Welcome to Little River Ranch by Kendall Homes.

If you are searching for new homes in Bay City or the perfect acreage community in Brazoria County and Matagorda County, you might have noticed a recurring problem: true acreage living is hard to find. Most new developments offer standard suburban lots with little room to breathe.

That is, until now.

Kendall Homes is incredibly proud to have partnered with the local Sitz family to bring a truly unique vision to life: Little River Ranch. As the only acreage community in the Bay City area, this exclusive, boutique neighborhood offers a lifestyle that simply cannot be replicated anywhere else on the Texas Gulf Coast.

Here is why Little River Ranch is the most beautiful new home community in Bay City, and why you need to secure your homesite before they are gone.

Nature’s Masterpiece: 100-Year-Old Oaks & The "Little River"

What makes Little River Ranch so special? It’s all in the name.

Running right through the heart of this scenic community is a beautiful, natural creek—the "little river" that gives the neighborhood its identity. This water source feeds some of the most spectacular, 50-to-100-year-old mature oak trees you have ever seen.

When you buy a home here, you aren't moving into a clear-cut pasture. Every single lot—ranging from 1/2 acre to over 1 full acre—is surrounded by these majestic, mature oaks. It provides a level of natural shade, privacy, and character that usually takes decades to establish in a new construction neighborhood.

A True, Close-Knit Community Vibe

With only about 38 exclusive homesites, Little River Ranch is designed to be a true boutique community. You won't get lost in a sea of hundreds of identical houses; instead, you'll experience a genuine, close-knit neighborhood feel.

To amplify that country lifestyle, the community features incredibly rare amenities that you won't find anywhere else:

• The Community Barn: As a homeowner, you have access to a dedicated community barn where you can even raise some chickens! It’s the ultimate nod to rural Texas living.

• Concrete Streets: While almost all acreage communities settle for standard asphalt roads, Little River Ranch invested in premium concrete streets, ensuring long-lasting quality and a cleaner aesthetic.

• Community Water Well: Each home utilizes its own private septic system, while a dedicated community water well provides reliable water to the entire neighborhood. No individual water wells = less homeowner maintenance.

Country Seclusion Meets Ultimate Convenience

You want the peace and quiet of the country, but you don't want to drive 30 minutes just to get groceries. Little River Ranch offers the ultimate strategic location.

Situated just west of Bay City directly off TX-35, you get the rural, wooded feeling you crave while being literally minutes from everything you need:

• 3 Minutes: To Matagorda County Regional Hospital.

• Under 10 Minutes: To the brand-new HEB, Chick-fil-A, Walmart, and the historic charm of Downtown Bay City.

Plus, you get all of this with an incredibly low overall tax rate of just 1.2%, meaning your monthly purchasing power goes significantly further here than in highly taxed other communities.

The Financial Advantage: No PID Taxes

When you are shopping for homes in Bay City, TX, the sticker price of the home is only half the story. The ongoing costs of living in a community are where Little River Ranch truly shines.

Unlike many other communities in the Bay City area that burden homeowners with sky-high PID taxes, Little River Ranch has NO PID tax. Combined with an incredibly low overall tax rate and a very reasonable HOA, your monthly purchasing power goes significantly further here.

The Kendall Homes Experience: Build From the Ground Up

Acreage is our middle name, and it’s what Kendall Homes does best. We are offering an exclusive lineup of acreage-specific floor plans in Little River Ranch, ranging from 1,800 to over 3,000 square feet.

Since opening for construction in the Fall of 2025, the response has been phenomenal. In fact, we have 5 pre-sales before a single home was even finished—a remarkable feat that speaks to the extreme demand for this community. We are thrilled to welcome our very first round of homeowners who are set to close on their beautiful new homes this March 2026!

How Our Build Process Works

Because there are limited lots left in this boutique community, now is the time to build from the ground up. When you build with Kendall Homes, you are in the driver's seat:

1. Pick Your Lot: Walk the neighborhood and select the perfect 1/2-acre to 1+ acre wooded homesite under the oak trees.

2. Pick Your Plan: Choose from our library of floor plans designed specifically to maximize wide-lot living.

3. The Design Center Experience: You aren't forced into a cookie-cutter "package." You will go to our professional Design Center, sit down with our expert design team, and hand-pick everything—from the flooring and countertops to the brick, paint colors, and fixtures. You get to design the home of your dreams.

Need a Home Sooner?

If you don't have the time to build from the ground up, Kendall Homes is also putting a limited number of inventory homes on the ground. These expertly designed homes are currently under construction and are slated to be finished in late Spring and early Summer 2026.

Join Us for Our Grand Opening This Summer!

We cannot wait to show everyone our spectacular new home lineup in Little River Ranch. We are planning a massive Grand Opening event sometime this summer 2026, but with limited homesites available, you shouldn't wait to start the conversation.

If you are looking for the absolute best new home community in Bay City, your search ends here.
