Welcome

After a robust year of new home starts and sales in 2017, this year looks to be more of the same with construction activity even up slightly over the prior year. With 43 homes currently under construction in Cordillera Ranch (41 of which are sold), up slightly from a year ago, the growth throughout the community continues to be strong. 17 of these homes under construction are in the Clubs Village with the balance in the Ranch Community and The Springs. There are another 24 homes in architectural design review right now, indicating that the construction activity will continue. An article in this issue of the magazine features a few prominent designers and architects who share their insights on current design trends, a must read for anyone considering starting their new dream home.

Through the first four months of this year, there have already been nearly half as many homes sold as were sold in all of 2017 so home sales are starting out on a strong pace as well. As a result, the supply of available homes on the market remains tight, with only 25 total homes on the market, of which three are currently under contract. The number of lots closed this year is approximately equal to this time last year; however, there are a large number of lots under contract and projected to close this quarter that would put us ahead of the pace for overall lot sales in 2017. Sales activity in The Springs has been strong in recent months and Garner Homes and Stadler Homes are working on completing their first homes available in Cordillera’s newest addition.

Speaking of The Springs, the new Springs Sports Park is under construction and slated to be complete later this summer. This addition of new sports fields will offer a nice added amenity for all Cordillera Ranch property owners. The new Springs Visitor Center will be open in May for anyone interested in learning more about properties available in The Springs, the two new parks and miles of trails it offers.

Also, if you’ve played golf lately you might have noticed the construction occurring along the left side of hole #3, which are the new Lodges being built by Pasadera Builders. As noted in previous magazine articles, the first phase will include two buildings totaling 10 rooms for current members and property owners, their guests and prospective future residents and members. See the article later in this issue for a little more info on Pasadera Builders and these new accommodations.
Enjoy this issue of Cordillera Ranch Living Magazine!

Cheers,

Agronomy

Challenges. Opportunities. Moving Forward.

Fall has been a busy season for the Agronomy team. This important season kicks off after all the fun of the Ladies’ Ranch Roundup, when we begin our greens aerification process. At the conclusion of this process in October, we have now seen the extraordinary benefit of the deep vertical slicing (Graden device) coupled with the normal aerification of punching holes and backfilling with sand.

Bees and Golf Courses

A long-standing interest of mine has been the benefits of using honey and bee keeping. I have enjoyed honey since I was a child and there are many benefits of having honey in your diet. Honey contains a variety of nutrients, it’s rich in antioxidants and is better for blood sugar levels than regular sugar. Research has shown it to promote heart health, promote burn and wound healing, and help suppress coughing with children.

Ever since I can remember, I’ve been around the game of golf. From watching golf tournaments on TV with my family to going out to the driving range with my dad during my High School years while on the Golf Team, everything I associate with golf has been positive. I decided to attend the University of the Incarnate Word and major in Fashion Merchandising with a concentration in Business. Fusing both my passion for fashion and love for the game of golf, the golf merchandising path was the perfect path for me.
