The Community

626 acres that is actually a neighborhood.

Most neighborhoods start with a plat map. This one started with 626 acres worth keeping: rolling Hill Country terrain, mature oaks, native grassland, and views that go on for miles. Riata Builders crafts the custom homes here, and the Lioness Home Group, founded by Lisa Copeland, protects your side of every decision. Together they make Latitude 31 feel less like a subdivision and more like a ranch that happens to be a neighborhood.

Community and Amenities

Built for the way families actually live.

The amenities at Latitude 31 are not just for looking at. They are where weekends happen: walks with the kids, sunset on the dock, a game of pickleball, and stargazing after dark. This is family life and legacy, planned into the land itself.

3.3 to 3.5 miles of trails

Walkable, bikeable trails wind through the ranch, with green space and overlooks along the way.

Central pond with boat dock

The pond is the quiet heart of the community: launch a kayak, drop a line, or sit on the dock at golden hour.

Planned pickleball courts

Pickup games, family tournaments, and Sunday morning rally sessions are part of the plan here.

Indoor gathering space

A shared indoor area for community events, neighbor dinners, and rain-day plans that keep everyone connected.

An observatory

The Hill Country night sky deserves a proper view, and Latitude 31 has a place built for stargazing.

Green space throughout

Open land and native vegetation are preserved across the ranch, so the views, the wildlife, and the quiet stay.
