dropped to $195,000.

    At that number, it’s probably the best value currently available in the subdivision if your goal is still to build custom.

    Golf course lot backing near the 7th tee.

    .35 acres.

    Bring your own builder.

    No required timeline to start construction.

    Both neighboring lots are already built, so you’re not sitting there wondering what eventually gets dropped beside you.

    That matters more than people think.

    Especially in subdivisions transitioning away from purely custom product.

    This is one of the few remaining spots where you still control the process.

    You either care about that or you don’t.

    If you do, this one deserves another look.

    Photos, aerials, and property details are below.

  • Turn This Lot on Hawk to a Porch Sitting Thing

    Turn This Lot on Hawk to a Porch Sitting Thing

    Sorry, couldn’t pass it up.

    Some properties make you sort through a lot of noise before you understand what they are.

    This one doesn’t.

    It’s a little over four acres in Flower Mound. No HOA, no build timeline, and no real pressure to do anything with it right away.

    That’s most of the story.

    I’ve noticed over time that a lot of buyers say they want space, but what they usually mean is a slightly bigger lot in a neighborhood.

    This is different.

    You’re not really in a neighborhood in the way most people use that word. You’ve got room, and more importantly, you’ve got separation. That’s the part people don’t always realize they’re looking for until they see it.

    At the current price, it’s not set up as a builder deal. It doesn’t really need to be.

    This is for someone who already knows what they want to build and doesn’t want to be told how or when to do it.

    There’s a mobile home on the property. It’s livable, which gives you options. You can stay there while you plan, or use it while something else gets built.

    There’s also a chicken coop out back. Not a selling point for everyone, but it tells you how the place has been used.

    The value is still in the land. That part doesn’t change.

    Flower Mound doesn’t have many of these left. Most of what’s left gets turned into something more structured, more controlled.

    This one didn’t.

    That tends to appeal to a pretty specific buyer. Usually they know who they are.

    Pictures are below (soon to be updated when everything is green again.

    P.S. Most landowners aren’t planning to sell today.

    But that can change quicker than people expect. When it does, the ones who already understand their market tend to make better decisions.

    That’s what the MBR Land Reality Check is for. It looks at nearby sales, current listings, development pressure, and the things that actually move value.

    You don’t have to do anything with the info, and it can only help you.

    Is it a bad idea to know where things stand?
