The Ever-Changing Face of Bulverde

submitted by: Sandy Hancock


Sitterle homes hosted the Bradfield Properties Bulverde office on August 13, 2009, for the first Realtor® introduction to Kinder Ranch, located in the new 1000 acre Denton Communities development, in Bulverde. Denton is taking its Roger’s Ranch concept to the Hill Country. Our realtors® in the Bulverde office know the area well as most of them live as well as work here. Those of us who have been in Bulverde for years remember when no one knew where it was. Over time it has become one of those “destination spots” to move to, now known as Bulverde-Spring Branch. The original neighborhoods, opened in the late 60’s and early 70’s, were developed with acreage lots for sale, requiring a custom home builder. Spec homes have only become readily available in Bulverde in the last decade, and now Sitterle is one of the first to introduce a neighborhood of homes available for sale. Sitterle’s fir
st neighborhood in Kinder Ranch is Prospect Creek. The lots average 65 feet X 130 feet, a change from the typical acreage lots in Bulverde. This offers the home buyer a chance to have the benefits of rural-suburban living and the great schools in the area, without having to commit to that acreage life style. Home prices in this gated neighborhood start at $280,000. The neighborhood will have a 7.5 acre amenities center. Comal ISD has purchased property within Kinder Ranch for an elementary school and middle school. Peppergrass Estates, coming in 2010 will be a section of estate homes in Kinder Ranch. An even bigger change for Bulverde is coming in the fall of 2010 when Sitterle starts building garden homes in the Willis Ranch section. Sitterle is the first to break ground in the neighborhood, with a luxurious model home open, one house already occupied, and one more under construction. In addition, Denton is working with David Weekly and Wilshire Homes as builders in Kinder Ranch. Denton is definitely working to make this a quality planned community of 2700 home sites.
