Lone Star Land Partners brings local expertise and National Land Partners’ longstanding leadership in acreage development to a new Hill Country community

GRANITE SHOALS, Texas, Nov. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Room to spread out, opportunities for local businesses and a residential future that respects the Hill Country’s natural beauty are central to plans for Granite Springs Ranch. Lone Star Land Partners, the Marble Falls-based affiliate of national land development leader National Land Partners (NLP), is sharing details about the proposed acreage community and its potential contributions to the Granite Shoals area.

With planned homesites averaging more than two acres, Granite Springs Ranch would offer buyers the opportunity to create a home with personal outdoor space, privacy and room to enjoy the land while becoming part of a welcoming neighborhood. The community would also bring new residential investment, with the potential to broaden the local tax base and generate business for area trades, shops and service providers.

“We understand why residents care deeply about what happens to this land,” said Davy Roberts, National Land Partners’ co-CEO and regional president for the Austin and Houston markets. “Its beauty is part of what makes this area special. We want to listen to those concerns and work toward a community that respects the setting, gives families room to put down roots and contributes to the area’s long-term success.”

Local expertise backed by national land development leadership
Lone Star Land Partners’ local team brings more than 50 years of combined land-development experience to the project, backed by NLP’s national expertise in residential and recreational acreage. NLP’s land-development legacy traces to 1965, when founder Harry S. Patten began acquiring large rural tracts and making smaller parcels available to individual buyers. Roberts also lives in Marble Falls, has worked in land development since 1997 and opened NLP’s Central Texas region in 2011.

NLP’s expertise spans land acquisition, evaluation and infrastructure development. Its process includes research into regional markets and ecological conditions, assessment of surrounding communities, and property surveys before infrastructure improvements. That experience informs Lone Star Land Partners’ approach to Granite Springs Ranch, with attention to the land’s character, suitability for residential use and the surrounding community.

Know the facts about Granite Springs Ranch
Space for a home…and a life outdoors. Planned homesites averaging more than two acres would give buyers room for outdoor living, family gatherings and time to enjoy their own property. The acreage layout is intended to balance breathing room between homes with opportunities to get to know neighbors and build lasting connections.

The opportunity to build when ready. Lone Star Land Partners develops and sells acreage properties. Buyers can choose their own builder and build on their timeline. This allows new property owners to plan a home around their needs and preferences and make it everything they’ve envisioned.

A location connected to the Hill Country. Granite Springs Ranch would provide another option for people seeking acreage in the Granite Shoals area, close to the established communities and recreational opportunities of the Lake LBJ region. For local residents who want more space, it represents an opportunity to consider acreage living within the area they already know.

Planned city water service. The development team is requesting annexation into Granite Shoals and plans to obtain water for future residents through the city’s upgraded water system. Under this plan, private water wells would not be needed in the community.

Value that can extend beyond the neighborhood
As homes are built, Granite Springs Ranch could contribute to the local economy in several ways.

Home construction can create opportunities for area builders, electricians, plumbers, landscapers and material suppliers. Over time, residents’ everyday spending can bring additional customers to nearby restaurants, stores and service businesses.

If annexation is approved, new homes and taxable improvements could also expand Granite Shoals’ property-tax base, providing additional revenue toward community services such as police and fire protection, streets and parks. The contribution would develop as homes are completed and added to the tax roll, with the net fiscal benefit depending on assessed values, tax rates and service costs.

The project also comes amid rising regional rural land prices. Texas A&M University’s Texas Real Estate Research Center reported an 8.63% year-over-year increase in the Austin–Waco–Hill Country region’s price-per-acre measure in the second quarter of 2026.

A residential vision for the land’s future
For Lone Star Land Partners, the vision is a neighborhood where the land’s natural setting remains part of the appeal and new investment contributes to the surrounding area.

“We would like to see this beautiful land become a place where people build homes and lasting connections, rather than another sand-and-gravel operation or rock quarry,” Roberts said. “By listening to residents and working with local leaders, we hope to create something lasting together…a community that respects the land, supports local businesses and helps shape a sustainable future for the area.”
