Meyer Ranch Master Plan
Meyer Ranch by Crown Community Development in New Braunfels, Texas, celebrates the natural beauty of the Hill Country while honoring the region's rich German and Bavarian heritage. The windmill at the entry even comes from the original homestead on this land. Spanning over 730 acres, Meyer Ranch will deliver 1,759 homes, two major recreation hubs, multiple pocket parks, over 3.5 miles of trails, commercial opportunities, and an elementary school upon completion. The community broke ground in 2018 and had its model home and community grand opening in August 2019. Between the range of amenities and home sizes, Meyer Ranch creates a welcoming environment where families at all life stages can embrace the "Live Bigger. Live Brighter." lifestyle.

Chesmar Homes, David Weekley Homes, DRB Homes, and Scott Felder Homes are currently delivering homes at Meyer Ranch. The community offers a variety of lot sizes to fit a range of home types that welcome families at all life stages. Their current offerings include 45-, 50-, 55-, and 60-foot lots, and the next phase will introduce their first 70-foot lots. There is opportunity in the community for condo/garden style product as well. These product types have been thoughtfully integrated throughout Meyer Ranch to create architectural diversity and ensure each lot takes advantage of Hill Country views and greenbelt spaces. In addition, Crown has incorporated open spaces within each section and implemented over 3.5 miles of scenic trails that wind behind homes and throughout the community, giving residents a true connection to nature and the Hill Country lifestyle.

The four-hole putting green with golf cart parking nearby rounds out the amenity center. Though there is not an on-site golf course, Meyer Ranch is a golf-cart friendly community. Many homes offer tandem and 3-car garages, making it easy for residents to store golf carts.

The Community Green is the second major amenity space, anchored by The Hall.

Reinforcing ties to local history through its design, The Hall pays homage to Gruene Hall, the oldest dance hall in Texas. The building features a white board-and-batten exterior with bold black lettering and a metal roof. The amenities at Meyer Ranch are designed to blend historic charm with contemporary trends, echoing the character of New Braunfels and the surrounding Hill Country.

The Hall reveals a dramatic open space with large garage doors on both sides that connect indoor and outdoor spaces. Meyer Ranch hosts a variety of events including holiday favorites like their Easter Egg Hunt, Christmas Parade, and Halloween Movie Night. They also host Wine Nights featuring the local winery across the street and Food Truck Fridays for a fun, casual experience. According to the developer, their most popular events overall are artisan markets and concert nights that highlight local vendors and musicians.

The wrap-around porch offers a comfortable place for neighbors to gather. This community space feels like an extension of the homes with rocking chairs, porch swings, and lawn games.

While The Haus is most popular during hot summers, The Community Green becomes the favorite during cooler months. The large circular fire pit covered by shade sails and string lights creates a cozy ambiance for evening conversations. According to the developer, residents love the event programming that Meyer Ranch hosts at The Community Green.

Like the playground at The Haus, The Community Green’s playground mimics natural materials. Further catering to kids, Meyer Ranch has exciting plans that will benefit families and further strengthen the sense of community. They have partnered with Comal ISD this year on the purchase of property within Meyer Ranch for a potential elementary school site. Crown’s goal is to create a place where residents not only live but thrive, with access to education, amenities, and everyday conveniences right at their doorstep.

Meyer Ranch honors the rich history and cultural heritage of New Braunfels through subtle gestures like German street names and an amenity designed after Gruene Hall as well as grand gestures like the preservation of The Heimer House. The Heimer House Historic Park, recognized as a Comal County historic landmark, preserves the original home of Franz Heimer, the first owner of Meyer Ranch.

This project was a true collaboration with the Heimer family descendants, the Historic Society, the Sophienburg Museum and its archives, as well as Crown’s team of contractors, landscape architects, and engineers. Crown credits partners such as Fazzone Construction, Norris Design, Pape Dawson, and Haddon Cowan Architects for bringing the entire Meyer Ranch community to life.

Crown has partnered with builders such as Chesmar Homes, David Weekley Homes, DRB Homes, and Scott Felder Homes to deliver high quality homes at Meyer Ranch.

The homes feature a blend of stucco, brick, and stone elements, with at least 75% of the first floor showcasing these materials to create an authentic and timeless look. Most home sites range from 45 to 60-foot lots; however, Meyer Ranch will soon deliver their first 70-foot lots and a smaller condo option.
