We’ve noticed the sign located on a heavily wooded area in west Allen several times. We recently stopped by and took a few photos of the Cisterna, a working windmill constructed by internationally recognized artist Brad Goldberg.
According to the Montgomery Farm website:
Bordering Montgomery Farm on the west is the prestigious Hamilton Hills community, featuring exclusive estate lots, majestic trees and homes by carefully selected luxury custom builders. The neighborhood also offers contemporary semi-custom homes on lots defined by heritage trees, dynamic vistas and quiet, interior courtyards.
East Hamilton Hills is being developed as a very exclusive, high-end community on the west side of Montgomery Farm. There are only 22 lots available with prices ranging from $200k to $750k.

Gina met with some of the good people at Ashton Woods a couple of weeks ago. As part of the initial develpment of the 32 acres located in west Allen, they are considering being part of the Twin Creeks master planned community.
While the numbers have not been firmed up, we extimate being part of Twin Creeks would add about $600 a year to the Homeowners Association dues. In return, owners would have access to all the Twin Creeks amenities including pools, parks, tennis, walking paths, private lakes, and the softball fields. The golf course has optional user fees but would otherwise be available to residents.
What do you think? Would you pay an extra $600 a year for The Preserve in Allen to be part of Twin Creeks and have access to all the Twin Creeks amenities? Let us know below.

By Tom Branch, on April 19th, 2011 We’ve been following this project ever since the sign went up on the 32 acres in west Allen. We drove by the other day and the developer has started breaking ground!
Most of the large native oak trees had protective rings installed around them so the heavy equipment operators would avoid damaging them. Once the basic layout is completed, they can begin installing utilities and pouring the roads.
We spoke to Ashton Woods and they are on-schedule to start pre-selling in November 2011.
We’ll post updates as more becomes available.

 Photo Copyright 2011 – Imaged2Sell We noted that Ashton Woods launched the project website over the weekend. According to the website:
“Ideally situated in Allen, Texas, the master plan for The Preserve in Allen will feature a large centralized lake with fountain offering homeowners waterfront and water view home sites. Residents will enjoy a meandering hike & bike trail that surrounds the water feature. This enclave of 104 front entry home sites is thoughtfully designed around nature. Large mature trees encompass the development with a detailed landscape plan that includes an additional 300 trees and over 11 acres of open space.”
The website URL is www.thepreserveinallen.com. The website contains little information and will be updated as the project continues. We will post updates here as new information becomes available.
