First-class amenities, beautifully wooded terrain and an ideal location just north of Houston make this enchanting private enclave a perfect choice for buyers who seek the tranquility of gated country living without sacrificing the many benefits of building near a vibrant metropolitan area.
Saddle Creek Forest offers an appealing selection of one- to five-acre homesites in the gently rolling hills of the Magnolia district -- close to The Woodlands and the historic town of Tomball, and only about an hour from downtown Houston.
Leading the list of community amenities is an upscale equestrian center with stables, a riding arena and eight miles of scenic horse trails that wind beneath a canopy of towering oaks and other hardwoods. The development also harbors several small lakes and a natural creek, with private parks and picnic areas and a network of community walking and biking paths.
Despite the overall feeling of tranquility and seclusion, residents will have easy access to a wide range of restaurants and retail outlets in the surrounding area, and to a full spectrum of cultural attractions and entertainment options throughout the Houston metroplex.
