Platinum Ranch - Gunter, Tx

10/27/2026

Wondering what homes might cost in Platinum Ranch, one of the largest new developments coming to Gunter, Texas?

We’re getting an early look at potential home prices, and the development’s 2026 bond documents provide some interesting insight into what buyers might expect!

According to the developer’s preliminary financial projections, estimated home values are based on three different lot widths:

▪️ 50-FOOT LOTS

* Estimated home value: $450,000
* 681 lots planned in Phase 1

▪️ 60-FOOT LOTS

* Estimated home value: $540,000
* 162 lots planned in Phase 1

▪️ 70-FOOT LOTS

* Estimated home value: $630,000
* 119 lots planned in Phase 1

That’s a total of 962 residential lots planned for the first phase of Platinum Ranch!

WHERE ARE THESE PRICES COMING FROM?

These numbers aren’t coming from builder advertisements or current home listings.

They’re preliminary home-value estimates included in the development’s bond documentation, which is used to help evaluate the project’s financing and projected property values.

In other words, the developer has estimated what homes on different lot sizes could be worth as part of the project’s financial planning.

These are NOT official builder starting prices or guaranteed sales prices.

Actual pricing will depend on the builder, floor plan, square footage, design selections, market conditions, and incentives available when homes are released.

WHO WILL BE BUILDING?

The bond documents identify five builders with lot contracts:

• Lennar
• D.R. Horton
• First Texas Homes
• Coventry Homes
• Siena Homes

These contracts cover approximately 1,563 lots, including all 962 lots in Phase 1.

WHEN WILL WE KNOW ACTUAL HOME PRICES?

The developer previously projected that finished lots would begin being delivered to builders in the second quarter of 2027.

Once builders announce their communities, floor plans, and pricing, we’ll have a much clearer picture of the actual price ranges.

ONE MORE IMPORTANT DETAIL FOR BUYERS!

Platinum Ranch is planned as a Public Improvement District (PID).

That means future homeowners will have annual PID assessments in addition to their regular property taxes.

The preliminary estimated annual PID assessments are:

• 50-foot lots – Approximately $3,956
• 60-foot lots – Approximately $4,747
• 70-foot lots – Approximately $5,539

These figures are also preliminary and subject to change.

Understanding the PID assessment is important because the purchase price is only one part of the overall cost of owning a home.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR GUNTER HOMEBUYERS?

Platinum Ranch could bring a wide variety of new construction options to Gunter, with multiple builders offering homes on different lot sizes.

While it’s still too early to know official pricing, these preliminary estimates give us an idea of the price points the developer is using in its financial projections.

I’ll continue following Platinum Ranch as builders release floor plans, pricing, incentives, and anticipated sales dates!

One of the largest developments planned for Gunter, Texas, is moving forward, and we’re getting a closer look at the builders, home prices, and timeline for Platinum Ranch!

With more than 4,200 planned single-family homesites, multiple builders, commercial development, and future school sites, Platinum Ranch is expected to play a significant role in Gunter’s growth over the coming years.

Here’s what the latest development and bond documents tell us!

▪️ WHERE IS PLATINUM RANCH LOCATED?

Platinum Ranch is a Centurion American development located north of Marilee Road, near Stiff Chapel Road and Old Scaggs School Road, approximately 1.5 miles west of Preston Road.

The development includes approximately 1,715 acres within Gunter city limits.

▪️ HOW MANY HOMES ARE PLANNED?

According to the bond documentation, the development is projected to include approximately 4,224 single-family residential lots at full build-out.

The first phase includes:

• 962 residential lots
• Approximately 242 acres
• 681 lots measuring 50 feet wide
• 162 lots measuring 60 feet wide
• 119 lots measuring 70 feet wide

Additional residential development is planned in future phases.

▪️ WHO WILL BE BUILDING?

The bond documents identify five builders with lot contracts:

• Lennar
• D.R. Horton
• First Texas Homes
• Coventry Homes
• Siena Homes

Together, these builder contracts cover approximately 1,563 lots, including all 962 lots planned for the first phase.

▪️ WHAT ABOUT HOME PRICING?

The developer’s preliminary estimates include:

• 50-foot lots – Approximately $450,000
• 60-foot lots – Approximately $540,000
• 70-foot lots – Approximately $630,000

These are projected home values from the bond documents, NOT official builder pricing. Final home prices will be determined by the builders when sales begin.

▪️ WHAT ELSE IS PLANNED FOR PLATINUM RANCH?

This development is much more than a traditional residential neighborhood.

Centurion American has also outlined plans that include:

• Approximately 277 acres of mixed-use development
• Roughly 200 residential villas
• Up to 3,000 apartment units
• Three planned school sites of approximately 20 acres each
• Future commercial development and neighborhood amenities

The conceptual site plan also identifies a future toll road alignment along the western side of the development.

These are long-term plans and remain subject to change as the community develops.

▪️ WHEN WILL HOMES BE AVAILABLE?

According to the bond documentation, street and utility construction for the first phase began in the first quarter of 2026, with completion projected for the second quarter of 2027.

Centurion American previously indicated that finished lot deliveries to builders were anticipated to begin in the second quarter of 2027.

Home construction and sales would follow, but official builder sales dates have not yet been announced.

▪️ WHAT ABOUT PROPERTY TAXES AND PID ASSESSMENTS?

Platinum Ranch is being developed with a Public Improvement District (PID), which means future homeowners will have annual PID assessments in addition to regular property taxes.

The preliminary estimated annual PID assessments are:

• 50-foot lots – Approximately $3,956
• 60-foot lots – Approximately $4,747
• 70-foot lots – Approximately $5,539

These assessments help finance infrastructure improvements within the development.

The figures are preliminary and subject to change, but they’re important for buyers to understand when considering the overall cost of purchasing a home in Platinum Ranch.

▪️ WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR GUNTER?

Platinum Ranch is one of the most significant developments planned within Gunter city limits.

With thousands of residential homesites, multiple national and regional builders, future commercial development, and land designated for potential schools, this project could have a substantial impact on Gunter’s population, infrastructure, and housing market over the next decade and beyond.

It’s also important to remember that these homes won’t all be built at once. Platinum Ranch is a long-term, multiphase development that will take years to complete.

As someone who lives and works in Gunter, I’m continuing to follow these projects closely, from infrastructure and builder announcements to home pricing, development timelines, and the impact on our community.

I’ll continue sharing updates as more information becomes available!

🏡🚧 PLATINUM RANCH UPDATE | GUNTER, TEXAS!

PHASE 1: 962 HOMESITES AND FOUR BUILDERS CONFIRMED! 👀

One of the largest developments planned for Gunter is moving forward, and I wanted to share an update on what’s happening with Platinum Ranch!

Developed by Centurion American, Platinum Ranch is a massive master-planned community planned for nearly 2,000 acres in southern Gunter, near Marilee Road and the future Grayson County Toll Road.

🏗️ PHASE 1 UPDATE

The first phase includes approximately 962 single-family homesites, with four major builders selected:

🏡 D.R. Horton
🏡 Lennar
🏡 First Texas Homes
🏡 Coventry Homes

Infrastructure construction began in early 2026, with the first developed lots currently targeted for delivery to builders in the second quarter of 2027.

That means we’re still in the early development stages, but this is a significant step toward bringing the first homes to Platinum Ranch!

📍 WHAT’S PLANNED FOR THE ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT?

The larger Platinum Ranch master plan includes:

🏠 More than 4,200 single-family homesites
🏫 Land planned for two elementary schools and one middle school serving Gunter ISD
🌳 Approximately 223 acres of green space
🏞️ Parks, trails, lakes and community amenities
🏊 Multiple planned amenity centers
🏘️ Additional residential villas
🛍️ Approximately 277 acres designated for future mixed-use development, including commercial and multifamily uses

🚧 WHAT’S HAPPENING NOW?

Much of the early work involves the infrastructure needed to support a development of this size, including roads, water, sewer, drainage and other improvements.

Gunter has also moved forward with Public Improvement District (PID) financing and assessments related to the development’s infrastructure.

📚 WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR GUNTER ISD?

With thousands of homes planned over the life of the development, Platinum Ranch could have a significant impact on future student enrollment and school planning.

While three school sites are included in the development plans, the timing of future campuses will depend on district planning, enrollment growth and funding.

📍 WHY I’M WATCHING THIS DEVELOPMENT

Platinum Ranch isn’t just another neighborhood. Its size, location and planned mix of residential and commercial development could make it one of the most influential projects in Gunter’s future growth.

And with Phase 1 infrastructure underway, we’re beginning to see the first steps of that long-term vision.

I’ll continue following the development, builder announcements, construction progress and future home pricing as more information becomes available!

🏛️ Gunter City Council Update | July 16, 2026

Yesterday’s Gunter City Council meeting lasted just under four hours and covered a wide range of agenda items.

On this page, my focus is sharing the new residential and commercial developments, growth projects, and community updates that impact homeowners, buyers, sellers, and anyone interested in Gunter’s future.

If you’re interested in the full meeting, additional agenda items, or would like to watch the meeting in its entirety, I encourage you to attend future City Council meetings or follow OurGunter for agendas and the live meeting recordings.

Here are the biggest development updates from yesterday’s meeting:

👋🏻 Welcome to Gunter!

🏡 Platinum Ranch - Gunter, Tx
• 1,700+ acre master-planned community
• 4,200+ planned homesites
• Approximately $2.1 billion projected buildout value

City Council discussed the Public Improvement District (PID) and bond financing. Officials emphasized that 100% of the PID bond repayment will be paid by future Platinum Ranch property owners through PID assessments—not by current Gunter residents or property owners outside the development.

Council also explained that PID assessments and related tax information are disclosed to buyers before signing a purchase contract, helping ensure homeowners understand those obligations before purchasing.

🏡 Taylor Ranch - Gunter, Tx
• 491-acre master-planned community
• 649 planned homesites
• Approximately $400 million in projected taxable value to the City of Gunter

Taylor Ranch’s PID was also discussed as this community continues moving through the development process.

🚗 Head west out Little Elm Creek Rd - you will see the construction started with the roads already cut in for Taylor Ranch.

▪️My goal is to take the information discussed during these meetings and break it down into updates that are easy to understand for homeowners, future buyers, and anyone who wants to stay informed about what’s happening in Gunter.

As Gunter continues to grow, I’ll keep sharing updates on new developments, commercial projects, road improvements, schools, and everything shaping the future of our community.

🏡 PLATINUM RANCH UPDATE | GUNTER, TX

A major update on Platinum Ranch was shared during this week’s Gunter City Council meeting.

City staff reported that work is beginning on Phases 1A, 1B, and 1C of the development. Those initial phases are expected to include approximately 962 lots, marking a significant step forward for one of the largest planned communities in the area.

When fully developed, Platinum Ranch is expected to include more than 4,000 homes, along with commercial, mixed-use, and community components that have been part of the long-term vision for the project.

While a development of this size will take years to build out, it’s clear that Platinum Ranch continues to move from planning into active development.

As more information becomes available regarding infrastructure, builders, timelines, amenities, commercial components, and future phases, I’ll continue sharing updates here.

PLATINUM RANCH — This is the BIGGEST development coming to Gunter, as of now.

▪️I believe it will hold the biggest impact on our small town and our ISD! ▪️

Here’s what I know 👇🏻

📍 Located just south of Gunter, west of Preston Rd (289), Platinum Ranch sits right in the path of northbound growth coming out of Celina.

👉🏻 And at nearly 2,000 acres…

This is currently the largest development planned in the Gunter area

—

📊 HERE’S WHAT’S BEEN ANNOUNCED:

• ~1,998 total acres
• Developed by Centurion American
• Mix of residential, commercial, and multi-family
• ~4,200 single-family homes planned
• ~290 villa units
• ~277 acres of mixed-use (including potential multi-family up to ~3,000 units)
• Positioned along the future Grayson County Toll Road + Marilee Rd corridor

—

🌳 PLANNED COMMUNITY FEATURES:

• ~223 acres of green space
• Community park + multiple amenity centers
• Existing lakes being enhanced
• Trails + open space throughout

🚌💙🐯 And here’s what most people miss:

✏️ On-site schools are planned within Gunter ISD
✏️ Potential for 2 elementary schools + 1 middle school on site in Platinum Ranch

👉🏻 That’s 3 campuses built into ONE development

—

🏗️ BUILDERS (EARLY PHASES):

• D.R. Horton
• Lennar
• First Texas Homes
• Coventry Homes

➡️ Not assigned to specific lots yet — that comes with final plats
But it confirms this project is moving forward

—

🧠 PHASING + TIMELINE (THIS PART MATTERS):

The layout you’ve probably seen is still a conceptual master plan — it shows intent, not exact timing.

✔️ Phase 1: ~960 lots
✔️ Lot delivery projected around 2027
✔️ Vertical construction follows
✔️ Earliest realistic move-ins: 2028+

💡 Translation:
This is NOT “homes coming next year”

👉🏻 This is long-term, structured growth

—

🎯 WHY THIS MATTERS (EVEN IF YOU’RE NOT BUYING HERE):

This impacts:
• Future school zoning
• Where new campuses go
• Traffic + infrastructure
• Long-term home values across Gunter

👉🏻 This is how growth shapes a town — not just one neighborhood

—

💬 What’s important to understand:

This isn’t a small project…
👉🏻 This is a large-scale, master-planned community that will play a major role in how Gunter grows over the next several years

And details will continue evolving as plans move from concept → preliminary → final plats

—

I’ll be watching for:
• Final plats
• Builder lot assignments
• Infrastructure + road updates

👉🏻 And I’ll share it as soon as it becomes public
