7/13/2008 Edit note: I received an email from a Hunters Crossing resident and she asked that I share this information. "Deb I noticed you have info on Hunters Crossing that is not correct. The swimming pool is the only thing that is private for the residents and we pay 250.00 per year. All of the grounds, parks, play areas walking paths etc are public. We also have a PID that costs each owner a bundle every year $250. this year but will climb to $600. in the future, so hopefully you will disclose this stuff to any buyer. Unfortunately when we bought we were never told about any of this stuff. It was a shock to find out after the sale. Carolyn

Carolyn - Thanks for sharing this info. It is a very important point to share with other potential Buyers. . Normally in a real estate transaction where there are mandatory home owners associations dues involved, an addendum specifically addressing the HOA is used along with the purchase contract which allows the Buyer to review the HOA materials during the contractual period. Also, coventants, conditions and restrictions are covered in the preliminary title commitment under Schedule B items and should be reviewed in detail. The PID charges must have been an unwelcome suprise, and you are right it should have been disclosed, or your Buyers Agent should have helped you discover it during your due diligence! I am so sorry this happened to you! Thanks for contacting me. Deb

If you would like more information on this development and available properties please call me.

Be specific.....ask for "Deb"

The other day I posted pictures of camels on a ranch in Caldwell County just off of 304 near the Gonzales County line. Well I was back in the area showing one of my gentleman's ranch listings and thought it would be fun to share with you the entry to the ranch. I love the statue of the Bison at the gate, but even more I love the adornments on the brick wall that look like some kind of antelope. The entry is very impressive, like many ranch gates are in Texas. Unfortunately for us animal lovers I do not think that this ranch which has a multitude of exotic animals is open to the public. But sure fun to look at as you drive by. If you are headed to Bastrop or to Houston on 304 keep your eyes peeled and see what kind of animals you can see!
