Republic Grand Ranch Frequently Asked Questions

Find the answers to our customers’ most frequently asked questions below.

Where is Republic Grand Ranch located?

Republic Grand Ranch is located in the Willis area, about five to six minutes off I-45 on the east side of FM 1097.

How far away are modern amenities?

We’re just a short drive from a brand-new HEB, shopping, and restaurants, with easy access to I-45 for convenient travel. Just north of The Woodlands, you’ll find some of the best hospitals in Houston, along with world-class dining, shopping, and a thriving business hub. Downtown Conroe is also closeby, offering even more local charm and amenities.

What is there to do nearby?

Lake Conroe is just a short drive away, offering peaceful kayaking and fishing on the north end, while the southern side is perfect for boating and jet skiing.

Outdoor enthusiasts will love being surrounded by National Forests, featuring over 1,200 miles of interconnected trails for dirt biking, hiking, and horseback riding. Plus, with State Parks right down the road, camping couldn’t be more convenient. People travel for hours to experience what we have right here in our backyard.

What are the amenities at Republic Grand Ranch?
A beautiful 37-acre park welcomes you at the entrance of the community, complete with a 7-acre fishing lake, hiking trails, a fitness trail, and pavilions for gathering. The lake is stocked with bass and includes three fishing docks for easy access. Beyond the park, we’ve woven hiking trails throughout the community and added several pocket parks within different sections, creating plenty of opportunities to explore and enjoy the outdoors.
Why is the land so affordable?
It comes down to a few key things. First, we’re very strategic about how we acquire property. We buy large tracts of land at scale, and we do it in areas that are just outside the major cities, but still in the path of growth. This allows us to get the land at a great price and ride the wave of appreciation in some of the fastest growing paths of progress in the state.

Secondly, we pass those savings on to you by selling large acreage homesites in the pre-development stage. Essentially, you’re buying before the roads are paved, the utilities are in, and all the infrastructure is complete. This is what makes the land so accessible price-wise.

And that pre-development stage is actually a huge plus for you, too. Because you’re getting in early at the ground floor level, you have the potential to see the value of your property increase significantly as the area develops and those amenities are added. It’s all about getting ahead of the curve and benefiting from that future growth.

Is there a price per acre?
Pricing is established by the homesite, not by the acre. Prices start at $79,900 and go up from there depending on the terrain, location, and size of the property. For those needing a bigger homesite, multiple lots can be purchased next to each other. We often have buying incentives for larger homesites.
Is there a time limit to build at Republic Grand Ranch?

There’s no time limit to build. This gives you plenty of time to make the right decision on which builder to choose and pick the perfect plan. There’s no stress with meeting a time constraint out here.

Can I choose my own Builder?
Building your dream home should be an exciting journey, not a stressful one. That’s why we’ve partnered with top custom home builders known for their quality craftsmanship, competitive pricing, and exceptional customer service. With years of experience working alongside these trusted professionals, we’ve carefully selected builders who meet our high standards – ensuring a smooth process, protecting your investment, and upholding the lasting value of our community.
How does financing work?
We work closely with several banks that offer a variety of lending options tailored to our communities, including lenders with 10%, 15%, and 20% down programs. Each provides unique financing solutions to fit your needs, whether you’re local, out of state, or even purchasing from abroad. This flexibility makes the process seamless for all buyers. Plus, we offer special incentives for those traveling from out of state to secure their future homesite.
Is there an HOA?

There is a POA (Property Owners Association) of $495 a year, which is in place to protect the community and land value. This covers general upkeep of common areas to keep the community looking pristine.

What are the protective covenants?
At Republic Grand Ranch, we maintain a minimum building size of 2,000 square feet, ensuring spacious and comfortable homes. We also offer an exclusive, elevated building enclave featuring larger homes with square footage minimums ranging from 3,500 to 4,000 square feet. Our thoughtfully crafted protective covenants provide the flexibility you need to design your dream home while simultaneously safeguarding your investment and preserving the community’s beautiful aesthetic for years to come.
What are the utilities?

Utilities include central water, underground electricity, and high-speed fiber optic internet. The community has a well water system that offers fresh water with fewer contaminants than city water.

Are farm animals allowed?

You can have one horse or one laying hen per acre. Domestic animals are allowed as well.

What school districts are close by?

Republic Grand Ranch is in the Willis Independent School District.

Can I see what lots are available online?
Our properties at Republic Grand Ranch are in high demand and often sell quickly. Generally, once we open a new phase, they sell out in a matter of weeks. Because of this rapid sales pace, our online inventory may not always reflect the most current availability. To learn about the properties we currently have available, we encourage you to give us a call at (833) 208-8953. We’d be happy to discuss your needs and show you what we have to offer.
If I can't travel right now, can I still buy land?

We offer virtual tours to those who can’t travel to the property. We’ll walk down the lot lines, and see the terrain, types of trees, and the location. And if it’s something that you want to purchase, then you just need 10% down and we’ll get the paperwork started, which can be done electronically.

Who is buying land at Republic Grand Ranch?
We have a truly diverse community here at Republic Grand Ranch, welcoming families of all shapes and sizes, from those just starting out with young children to those enjoying or preparing for retirement. It’s a wonderful mix of people from all walks of life.

Ultimately, what draws everyone here is the desire for a more peaceful and spacious lifestyle. People are looking for that quiet retreat they can call home, with plenty of room to spread out and enjoy their privacy, far from the hustle and bustle of more densely populated areas.

How much are taxes?
One of the advantages of living at Republic Grand Ranch is the low tax burden. The annual HOA fee is just $495, and property taxes are typically under 2%. In today’s world, it’s easy to get caught up in financial details.
