Fairmont Model Tour

The Fairmont plan is one of the newer, versatile layouts available among new construction homes in Spiritas Ranch Little Elm, TX. It balances a smart footprint with open communal spaces and thoughtful bedroom placement. The plan offers a downstairs bedroom and bath that is great for guests or family members who prefer single-level living, plus upstairs rooms and a loft for flexibility.

Upstairs includes a game room and loft that work as a second living area or homework zone. Secondary bedrooms are sized to be useful without wasting square footage, and there’s an option to convert part of the upstairs into an additional bedroom with its own full bath.

Downstairs the kitchen opens into a cathedral-ceilinged family room with a geometric fireplace and high windows—those touches that make a plan feel larger. The Fairmont includes a butler’s pantry and a proper walk-in pantry, which are details many buyers appreciate when considering new construction homes in Spiritas Ranch Little Elm, TX.

On the lot shown, the back yard stretches deep into a treeline that frames the lake beyond. Many of the lake lots run all the way down to that treeline and can be selectively thinned by the builder for a fee, which gives the home a private, wooded feel without sacrificing access to the water.

Grapevine II Model Tour

The Grapevine II is a larger two-story option among these new construction homes in Spiritas Ranch Little Elm, TX. It clocks in around 2,900 square feet with four bedrooms and four baths, a spiral staircase, and a media room. The plan emphasizes open spaces and flexibility for growing families who want dedicated zones for media, play, and entertaining.

The downstairs bedroom off the main living area is perfect for guests or multi-generational living. A laundry room near the garage entrance, smart secondary baths without tubs, and sizable pantries show how the plans prioritize everyday efficiency. Cathedral ceilings and a big covered patio make indoor-outdoor living feel seamless on many lots here.

On the exterior, these lots often run deep—150 feet from the rear fence to the treeline is common—and some are true lakefront parcels. Public boat ramps are nearby, so even if you cannot build a private ramp you still have convenient access to Lake Lewisville.

Inventory Tour 1

There are inventory homes already under construction and some move-in ready. The value of buying inventory is clear: you can lock a price, capture incentives, and potentially close within weeks if a home is nearly complete. One inventory Grapevine II shown could be ready to close by the holidays depending on contract timing and final punch-list items.

Example listing details: 4 bed, 4 bath, 2,936 square feet. The house is listed around $689,900 as-is, reflecting the lot, location, and several interior upgrades. The neighborhood’s advertised incentives include options like $3,000 in incentives or a 4.99% interest rate program on inventory that closes within a promotional window.

Inventory Tour 2

Another inventory home highlights the largest floor plan available: a 3,503-square-foot layout with 4 beds and 4.5 baths. High transom windows, a sweeping living space, a white trend-forward kitchen, and an extended covered patio back up to a lake line lot on this plan. The openness of the main level plus a massive upstairs media room are selling points for families who entertain and stream sports or movies together.

This larger home was listed around $714,000 as an inventory option. Building the same plan on an available lot from scratch would have a lower base price—around $621,900—before lot premiums and upgrades are added. That price difference illustrates one of the tradeoffs buyers must consider between buying inventory and building new.

The Fairmont plan also shows up as inventory in the neighborhood, sometimes on corner lots rather than lakefront. These options are typically listed in the low $500,000s as they near completion, while base pricing to build that plan from a lot in the community sits around $461,000 before lot charge and elevation differences.

For buyers watching budgets, there are smaller three-bedroom single-story floor plans with base prices under $400,000. The smallest base plan is around 1,500 square feet with a base price near $382,000, and typical completed homes of that size might end up in the low $400,000s depending on selections.

Community Details, Schools, HOA, and Taxes

Location: Spiritas Ranch sits on the edge of Lake Lewisville along 380, in the Aubrey / Little Elm growth corridor. The community is tied into the larger Spiritus development and will include a new elementary that’s slated to open in fall 2025.

School district: Currently Brazwell ISD schools are indicated for the area, with adjustments as new campuses open.

HOA: Approximately $900 per year, which includes access to the main community amenity center, trails, pocket parks, and shared green spaces.

Taxes: The current tax rate is listed around 2.13% plus a Public Improvement District (PID). New community financing structures like PIDs and MUDs are common in growth areas; they reduce initial development burden but add recurring costs buyers should factor into monthly housing expense calculations.

Lot Types, Premiums, and Tips for Lake Lots

Lots come in several widths (40-foot, 50-foot, etc.) and placement relative to the lake determines whether a premium applies. Many of the smaller, deeper lots that back to the treeline are lake-adjacent without an extreme premium. The large end-of-court lake lots, especially those approaching an acre or with unobstructed lake frontage, carry the highest premiums.

Negotiation is possible. Builders often list steep premiums early in the release cycle and then adjust based on market response. Working with a buyer’s agent familiar with the builder can help secure better lot pricing or incentives on inventory.

Pricing Snapshot and Buying Timeline

Base price ranges for new construction homes in Spiritas Ranch Little Elm, TX vary widely by plan and lot:

  • Small one-story plans: base pricing around $382,000
  • Mid-range two-story plans: base pricing around $482,000
  • Large signature plans: base pricing up to $621,900 and higher

Inventory examples shown included listings around $689,900 and $714,000 depending on lot and upgrades. Those inventory prices reflect the builder’s cost, lot premium, and interior package choices. If you want a move-in-ready home by year-end, builders often set an internal cutoff for finalizing contracts to close by December 30. For recent cycles that deadline was mid-December.

Practical Advice for Buyers

Decide whether you value speed or customization. Inventory homes let you move faster and capture temporary incentives, while building lets you pick finishes and avoid a resale premium on upgraded inventory.

Ask about the following when comparing options:

  • Exact lot lines and tree removal policy
  • Which lots carry a premium and how negotiable that premium is
  • Timeline for the PID and how it is assessed
  • Available builder incentives and whether they apply to lot premiums
  • Options to enclose media rooms or add third-floor features

Final Thoughts

New construction homes in Spiritas Ranch Little Elm, TX offer a compelling combination of lake adjacency, modern plans, and a range of pricing to match different budgets. From courtyard homes under $400,000 to 3,500-square-foot signature plans that sit on premium lake lots, the development is designed to fit families wanting quick move-ins and those who want to build a forever home.

When weighing options, balance lot location, base price, and how much you want to spend on finishes. The community is positioned in a fast-growing corridor, so consider commute impacts and future commercial development when choosing a lot.

Base prices start around $382,000 for smaller one-story plans, run through mid-range plans around $482,000, and top out near $621,900 for the largest signature plans before lot premiums and upgrades.

Are there true lakefront lots available?

Yes. There are lake-adjacent and lakefront lots that back up to the tree line and Lake Lewisville. Some have steep premiums, particularly the larger end-of-cul-de-sac parcels, but several lake-adjacent lots come with little or no premium.

What incentives or programs are currently offered?

How does buying inventory compare to building new here?

Buying inventory gets you a faster move-in and possibly special incentives.

What are typical HOA and tax considerations?

HOA is approximately $900 per year, covering access to community amenities. The tax rate is around 2.13% plus a PID, which should be included in your long-term affordability calculation.
