Fourteen magnificent, new model homes, each decorated with special touches for the holidays, will be open to the public during the Cross Creek Ranch Fall Home Tour Festival, October 5th – 20th. Visitors can pick up holiday decorating ideas for everything from wonderful dining room table settings to eye-catching stair rail arrangements. For three weekends, families can tour each model home in Cross Creek Ranch, just minutes west of the Grand Parkway off FM 1093, where event organizers promise “a festive holiday photo opportunity in every home.” From creative floral and table ornaments to decorated mantles, visitors are certain to come away with a number of quick and easy holiday decorating tips.
The Fall Home Tour Festival, which kicks off several October events in the west Houston community, is open on Saturdays from 10 am – 6 pm and Sundays from noon – 5 pm. “Our design teams are working to create that one special place in every home that will capture the essence of the holidays,” said Cross Creek Ranch General Manager Rob Bamford.
Along with the Fall Home Tour Festival, Cross Creek Ranch will host the Art of Living Festival featuring more than 30 art vendors and food booths on Saturday, October 12th from 10 am – 4 pm. The community will also host the 3rd Annual Oktoberfest Triathlon on Sunday, October 13th followed by the 4th Annual Fulshear Scarecrow Festival on Saturday, October 19th, where families can enjoy kid-friendly games, pumpkin decorating, live music and a stroll through a collection of full-size scarecrows.
These and other events along with popular amenities and a convenient location have helped the 3,200-acre master-planned community in Fulshear consistently rank as one of the nation’s top sellers. Cross Creek Ranch offers homes from the $200s from award-winning builders presented in the Houston area’s largest model home collection with spacious, fully furnished homes by Highland Homes, Darling Homes, Lennar Homes, Newmark Homes, Perry Homes, Trendmaker Homes and Village Builders. Its gated, custom-home neighborhood, The Lakes at Cross Creek Ranch, offers homes from the $650s to $1 million with lake views from custom homebuilders Avanti Custom Homes, Huntington Homes, Partners in Building and Taylor Morrison Homes. A project of The Johnson Development Corp., Cross Creek Ranch’s approach to “sustainable” living has led to the planting of more than 30,000 trees since 2006. Close to half of its 1,000 homes are adjacent to native landscape, designated trails and parks. For more information, visit www.crosscreektexas.com.
