What Does Windmill Ranch Look Like?
Windmill Ranch is a small acreage neighborhood of 14 homesites. Thirteen of the 14 lots are between 5.1 and 6.5 acres and one is about 8.9 acres, so homes sit well apart from one another. The two plats cover about 77 acres in all, including the neighborhood roads.
Windmill Ranch, recorded as document 2012056604, has 3 lots: two of 5.1 acres and one of about 8.9 acres. Windmill Ranch North, recorded as document 2012056143, has 11 lots: one of about 6.5 acres, one of about 6.3 acres and nine of 5.1 acres. Both plats are in the Georgetown 78633 area and are reached from County Road 245 by Windmill Ranch Rd.
The plats show that no lot sits in the 100-year flood hazard area on FEMA map 48491C0275E, and they call for storm-water controls. Parts of some lots are in the Edwards Aquifer contributing zone and recharge zone, and the plats require on-site sewage systems to be designed by a registered engineer or sanitarian. Reviewing the survey and the plat notes for a specific lot is worth doing before you write an offer.
