Spring Creek Ranch – The Retreat

Welcome to The Retreat at Spring Creek Ranch.

The Retreat was carefully chosen and thoughtfully organized to preserve the natural beauty of the land surrounding a magnificent valley, full of mature hardwood trees.  This scenic and secluded spot is truly the “filet” of this historic old cattle ranch.

The Retreat consists of 28 home sites overlooking the large grove.  This enclave is located in the heart of the prestigious private and gated area.  This is the only area in Spring Creek Ranch to feature washed gravel curbs and gutters.  Eliminating the rural roadside swales allows the custom homes to be nestled along the private streets.

The Retreat lots (90’ x 140’ Typ.) are the smallest lots offered inside our gated area.  This tranquil enclave along Black Cap Loop feels like “the gated area” inside the gated area.  Smaller front yards and elevated porches provide neighborly connectivity and allow for “big living” private backyards.  The community lawn provides a scenic place to gather or play with the kids or grandkids.

Therefore, if you’re looking for the best place to retire, the perfect location to raise your family, or just want to be part of this dynamic gated community without the hassle of maintaining one of the larger lots, The Retreat is “the” place for you.

We invite you to experience what it’s like to live in our close-knit community and enjoy a pleasant stroll along quiet, tree lined streets.  The Retreat represents the best of both worlds: custom designed homes surrounded by natural beauty and ultimate convenience.
