Last Updated: September 9, 2026
Big news for homebuyers in Flower Mound: Furst Ranch, one of the most anticipated master-planned communities in southern Denton County, has officially opened for home sales. Highland Homes began listing homes on Monday, January 12, 2026, marking a major milestone for this 2,300-acre development at the intersection of Highway 377 and FM 1171.
Since launch, momentum has picked up fast. All nine builders now have active pricing and floor plans published, several have open model homes, and Coventry Homes already has homes that are move-in ready today — not just reservations on paper.
Furst Ranch Home Sales Details: What's Available Now
Here's a snapshot of where things stand across the High Plains neighborhood:
Highland Homes (60' and 70' lots):
- 60-foot lots from the $860s
- 70-foot lots from the $970s
- Home sizes from roughly 2,200 to 4,600+ square feet
- Model homes open on both the 60' and 70' sections, with quick move-in homes available now
- Semi-custom designs blending architectural elegance with family functionality
Coventry Homes (50' lots):
- 8 floor plans priced from $589,990 to $692,990
- Home sizes from 1,977 to 3,225 sq. ft.
- A model home is open, and several homes are already move-in ready or under construction with near-term completion — this is one of the more attainable entry points into Furst Ranch right now
According to Jason Walker, Vice President of Sales at Highland Homes, "We're excited to partner with Starwood Land to bring this upscale community to life in one of the last remaining places to build in Flower Mound. We have a shared vision of an amenity-rich, thoughtfully designed community with homes blending architectural elegance with family-focused functionality."
Understanding the Three Neighborhoods at Furst Ranch
Furst Ranch will ultimately consist of three distinct neighborhoods, each designed to cater to different homebuyer preferences:
1. High Plains (Now Selling, Homes Under Construction)
- 1,100 homes total
- Lot sizes: 50 to 80 feet wide
- First neighborhood to begin construction — and the only one selling today
- Price range: from the mid $500,000s (Coventry Homes, 50-ft lots) to over $1.2 million (Toll Brothers, Tradition Homes, and Partners in Building on larger lots)
2. Prairie Vista (Coming Soon)
- 200 homes planned
- Lot sizes: 0.5 to 1 acre
- Mid-size lots perfect for families wanting more yard space
- Expected pricing: $1 million+
3. Cross Timbers (Future Phase)
- 74 homes planned
- Lot sizes: 1 to 2 acres
- Estate-sized lots for luxury buyers
- Expected pricing: Up to $2.5 million+
Who's Building at Furst Ranch? Your Complete Builder Lineup
Furst Ranch has partnered with nine premier homebuilders. All nine now have published pricing and floor plans, and several have model homes open for touring:
- Highland Homes — Now selling | 60-ft lots from the $860s, 70-ft lots from the $970s | Model homes open on both sections | Quick move-in homes available
- Coventry Homes — Now selling | 50-ft lots | 8 floor plans from $589,990–$692,990 | 1,977–3,225 sq. ft. | Model home open | Several move-in ready and near-completion homes available now
- David Weekley Homes — Now selling | From the $600s | 50-ft lots | Model home open for daily tours
- Ashton Woods — Now selling | From the $600s | 50' & 60' lots
- Drees Custom Homes — Now selling | From the high $800s | 70-ft lots
- Partners in Building — Now selling | 80-ft lots | Priced from $1.2M
- Shaddock Homes — Now selling | From the $700s | 60-ft lots
- Toll Brothers — Now selling | From the low $900s | 70' & 80' lots, two collections ranging roughly 3,089–5,967+ sq. ft.
- Tradition Homes — Now selling | From $1.1M+ | 80-ft lots
Each builder incorporates distinguishing architectural details, ensuring a diverse range of styles while maintaining the community's cohesive "Modern Living on the Prairie with Rustic Charm" vision.
A quick note on addresses: Furst Ranch technically straddles Flower Mound, Bartonville, and Argyle. Depending on the builder and section, your model home visit or new address may show as Bartonville or Argyle rather than Flower Mound — that's normal for this community and doesn't affect school zoning or amenity access.
The $800 Million Deal That Changed Everything
In April 2025, Furst Ranch became part of a significant real estate transaction when Starwood Land acquired 11 master-planned communities from Houston-based developer Hines for approximately $800 million.
What This Means for Buyers:
- Starwood Land is a joint venture between Starwood Capital Group and Land Strategies Management
- The transition brings world-class expertise in residential development
- Jack Furst, owner and original developer, remains personally involved in overseeing the project
- The development vision and quality standards remain unchanged
"This is a high-quality portfolio created by a first-class investment manager and developer, and we plan to build upon the excellent work Hines has completed to-date and bring the development vision for these communities to fruition," said Mike Moser, CEO of Starwood Land.
Amenities: Why Furst Ranch Stands Out
One of the biggest selling points of Furst Ranch is its commitment to world-class amenities and green space preservation:
Parks and Recreation
- 97-acre Central Park - One of the largest community parks in the region
- 20-acre Community Activities Center - Fitness, arts, and social programs
- Multiple smaller neighborhood parks and playgrounds
- Miles of hike-and-bike trails with 6-foot paved paths
- 4-foot sidewalks throughout
- Pavilions overlooking ponds and trailhead gathering spaces
Natural Landscape Preservation
Walker emphasized the developer's commitment: "Adding to the community's appeal is the developer's commitment to the preservation of natural landscapes. This community will truly reflect the North Texas countryside."
The community features rolling open spaces and amenitized residential areas designed to feel both connected and tucked away.
Schools: Argyle ISD - A Major Draw
All Furst Ranch homes will be zoned to Argyle Independent School District, one of the highest-rated school districts in Texas. This is a significant advantage, as many Flower Mound developments feed into Lewisville ISD.
Recent AISD Development at Furst Ranch:
- In December 2024, Argyle ISD purchased approximately 35 acres within Furst Ranch for $9.6 million
- The district has the option to acquire an additional 15 acres (donated by Jack Furst) for a combined 50-acre site
- Plans include a future middle school and elementary school
- Students from Furst Ranch expected to begin enrolling in 2026-2027
- Funding made possible by voter-approved 2022 bond proposal
Because Furst Ranch is zoned to Argyle ISD rather than Lewisville ISD, property tax revenue generated by the development — including its future commercial component — will help fund Argyle schools rather than Flower Mound's typical district.
H-E-B Coming to Furst Ranch
Major grocery chain H-E-B purchased approximately 23 acres on the northeast corner of Highway 377 and FM 1171 from the Furst family in June 2025. As of the most recent reporting, a construction date still hasn't been set, though H-E-B spokesperson Mabrie Jackson confirmed, "We hope to serve Flower Mound in the future."
What This Means:
- 110,000 square feet of retail space with 733 parking spaces (approved by Flower Mound Town Council in May 2025)
- Walkable grocery shopping for Furst Ranch residents
- Additional retail development likely to follow
The Full Build-Out: What to Expect Over Time
Furst Ranch represents a long-term vision for the Flower Mound area:
Current Phase (2026):
- High Plains neighborhood actively under construction
- Multiple builders with open models and move-in ready or near-completion homes
- Infrastructure (roads, sewers, water systems) largely in place to support ongoing home construction
Ultimate Vision: The full 2,300-acre development will include:
- 1,250 acres of single-family homes (approximately 3,000 homes)
- 1,050 acres of mixed-use development
- Up to 5,000 multifamily units
- 1,000 residences for seniors
- 6 to 8 million square feet of commercial space (retail and office)
- Complete build-out timeline: 10 to 12 years for initial phases, with the full project taking decades
Location: Why Furst Ranch's Position Matters
Furst Ranch sits at a strategic location between three desirable communities:
Proximity:
- Adjacent to Flower Mound (west)
- Near Bartonville (south)
- Close to Argyle (north)
- Located at Highway 377 and FM 1171
Access:
- Highway 377 currently carries significant daily traffic through the area
- TxDOT has plans to widen Highway 377 to support substantially more capacity in the coming years
- Easy access to Alliance Texas corridor employment centers
The location represents "the western gateway to the Town of Flower Mound" and sits in the center of the metroplex.
Who Should Consider Furst Ranch?
Based on the development's features, Furst Ranch is ideal for:
- Families prioritizing top-tier education - Argyle ISD zoning is a major draw
- Luxury homebuyers - Starting prices in the mid $500,000s, with Toll Brothers, Tradition Homes, and Partners in Building options from $900,000 to over $2.5 million
- Those seeking new construction - Brand-new homes with modern features and warranties, including some already move-in ready
- Active lifestyle enthusiasts - Extensive trails, parks, and recreational amenities
- Buyers wanting a master-planned community - Cohesive design, HOA management, built-in amenities
- Relocating professionals - Proximity to Alliance Texas corridor and major DFW employers
- Homeowners prioritizing green space - 97-acre central park and natural landscape preservation
Investment Considerations
Several factors make Furst Ranch interesting from an investment perspective:
Pros:
- Limited remaining land for large-scale development in Flower Mound
- Argyle ISD schools consistently rank among the best in Texas
- Major commercial development (including H-E-B) will enhance property values
- Infrastructure improvements (Highway 377 expansion) support growth
- Master-planned community with controlled development standards
- Multiple price points and lot sizes within the same community, now with nine active builders
Considerations:
- Higher price point than surrounding Lewisville ISD areas
- Long-term build-out means years of construction activity
- New community means unproven resale market
- HOA fees haven't been formally published yet; expect rates typical of amenity-rich communities
The Developer: Jack Furst's Legacy Project
Jack Furst, a longtime Denton County resident and former Argyle ISD parent, has been working on this project since 1991. "This is an opportunity — a legacy of Flower Mound and a legacy of my family. It will be spectacular," Furst told media when announcing the development.
The Furst family remains deeply involved despite the partnership with Starwood Land, with Jack Furst personally overseeing the project and working closely with the Town of Flower Mound.

Our Take: Is Furst Ranch Right for You?
As real estate professionals serving the Alliance Texas corridor, here's our honest assessment:
Strong Buy Signals:
- Argyle ISD schools are consistently top-rated
- Limited remaining large-scale development opportunities in southern Denton County
- Starwood Land brings proven expertise in master-planned community development
- Amenity package rivals the best communities in North Texas
- Strategic location between Flower Mound, Argyle, and Bartonville
- All nine builders now active, with real inventory on the ground — these are active home sales, not just plans on paper
Proceed with Caution If:
- You need to move in immediately and want maximum builder/floor plan choice — some sections still have limited quick move-in inventory
- You prefer established communities with completed amenities (the Central Park and Activities Center are still to come)
- You're sensitive to construction activity (will be ongoing for years)
Bottom Line: Furst Ranch represents one of the last opportunities to buy into a large-scale, amenity-rich master-planned community in southern Denton County with Argyle ISD schools. With Coventry Homes offering move-in ready homes from the mid $500,000s and Highland Homes, Toll Brothers, and others covering the upper range, there's a genuinely broad entry point today. The combination of location, schools, and amenities justifies the premium pricing for the right buyer.
