Redefining Space: Why "The Manors" is the New Standard for Acreage Communities in Houston
- Mar 31
- 4 min read
Welcome to The Manors by High Meadow Development & Kendall Homes.
If you’ve been hunting for the best new home communities with acreage north of Houston, you’ve likely come across Oakwood Ranch. For years, this boutique neighborhood has been one of our most highly sought-after projects. Today, Oakwood Ranch is nearing its final build-out, with only about five homes left for sale.
But as one door closes, a much larger, more expansive door opens.
To replace Oakwood Ranch, Kendall Homes set its sights on something extraordinary. We partnered with High Meadow Development to bring our buyers into a community that doesn't just match our previous neighborhoods—it elevates the entire concept of country living.
Welcome to The Manors in New Waverly.
A Different Kind of Acreage Community
The Manors is not just another subdivision. Located just north of The Woodlands off FM-150, this peaceful community opened its doors in November 2025 and is already changing the landscape of acreage communities in New Waverly.
Surrounded by the natural beauty of the Sam Houston National Forest, The Manors gives homebuyers the rare opportunity to own land in a scenic, small-town setting while maintaining effortless access to Willis, Huntsville, Conroe, The Woodlands, and Houston.
Here is what makes The Manors the absolute best in the game:
The Largest Lots Around: While many "acreage" communities cap out at a single acre, The Manors offers sprawling 1 to 3-acre homesites. This is the ultimate freedom to build the lifestyle you’ve been looking for.
City-Level Utilities in the Country: If you know acreage living, you know that utilities can be a headache. Most rural communities rely strictly on propane and force you to pay out of pocket to drill your own private water well. The Manors features underground natural gas and a community water well, bringing incredible, city-level convenience (and massive savings) right to your country estate.
A True Turn-Key Building Process: In most large-lot communities, you are forced to buy the raw dirt and figure out the rest on your own. You have to secure a complicated construction loan in your name, figure out the permitting process, hunt down a reliable builder, and carry all the risk during the build. The Manors is structured entirely for your convenience. Kendall Homes buys the lot, carries the construction loan, and handles the entire build process, everything from start to finish, even helping you find the right mortgage with our lending team. All you have to do is go to our Design Center, pick out your dream finishes, and purchase the finished home at closing. It’s a seamless, stress-free path from raw land to your forever home.

Sneak Peek: "The Throckmorton" Model Home
Seeing is believing, and this summer, we are proving exactly what Kendall Homes is capable of.
Debuting at the beginning of Summer 2026, our brand-new model home—The Throckmorton—is a masterpiece of single-story acreage design.
Boasting 3,510 square feet of interior living space, 552 square feet of exterior living space (Front and Rear Covered Porch), and a 3 car garage this home is built to drop jaws. It features over 4 bedrooms, a dedicated private office, and massive soaring ceilings with windows that flood the home with natural light. Add in the expansive covered front and back porches and a three-car side-load garage, and you have a home that truly commands its 1-3 acre lot.
You simply have to walk this house in person to understand the scale and luxury. It is unlike anything else currently on the market.
