Luxury living with room to roam awaits at new community

Want to be semi-close to Houston’s hustle and bustle yet still enjoy your space? Just head north of the Loop to Hockley, where the new luxury gated community of Stallion Lakes is starting to take shape.

Lots are now being sold — in sizes ranging from 1.5-3.5 acres — that future residents can base their new dream home on.

You’ll have your choice of five builders — Jeff Paul Homes, Kickerillo Companies, Matt Powers Custom Homes, Morning Star Builders, and William David Homes — to create your new custom home, in a community which will feature private concrete streets, natural gas, and fiber optic cable.

Residents will also enjoy a low tax rate and the peace of mind that comes from knowing that none of the lots sit within a flood plain.

“Once again, we are creating a project of extraordinary design and quality,” remarks Kelli Kickerillo, CEO of Kickerillo Companies, which is overseeing the development. “Stallion Lakes sits on more than 400 acres of rolling land with five lakes and a nature preserve surrounded by landscaped walk/bike trails. This land truly takes your breath away. We are thrilled to be able to bring together Houston’s best builders to deliver luxury living in the heart of Hockley.”

Founded in 1957, Kickerillo Companies has been responsible for the construction of over 16,400 homes in more than 40 prestigious Greater Houston neighborhoods, including Lakes of Parkway, Kelliwood, Twin Lakes, and Vintage Lakes.

The firm has joined forces with local businessman Bill Bean, who originally purchased the land with his wife, Karen, approximately 12 years ago from iconic A. J. Foyt.

The Kingshill Martini Group will be the exclusive listing agent for Stallion Lakes lots, and co-founder Diane Kingshill agrees about the beauty and convenience of the area.

“Located just 40 miles from downtown Houston, Stallion Lakes is one of the closest areas to the city that offers this stunning, rolling terrain,” she explains. “I own a home in Hockley and can personally endorse the quality of life here. Getting back and forth to Houston is easy, even on a daily basis. Minutes away, Fairfield Town Center offers a large variety of shops and restaurants, and The Clubs at Houston Oaks is only two miles down the road, adding to the community’s tremendous appeal.”

Lot prices range between $300,000 and $690,000. Those interested in the custom builds should note that the development requires at least 4,500 square feet for one-story plans and at least 5,000 square feet for two-story homes.

“We are excited about the initial response to Stallion Lakes,” says Kickerillo Companies president Jim Miller. “Stallion Lakes is on track to be a great success because it is the perfect destination community for families looking to escape the city while still being within arm’s reach.”
