This weekend, home buyers are invited to the Grand Opening of a new model home in the master planned community in The Woodlands/Conroe area, Harper’s Preserve. This unique gated 1,722-home development is owned by 242, LLC, managed by Sam Yager Properties, Ltd. (SYPL) and is located just one mile east of Interstate 45 on State Highway 242.

Brighton Homes has joined the community’s builder line up and is debuting a new two-story model home during the Harper’s Preserve RoundUp Days event.

Brighton joins Highland Homes, Darling Homes and Plantation Homes in Harper’s Preserve, where there are now five furnished model homes open daily. These models showcase the builder’s latest designs and most sought-after features.

During RoundUp Days event, home buyers can take advantage of special builder incentives, up to $5,000 in custom options when you purchase a new home in Harper’s Preserve between March 3 and 31, 2012. Visitors can also register to win free tickets for two to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. On Saturday and Sunday, March 3 and 4 from noon to 4 pm, you can even stop by for a free BBQ lunch catered by Spring Creek Barbeque.

The best of both worlds, Harper’s Preserve offers a natural, private setting just minutes from Woodlands Waterway and Mall. The development surrounds a 160-acre wetlands and wooded open space preserve. This preservation and open space area is located on Harper’s Horsepen Branch, and provided the inspiration for the development’s name of “Harper’s Preserve”. The project’s landscape design also uses native Texas plants that complement the natural setting.

In addition to a gatehouse, gates and private streets, the community is planned to include a future pool, bowling and bocce ball greens, and horseshoe pits. Preserve Park will contain a meandering lake and a trail. Lookout Hill is a playground that will feature boulders for children to climb on. A cistern at Park Barn will collect rainwater for watering the landscape.

Affordable but exclusive, homes in the first phase of Harpers Preserve will range in price from $190,000 to $300,000. The development of phase one of Harper’s Preserve is comprised of approximately 205 lots with widths ranging from 55’, 65’ and 70’. This new multi-million dollar development is ultimately planned for approximately 1,722 single family homes and 71 acres of commercial, multifamily and other mixed uses.

 “Today’s sophisticated home buyers are looking for high quality housing in locations where everything is near by and convenient,” says  Sam Yager, III, Executive Vice President of Sam Yager Inc., the parent company of Sam Yager Properties, Ltd. “Harper’s Preserve offers this lifestyle in an excellent school district while not sacrificing privacy.”

Harper’s Preserve is in the Conroe Independent School District with Oak Ridge Elementary, York Junior High School and Oak Ridge High School near by. Conroe ISD is constructing a new junior high school just east of Harper’s Preserve and north of State Highway 242.

To visit, from downtown Houston, take I-45 North. Exit Highway 242 and turn right. On 242, avoid the over pass by staying in the right (south) lane for about a mile and turn right at Harper’s Preserve.
