7 Lakes Ranch
- Fellowship for Intentional Community
Mission: 7 Lakes Ranch strives to bring back trust in our neighbors and our community, allowing our children to grow up in a spiritual and agricultural based community where our neighbors are friends and we all strive to better each other. A modern day Mayberry, if you will.
From www.ic.org/directory/7-lakes-ranch/:
Owners will discover 7 Lakes Ranch, a self sustainable, agricultural based ranch community, on approximately 600 acres of refined Texas Hill Country landscape, as a place to call their own in Harper, Texas. It will be recognized as a place where modern day homesteaders share a common interest in their neighbors and strive to build a truly sustainable, intentional community. Each land owner will be deeded their own lot (2-10 acres) upon purchase and this grants them a shared ownership interest in the entire ranch and the multifaceted cooperative corporation as well. Amenities will be similar to those found in other ranch communities such as common areas like parks, the grand lodge (with included day spa and fitness center), swimming pool, rod and gun club, equestrian club, expedition club and eventually a functioning "Old West" themed town with various shops found along the streets to buy sell and trade with the other neighbors in the community and with outside visitors. The targeted demographics will be those interested in building a working self sustaining organic homestead with individual vegetable gardens, edible and native Texas landscapes, a milk cow or goat(s) if you desire, combined with common fields for grains and other large crops, fruit and nut orchards, etc. ... An organic grass-fed community cattle and bison operation will be established for fresh meat, along with limited hunting on the ranch.Restrictions on building types will developed to maintain property values as well as outline the various
redundant systems to be installed to maintain operability in all scenerios. To ease grid dependency, homes will utilize solar and wind technologies, back up generators, dual electric/gas appliances, rain water harvesting, grey water recycling and most homes will be built using 80-90% reclaimed materials. Residents will find their dreams are as grand as the Texas sky and adventures abound in every season. Memories will be created to last a lifetime at Texas’ most exclusive luxury ranch community. Texas Outdoor Pursuits is in the business of developing and operating the 7 Lakes Ranch, a rustic but elegant and luxurious venue dedicated to sustainable living, tourism, vacations, business hospitality, farming and livestock production. A world away from the majority of ranch communities in Texas, 7 Lakes Ranch will be a new concept in sustainable living communities while striking a perfect balance between active outdoor recreation, economic sustainability, environmental stewardship, philanthropy and the rigorous preservation of the Western way of life. With a substantial expanse of land, the Texas ranch is committed to harmoniously balancing the needs of the residents, guests, wildlife, livestock, the land and watershed through an ongoing land, river, pond and rangeland restoration management plan.
