With a proposed purchase price of $1.575 million, City Council on Nov. 14 awarded a contract to development firm Legacy DCS. According to the accepted proposal, the firm creates master planned communities throughout the state, including homes in Westside Landing and Serene Hills in Lakeway.
The original round of proposals submitted were all rejected in February and the process was begun anew. It stipulated that all new proposals be for residential development only. Legacy DCS applied during the first round of proposals, as well. Of the 11 original proposals being considered, only Legacy DCS and Kendell Development, Inc. submitted residential proposals.
Legacy DCS plans to build five “handcrafted” single and two-story homes averaging 4,000 square feet.
In the proposed design the firm’s landscape architect Chris Moore positioned the homes strategically around Live Oak and Cedar trees to maximize natural privacy for residents. A bird sanctuary under a large oak tree toward the rear of the property is also planned.
The solar energy-based homes will be priced from $1.49 million to $1.69 million and include full landscape service year round, the proposal states.
“We anticipate this neighborhood to attract a local empty-nester in or around the Westlake area who is seeking a low-maintenance, lock and leave property,” it stated.
The firm provided a tentative schedule, click below to enlarge.
The property has commercial developments along its southern border and residential homes to the north, west and across the street to the east.
