Rancho Lorena Breaks Ground on Phase I

Rancho Lorena Breaks Ground on Phase I

Even though there was no official ground breaking ceremony, Rancho Lorena is well underway. The streets have been rough cut and the rustic rock entrances have already been built. There will be approximately 120+ acreage lots. The lots will be equally divided between two phases. They will range in size from 1.4 to 4 acres, with the majority of them being in the 2 acre range.

Since the completion of the Old Lorena Rd. expansion, this property has probably the best access of any development in the Lorena area.

Rancho Lorena seeks to recapture the Hill Country charm of the Austin and San Antonio areas with a strong influence on rustic architecture utilizing natural materials such as rock, and stained cedar post.

The property is exclusively marketed by Mark Felton of Frontera Development & Keller Williams Realty. Customers can purchase a lot or have their lot wrapped into their construction loan at closing. For inquiries regarding lots, pricing, availability contact Mark P. Felton at 254-495-1241 or go on to the website. http://www.rancholorena.com/
