The Community
Space to Breathe.
A Life Worth Living.
Waterfall Ranch is Graham Hart's answer to a growing demand in the DFW market: buyers who want the quality of a custom luxury home but also want land — real land, with room to breathe, room to grow, and a connection to the natural landscape that urban and suburban communities simply cannot offer. Located at 111 Olson Rd in Waxahachie, every home in Waterfall Ranch sits on a full one-acre lot, framed by wooded landscapes and open skies.
Floor plans range from 2,700 to over 3,800 square feet, with six distinct designs — from the 3-bedroom Athens to the expansive 4-bedroom Maverick — each built with the intentional architecture and everyday functionality that define Graham Hart's approach. Homes are priced from the $500s, with a remarkably low $500/year HOA that preserves the value of your investment.
But Waterfall Ranch is more than a collection of homes. It is a gateway to Ellis County — a place with a quality of life, a community character, and a growth trajectory that sets it apart from every other market in North Texas. Understanding what Ellis County offers is essential to understanding why Waterfall Ranch is such a compelling opportunity.

What's Included
Waterfall Ranch Community Features
1-Acre Homesites
Every Waterfall Ranch lot is a full acre — giving buyers room for pools, outdoor living, gardens, and the kind of space that defines a different quality of life.
Homes from the $500s
Graham Hart delivers luxury custom finishes at a price point that represents exceptional value relative to comparable homes in the Mid-Cities and North Dallas corridors.
2,700 – 3,800 sq ft Floor Plans
Six distinct floor plans — from the 3-bedroom Athens to the 4-bedroom Maverick — offer genuine flexibility for families of every size and lifestyle.
Low HOA: $500/Year
One of the most compelling aspects of Waterfall Ranch is what you don't pay. A $500 annual HOA is a fraction of what comparable communities charge, preserving more of your investment.

Graham Hart Quality
The same builder behind Park Hill and Dove Station in Colleyville brings that same commitment to craftsmanship, material quality, and buyer experience to Waterfall Ranch.
Why Ellis County
The County That Has Everything.
And Still Feels Like Home.
For buyers unfamiliar with Ellis County, the discovery is often a revelation. This is not a suburb. It is a community with deep roots, a distinctive identity, and a quality of life that the DFW metro has largely traded away in the name of growth. Here is what makes it exceptional.
Waxahachie ISD — A Community That Invests in Its Kids
Waxahachie Independent School District is one of the primary reasons families choose Ellis County. Waxahachie High School — home of the Indians — is known for academic excellence, strong arts programs, championship athletics, and a Friday night football culture that brings the entire community together. The district's commitment to both academic rigor and extracurricular opportunity makes it a genuine draw for families relocating from the DFW metro.
Historic Downtown Waxahachie
The Ellis County Courthouse is one of the most photographed buildings in Texas — an ornate Romanesque Revival landmark that anchors a downtown square filled with boutiques, antique shops, and locally owned restaurants. The surrounding West End Historic District features lovingly restored Gingerbread-style Victorian homes that give Waxahachie a character and charm that no master-planned suburb can replicate. Weekend mornings here feel like a different era.
Outdoor Life: Parks, Trails & Open Sky
Getzendaner Park — with its massive oak canopy, walking trails, miniature train, and community event space — is the heart of Waxahachie's outdoor culture. Chapman Park and Brown Singleton Park round out a parks system that gives families room to breathe, play, and gather. Beyond the parks, Ellis County's rolling terrain, open pastures, and clear skies offer a natural landscape that is increasingly rare this close to a major metropolitan area.
The Scarborough Renaissance Festival
One of the largest and most beloved Renaissance festivals in the United States calls Waxahachie home every spring. Drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors from across Texas and beyond, the Scarborough Renaissance Festival is a point of local pride and a testament to the community's identity — vibrant, distinctive, and deeply rooted in tradition. It's the kind of event that makes Ellis County feel like a place, not just a zip code.
Everyday Convenience Without the Metro Chaos
Waxahachie has grown into a fully self-sufficient community with a strong retail and dining corridor along US-287 and I-35E. Major grocery chains, national retailers, healthcare facilities, and a growing restaurant scene mean residents rarely need to leave the county for daily needs. The city's growth has attracted investment without sacrificing the small-town pace that makes it desirable in the first place.
The Fastest-Growing Corridor South of Dallas
Ellis County is in the midst of a generational growth moment. In February 2026, Minto Communities USA closed on 3,170 acres in Waxahachie — the largest residential development ever approved in the city's history — with plans for 13,270 homes, 1.2 million square feet of commercial space, and a multiyear buildout that will reshape the county's economic profile. Huffines Communities has broken ground on Lakesong, a 2,700-acre master-planned community in adjacent Midlothian. Land values in the corridor are appreciating as DFW's growth footprint expands southward, and buyers who move now are positioned ahead of that curve.
Small-Town Feel. Big-City Access.
Waxahachie sits approximately 30 miles south of Dallas on I-35E — close enough for a reasonable commute, far enough to leave the congestion behind. Many Waterfall Ranch residents work in the southern DFW employment base or commute north, then come home to a slower pace, more space, and a community where neighbors still wave. The balance of accessibility and serenity is Waxahachie's defining quality, and it is increasingly hard to find anywhere else in North Texas.
A Place That Feels Like Home
What makes Ellis County truly special is the people. There is a genuine sense of belonging here — community events that fill the calendar, traditions that make every season feel meaningful, and a culture of neighborliness that the DFW metro has largely lost. From summer movie nights in the park to the holiday lighting of the courthouse square, Waxahachie is a place where life slows down just enough to be fully lived.
Ellis County Growth
13,270 New Homes Are Coming to Waxahachie.
In February 2026, Minto Communities USA closed on 3,170 acres in Waxahachie — the largest residential development ever approved in the city's history. The project includes 13,270 homes and 1.2 million square feet of commercial space, with a multiyear buildout that will fundamentally reshape Ellis County's economic and demographic profile.
Adjacent Midlothian is seeing similar momentum, with Huffines Communities breaking ground on Lakesong — a 2,700-acre master-planned community. The buyers who move to Waterfall Ranch today are buying ahead of a growth wave that will drive land values, improve infrastructure, and expand the amenity base for years to come.
