"For several months, I searched the hills west and north of Austin for an acreage homesite and community that would compliment my vision for a regional hill country style home," says homebuilder Nick Eastman. "When I discovered Escalera Ranch, I knew immediately that I had found a special and unique neighborhood with the appropriate degree of restrictions that I demand for value protection with my executive level homes. Escalera Ranch is truly one of a kind. This is a great match," continues Eastman. 

Escalera Ranch, an estate lot development in the hills north of Austin, has recently completed its first three sections in sales and is currently developing a spectacular piece of hill country land for its fourth section. The new neighborhhood is covered in oaks and the majority of these estate lots have tranquil and distant views of the surrounding hills. The new section consists of 30 plus acreage sites ranging in size from 2 acres to 8 acres.

"I have a deep respect for the preservation of the land and native vegetation," says Eastman. "I studied and worked for almost a year in the design and elevation of this floor plan. I want to capture a feel and sense of place by using materials and features that create a special warmth and personality. My personal attention and focus on space and proportions ensure that the home flows and feels appropriate," continues Eastman. 
The spec home being built by Eastman Homes has many top of the line and exciting features such as a porte-cochere driveway, extensive natural stone and mesquite wood flooring, professional grade kitchen with complimenting granite counter tops. But the feature that is most popular is the large, covered veranda with outdoor fireplace and grill surrounded by the stately oaks. 

"All our homes are built as if they will be our own. I know that the couple or family that selects this home will enjoy the private outdoor living that the veranda creates. Its such a serene, quite place to unwind and enjoy the beautiful hill country landscape," says Eastman.
