Custom-home acreage available at King Oaks

-

The impressive gains seen in the Houston real estate market have had an effect on outlying areas. Many homeowners are looking to communitie­s such as King Oaks in Bryan-College Station.

“King Oaks has always drawn from the Houston area, with buyers seeking a tranquil setting in which to raise their kids or retirees looking for a place to enjoy their post-work life,” said Chris Boyd, King Oaks land consultant. “In the past few years we have seen a big uptick in buyers who are looking to convert the equity in their Houston home into a custom residence here. Over 40 percent of our buyers come from the area.”

King Oaks features stunning 1- to 3-acre homesites with towering trees that Houston residents love.

The country-like setting away from traffic congestion and noise is often touted as one of the main reasons people move to King Oaks.

Buyers also count the wide array of available land options for their custom home, including newly released wooded proper- ties in private cul-de-sac settings as well as coveted waterfront homesites.

These private pond sites provide owners the ability to fish in their own backyard and, due to the popularity, only two waterfront homesites remain in the community.

King Oaks owners love the outdoor-centered amenities including a 60-acre nature preserve with trails, a stocked fishing pond and park with outdoor pavilion, and a community pool and summer kitchen.

Neighborho­od events are held throughout the year and contribute to the close, community spirit of King Oaks residents.

Located off Texas 30 outside city limits, King Oaks is accessible to the William D. Fitch Parkway and convenient to the activities and events at Texas A&M University, the new Scott & White Hospital, and Post Oak Mall. Additional details
