Pecan Plantation is a Large Community Nestled Amid Tall Pecan Trees in North Central Texas and Features Brick Single Family Homes, Condominims, a Golf Course, a Village Center, a Dog Park, River Access, a Marina, Riding Stables and More
Southwest of Fort Worth in north central Texas, Granbury is the setting for The Pecan Plantation, a large community surrounded by a bend in the Brazos River. Most of the 4,200 acres are dedicated to single family properties and a few condominum buildings, although an active pecan orchard remains. Residents include families, empty nesters and baby boomers (the median age is 53).
Construction started in the 1980s, and so far about 2,500 homes have been built. Home sites are still available, but no more than 4,500 homes will be built. The community has a variety of neighborhoods, each with its own characteristics. One of the newest, Park Place, has a four acre lake and mile long walking trail. The Landings Airpark has a landing strip and touts "fly-in" living.
Nearly all homes are single story and made from brick (or have a brick veneer). Older dwellings are shaded by tall pecan trees, while newer ones stand next to freshly planted saplings.
Prices start in the high-$100,000s. Please verify this with a Realtor as prices are sure to change.
Homeowners also pay a one-time fee of about $5,500 at closing plus monthly HOA dues of about $200 to $525, depending on the home (condo or single family). The HOA fee allows access to all amenities except the golf course which has its own initiation fee and monthly fee. Please verify these prices as they also are bound to change over time.
Pecan Plantation has three parks with access to 17 miles of river. Its 18-hole golf course features a clubhouse with a pro-shop, a swimming pool, tennis courts, a dining facility, and hotel rooms. The activity center has a dog park, an outdoor lap pool, and an indoor basketball court.
The Nutcracker Golf and Fitness Club extends more options for those willing to pay extra fees. The commercial village includes a grocery store, bank, and a pharmacy. Stables, a marina, and an archery range are also on the property.
Nearby Granbury sits along the Brazos River and manages extensive trails, a Lake Granbury beach, and a lively town square. The Granbury Theatre Company, in the town's historic opera house, has a full season of drama and musicals.
Lake Granby Medical Center provides medical care.
Summer temperatures are in the 90s, and winter temperatures are in the 20s, 30s and 40s. On average, the area receives 35 inches of rain per year.

North Central Texas:
A dynamic region that blends urban growth with small-town charm, North Central Texas stretches across rolling prairies, lakes, and wooded areas. It is anchored by the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex, offering big-city amenities such as world-class healthcare, universities, airports, and cultural attractions. Surrounding towns provide a slower pace of life with strong community ties.
The region experiences hot summers and mild winters, making it appealing for those who enjoy year-round outdoor activities. North Central Texas is also a hub for economic opportunity, with industries ranging from technology and finance to energy and manufacturing. At the same time, it maintains a distinctly Texan character, with a love of barbecue, country music, and wide-open spaces.
For retirees, the area offers both the convenience of metropolitan living and the relative affordability and friendliness of smaller communities.
What are the Benefits of a 55+ Community?
A 55+ community is often perfect for people who are looking for a lifestyle tailored to their later stage of life. These neighborhoods are designed with active retirees in mind, often featuring amenities such as clubhouses, fitness centers, pools, walking trails, and organized social activities that make it easy to stay engaged and meet new friends.
The environment is generally quieter and more relaxed than mixed-age neighborhoods, since children and younger families are not the primary residents. Homes are often built with convenience in mind, including single-level layouts, low-maintenance yards, and accessible designs. Many 55+ communities also provide a sense of security, with gated entrances or neighborhood watch programs, and they can be located near healthcare facilities, shopping, and cultural attractions.
For those seeking a supportive, social, and easy-to-manage lifestyle, a 55+ community can be an excellent option.
