\n

Cimarron Hills is Georgetown’s only gated luxury golf community, built around a Jack Nicklaus Signature course on 1,000 acres of Hill Country terrain west of town. Homes start in the $700,000s and run past $3 million for custom builds on canyon-view lots. The 45,000 sqft clubhouse, resort pool, tennis, and pickleball create a private country club lifestyle. Georgetown ISD schools and a 15-minute drive to I-35 keep it connected while feeling removed.<\/p>\n

Cimarron Hills is the only Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course community in the greater Austin metro, and that distinction drives everything about the neighborhood. With just 350 homesites spread across 1,000 acres, density stays low and lot sizes stay large. Homes currently range from around $700K to well over $3M, putting this firmly in Georgetown’s luxury tier.<\/p>\n

The bundled golf membership model sets Cimarron Hills apart from communities where club dues are optional. Every homeowner pays into the club, which funds the 45,000 square foot clubhouse, course maintenance, and resort-style amenities. That structure keeps the facilities in top condition but adds to the monthly carrying cost. Buyers need to factor membership fees on top of the purchase price.<\/p>\n

Georgetown ISD serves the community, which matters for the small percentage of residents with school-age children. But the real demographic here skews toward empty nesters and retirees relocating from higher-cost markets in California, the Northeast, and other parts of Texas. Many buyers are coming out of $1.5M+ homes elsewhere and see Cimarron Hills as comparable quality at a lower price point.<\/p>\n

The gated entry and west-of-town location mean fewer through-traffic shortcuts and a quieter feel than Georgetown’s newer master-planned subdivisions closer to I-35. That tradeoff is a longer drive to H-E-B and downtown, typically 15 to 20 minutes depending on which entrance you use.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

Homes & Property Types<\/div>\n

Custom estates on canyon-view lots<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Resale homes in Cimarron Hills typically trade between $700K and $1.5M, with canyon-view lots commanding the upper end of that range. Most resales fall in the 2,500 to 4,500 square foot range, three to five bedrooms, built with the heavy stone exteriors and covered outdoor living spaces that define the community’s look.<\/p>\n

Architectural styles lean Tuscan, Mediterranean, and Hill Country. You won’t find vinyl siding or builder-grade facades here. Even the semi-custom homes from the original phases feature real stone, timber accents, and oversized patios designed around the terrain. Homes backing to the canyon or the golf course carry a consistent premium over interior lots.<\/p>\n

Custom builds on remaining final-phase lots start around $1.5M and push past $3M depending on size and site work. These lots give buyers full control over floor plan and finishes, but the community’s architectural review committee keeps standards tight. Expect 4,000 to 6,000 square feet on most new custom projects.<\/p>\n

Inventory stays low. Cimarron Hills has roughly 350 homes at buildout, and turnover is slow. When resales hit the market, well-priced listings in the $800K to $1.1M range move within 30 to 45 days. Buyers waiting for a specific lot position or view corridor should be prepared to monitor listings closely.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

Top Sub-Communities<\/div>\n

Three sections with different price points<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Cimarron Hills breaks into three distinct sections, and the one you choose determines your lot size, view, and price floor.<\/p>\n

The Estates<\/strong> sit on the largest homesites in the community, many backing up to limestone canyon edges with unobstructed Hill Country views. These are the $1M+ properties. Lot sizes here give you real separation from neighbors, and the homes tend to be full custom builds with high-end finishes throughout.<\/p>\n

The Villas<\/strong> offer smaller lots with semi-custom homes in the $700K to $1M range. You still get access to the Nicklaus course, the clubhouse, and every community amenity. The tradeoff is less acreage and fewer canyon-view positions. For buyers who want the Cimarron Hills address without a seven-figure commitment, this is where most resale inventory turns over.<\/p>\n

Custom lots<\/strong> represent the final build phase. These are lot-only purchases starting around $200K, where you bring your own builder and design from scratch. Availability is limited and shrinking. Buyers securing one of these remaining lots lock in their position in a community that won’t expand further once buildout is complete.<\/p>\n

Each section shares the same HOA, golf membership options, and gated entry. The practical difference comes down to how much land you want around your home and whether you’re buying a finished resale or building new.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

Schools<\/div>\n

Georgetown ISD with strong feeder pattern<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Cimarron Hills feeds into Georgetown ISD, which runs 22 campuses and serves roughly 13,500 students across the district. GISD holds TEA-recognized status and consistently ranks among the stronger public school districts in the greater Austin metro.<\/p>\n

The typical feeder pattern for Cimarron Hills routes students through one of GISD’s eastern-corridor elementary campuses, then to Tippit Middle School, and up to Georgetown High School or East View High School depending on the specific lot address. Georgetown High sits closer to the historic downtown square, while East View anchors the eastern side of the district. Both campuses offer UIL athletics, fine arts programs, and dual-credit partnerships with Southwestern University.<\/p>\n

Buyers with school-age children should verify the exact campus assignments for their target lot before making an offer. GISD redraws attendance boundaries periodically as new residential development shifts enrollment, and a home on one side of a street can feed into a different elementary than the home across from it. The district’s enrollment office will confirm current assignments by address.<\/p>\n

Private school families also have options within a short drive. Georgetown has several faith-based K-8 campuses, and Round Rock’s larger private school corridor is about 15 minutes south on I-35. For Military families using the interstate to reach Fort Cavazos, the 45-minute commute keeps GISD as a practical school district choice compared to Killeen ISD options closer to post.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

\n
\n
\n
Location & Commute<\/div>\n

Hill Country quiet, I-35 when you need it<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Cimarron Hills sits on the west side of Georgetown, which means you’re trading a few extra minutes on SH-29 for the kind of quiet that disappears closer to I-35. The drive to Georgetown Square takes about 12 minutes via SH-29, and you can reach the I-35 corridor in roughly 15 minutes heading east.<\/p>\n

Round Rock and the Dell campus clock in around 20 minutes, making this a realistic daily commute for tech workers who want acreage instead of a subdivision. The Domain sits about 30 minutes south, and downtown Austin runs 35 to 40 minutes depending on when you hit I-35 through Round Rock. Morning southbound traffic between SH-45 and Parmer Lane is where you’ll lose time. Leaving before 7:00 a.m. or after 9:00 a.m. makes a noticeable difference.<\/p>\n

The 130 Toll is your relief valve. Dropping south on Ronald Reagan Boulevard to pick up 130 bypasses the worst I-35 congestion and keeps the Austin commute predictable. You’ll pay $4 to $6 each way in tolls, but most residents here consider that a fair trade for skipping stop-and-go traffic through Round Rock.<\/p>\n

For Military families at Fort Cavazos, the drive runs about 50 minutes north on I-35 to Killeen. That’s long for a daily commute, but LRG agents work with buyers who make it work when the tradeoff is a Nicklaus golf community over base-adjacent housing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

Buyer Checklist<\/div>\n

How to buy well in a luxury gated community<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Budget $800 to $1,200 per month for combined HOA and club fees before you fall in love with a lot.<\/strong> Cimarron Hills runs a tiered fee structure. Your base HOA covers roads, common areas, and gate maintenance, but golf and social club memberships are separate line items with their own annual increases. Get the current fee schedule in writing and confirm which tier conveys with a resale purchase.<\/p>\n

Pull the architectural review guidelines early. Cimarron Hills enforces strict design standards on materials, colors, rooflines, and landscaping. If you’re building, request the approved builder list from the HOA. Only a handful of custom builders are authorized to work inside the gates, and their timelines currently run 14 to 18 months from contract to certificate of occupancy.<\/p>\n

Drive SH-29 east to I-35 during Tuesday and Thursday morning rush. Those two days carry the heaviest Georgetown commute traffic, and the Reagan Blvd intersection at SH-29 backs up worse than the rest of the corridor. Time it yourself rather than trusting a mapping app’s average.<\/p>\n

Confirm your exact GISD campus assignments with the district, not the listing agent. Georgetown ISD redraws attendance zones periodically, and a home on the west side of the community may feed into a different elementary than one near the clubhouse.<\/p>\n

Review any right-of-first-refusal or resale-restriction language in the CC&Rs. Some golf course communities reserve the right to match or approve buyers on resale transactions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

\n
\n
\n
The Bottom Line<\/div>\n

Hill Country luxury at a private club standard<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Cimarron Hills is the right fit for a narrow buyer profile, and that’s by design. If you want a gated, golf-centered lifestyle with Hill Country views and you can clear $700K minimum with $800 to $1,200 in monthly dues on top of your mortgage, nothing else in Williamson County competes at this level.<\/p>\n

The value proposition comes down to exclusivity plus location. You get a Jack Nicklaus Signature course, resort-caliber amenities, and canyon terrain without leaving Georgetown ISD’s school boundaries. That combination doesn’t exist anywhere else north of Austin. Buyers who price out of Cimarron Hills typically end up in Horseshoe Bay or Barton Creek, both of which add 30 to 45 minutes of commute time.<\/p>\n

The tradeoffs are real. Entry costs are steep, resale inventory is thin, and the club fees hit every month whether you golf or not. SH-29 into Georgetown proper is your only corridor, and morning traffic toward I-35 stacks up during school months. Buyers who need a quick commute to downtown Austin should budget 50 to 60 minutes each way.<\/p>\n

For Military families stationed at Fort Cavazos, the drive runs about 55 minutes against traffic. BAH at the O-4 and above tier can support a purchase here, but the monthly dues need to factor into your debt-to-income math from day one.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
