Welcome to the Web site for Ranches of Clear
Creek. We continue to be excited about this project
and hope the following information will answer your
questions about our ranch development. Although we
will endeavor to describe the beauty of this property
and the planned amenities, there is nothing quite
like experiencing Ranches of Clear Creek in person,
and we hope you will visit the property in the near
future.
A high-quality ranch development requires three elements:
a prime location, a beautiful site and a developer
with the financial resources to follow through on
promises made to future residents. Midway Ranch Properties,
a division of the Midway
Companies, has all three, and more.
Location
Five miles south of Hempstead, Texas, on FM 1887,
Ranches of Clear Creek is only 50 miles from downtown
Houston. For more information view our location
map and driving directions.
Site
Forty-four home sites
will be carved from 977 acres of rolling hills and
gentle pasture lands. Clear Creek, a year-round spring-fed
creek, runs north/south through the property. Mature
trees, many several hundred years old, cover over
65 percent of the acreage. We have taken every step
possible to utilize and protect the natural setting
of this property while providing ideal home sites
for our future residents.
Developer
Midway Ranch Properties is a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Midway Companies. Midway has been developing
commercial and residential projects throughout Texas
for more than 30 years. We did not phase the development
of this project. All amenities described below were installed and available to all future residents
before the first buyers began building their homes.
Please visit www.midwaycompanies.com
to learn more about us.
We have taken great efforts to add amenities benefical to all of our owners, yet remain true to the natural beauty of this land.

- Over three miles of roads leading to every property
site. Although the roads were constructed to
county specifications, we obtained approval
from Waller County to top the road with post oak
gravel — small, attractive rust-colored gravel
that minimizes dust, but is ideal for horse traffic
in a country setting.
- A private, decorative, electronically controlled,
gated entry leading into the property, accessible
only to residents and their invited guests.
- A four-board, black painted fence to mark the
property lines along FM 1887.
- Two lakes stocked with fish, both easily accessible
from the interior roads and available to all property
owners.
- A park located along Clear Creek for the use
of all owners and their guests, complete with an equestrian obstacle course.
- A 26,000 square foot covered riding arena within the equestrian center. The equestrian
center anchors more than five miles of riding
trails, including paths along and across Clear Creek
and the parks. At the equestrian center, we have installed multiple turnout pastures and a equine trails course. The equestrian center is for the exclusive
use of our residents and their guests. At this center,
there is a second entrance for the general
public, with on-site staff to control access into
the development.
In addition to the amenities of Ranches of Clear
Creek, residents will benefit from several other aspects
of the development:
- Wildlife management. We worked
with Texas Parks & Wildlife and Waller County to establish a wildlife
management program for all of the ranch properties
within the development. We have taken steps to preserve
the abundant wildlife, as well as their habitat,
by establishing this form of agriculture tax exemption.
Assisted by Texas Parks & Wildlife biologists,
we hope to educate residents about the many varieties
of trees, plants and animals that comprise Ranches
of Clear Creek.
- On-site ranch manager. Every
country property owner needs an extra hand from
time to time. We have addressed that need by providing
an on-site ranch manager who is experienced
in traditional country and ranch management and
in the care of livestock and who has a working
relationship with trades found in the vicinity of
rural properties. Along with an assistant, he is responsible for maintaining more than 85 acres
of commonly owned property and for coordinating
equestrian center events and activities. Additionally,
he serves as a ranch concierge, coordinating
the various trades and services our residents may
require from the surrounding community.
- Deed restrictions. Carefully
written deed restrictions are intended to protect
property values while fairly accommodating residents
seeking a casual country lifestyle.
We encourage you to visit the photo
section of this Web site, where images will document
development progress and illustrate amenities as they
are installed and completed.
Thank you for visiting our Web site. Please feel
free to contact us if
you have any questions. We look forward to welcoming
you to Ranches of Clear Creek...for a visit...or for
a lifetime of enjoyment.
Sincerely,
Don Thomas |
