Timber Ridge represents the culmination of everything Southern Shore Homes believes about residential development: that a community should be designed, not just platted. That ten thoughtfully placed one-acre homesites on a single private road creates more value — for the people who live there and for the landscape itself — than a hundred tightly packed lots ever could.
Located in the rolling countryside outside Whitesboro, Texas, Timber Ridge is a ten-lot private enclave where every homesite has been individually considered — its orientation, its tree canopy, its relationship to the community pond and its neighbors. Underground utilities keep sightlines clean. Mature oaks are preserved, not cleared. The private road ensures no through traffic. And Southern Shore's exclusive role as both developer and builder means one team, one standard, one point of accountability from the first day of site work through the final walkthrough of your home.
This is not a subdivision. It's ten families, ten custom homes, and a shared commitment to quality that will define Timber Ridge for decades.

What Makes This Community Different
Ten homesites. One builder. A community designed from the ground up — not stamped out of a playbook.
One Builder, One Standard
Southern Shore is both the developer and the exclusive builder at Timber Ridge. No competing builders, no inconsistent quality — every home meets the same exacting standards.
Preserved Landscape
We didn't clear-cut the property. Mature oaks remain throughout. Each homesite was planned around existing trees rather than treating them as obstacles.
Curated Small Scale
At ten homesites, Timber Ridge is intentionally limited. Every homeowner knows their neighbors. The private road stays quiet. It's a community, not a subdivision.
Clean Sightlines
No overhead wires anywhere. All utilities — electric, water, communications — run underground. The view from your property is sky and trees, not poles and cables.
Site-Specific Planning
Every lot was individually evaluated. Orientation maximizes natural light and captures prevailing breezes. Setbacks work with the land rather than imposing a grid.
Cohesive Aesthetics
Architectural guidelines ensure visual harmony without mandating uniformity. Each home is unique. Every home belongs. Curated variety within a coherent design language.
Community Lot Map
Ten one-acre lots arranged along a single private road, anchored by the community pond. See lot details in the homesite grid below.

Designed for Country Living
Every detail of Timber Ridge was intentionally designed — from the lot layout and tree preservation to the underground infrastructure and architectural standards.
10 One-Acre Homesites
Ten spacious one-acre lots — large enough for a luxury custom home, pool, guest house, and outbuildings — in a private, traffic-free setting.
Private Enclave
A ten-home private community on a single road — no through traffic, no short-term rentals, no density. Just you and your neighbors.
Luxury Custom Homes
Every home is designed and built by Southern Shore Homes. No spec houses, no production builders — each homesite gets a one-of-a-kind residence.
Mature Oak Trees
Mature oaks have been preserved throughout the property. They provide shade, character, and a sense of permanence from the day you move in.
Community Pond
A large shared community pond serves as a natural focal point — visible from multiple homesites and accessible to all residents.
Underground Utilities
All utilities run underground — power, water, and communications. Clean sightlines, no overhead wires interrupting your view of the Texas sky.
Rural Atmosphere
The kind of quiet that only acreage provides. Open skies, big horizons, and country roads — but never more than a few minutes from town.
Whitesboro Location
Minutes from downtown Whitesboro with easy access to Gainesville, Sherman, Lake Texoma, and the rapidly growing North Texas region.
Choose Your Homesite
Each one-acre lot has been individually evaluated and prepared. Mature trees, lot orientation, and proximity to the community pond make every homesite unique.

From Land to Neighborhood
Seven phases — from the first survey to the final walkthrough. Each phase is executed by Southern Shore's own team. Watch the drone tour above to see the community layout, one-acre homesites, community pond, road construction, water infrastructure, and overall development progress from above.

Community Planning
Site selection, lot layout optimization, architectural guidelines, zoning review, and entitlements — translating the vision for Timber Ridge from concept to an actionable development plan.

Road Construction
Engineered private road with proper base, drainage, and driveway approaches to each homesite. Built to last — not the minimum spec, but what we'd want for our own neighborhood.

Water Infrastructure
Main line installation with fire hydrants and individual meter taps to all ten homesites. Oversized main for future-proof water pressure — installed to North Texas municipal standards and inspected.

Utility Installation
Underground electrical, communications, and gas infrastructure — every homesite gets modern utilities without a single overhead wire. Power, internet, and gas brought to the lot line.

Homesite Preparation
Each building pad is graded, compacted, and prepared for foundation work. Tree lines are preserved. Drainage is engineered per lot. Every homesite is ready for its custom home.

Custom Home Construction
Each home is built individually by Southern Shore's construction division — the same team, the same materials, the same standards as our estate custom homes. One at a time, never rushed.

Community Completion
Final entrances, community signage, shared landscaping, and finishing touches. When every home is built and every tree is planted, Timber Ridge becomes what it was always meant to be: a neighborhood, not a subdivision.
Building Your Home at Timber Ridge
The Southern Shore design-build approach — customized for Timber Ridge homeowners.
Homesite Selection & Reservation
Walk the property. See every lot. Choose the homesite that speaks to you — whether it's pond-adjacent, deeply wooded, or an open meadow. We'll discuss orientation, views, and how your vision fits each option. Once you've chosen, we place a lot hold and begin the design conversation.
Design & Architecture
Your custom home is designed from scratch — for you, for your family, for your homesite. Room layouts, window placement, ceiling heights, cabinet designs — every decision is yours. We guide the process with expertise accumulated across dozens of custom homes, but the vision is yours.
Selections & Finishes
Walk our design studio. Touch the materials. Choose your stone, flooring, cabinetry, plumbing fixtures, lighting, and paint. Because we're the builder — not a middleman — you see actual costs rather than marked-up 'upgrade packages.' You choose what matters to you.
Construction
Our construction division builds your home — the same craftsmen, the same supervisors, the same quality standards as every Southern Shore estate home. Regular site walks keep you informed. A dedicated project manager is your single point of contact. No surprises, no excuses.
Final Walkthrough & Warranty
We walk every room, test every system, and ensure every detail meets our standards before we walk it with you. Then you move in — knowing Southern Shore's warranty and our reputation stand behind every inch of your home. One call for anything, forever.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Timber Ridge — answered directly.
Infrastructure work is underway now — road construction, water lines, and underground utilities are in progress. The first homesites are expected to be build-ready within the current development timeline. Contact us for the most up-to-date schedule for a specific lot.
Southern Shore Homes is the exclusive custom home builder for Timber Ridge. This ensures architectural quality, consistent craftsmanship, and a cohesive community aesthetic across all ten homes. Our design-build team will work with you from initial concept through completion — and because we also developed the site, there's no finger-pointing between a developer and a builder. One team, one standard, one point of contact.
One acre provides generous flexibility. A typical luxury custom home with a pool, outdoor living area, and landscaping fits comfortably — with room for a detached garage, workshop, or guest house if your vision calls for it. During the design phase, we'll work with your homesite's specific dimensions, setbacks, and natural features to maximize both home and outdoor space.
Yes, and they're one of the things that makes Timber Ridge special. Our architectural guidelines ensure design coherence across the community — not by mandating a single style, but by establishing quality standards for materials, massing, roof forms, and site placement. The goal is a neighborhood where every home is unique but every home belongs. Our design team walks you through the guidelines during the planning phase.
Every lot has underground connections for electricity, water, and communications brought to the lot line. Natural gas is also available. No overhead wires anywhere in the community. Each homesite has its own water meter and electrical service — there are no shared connections between lots.
Contact us to discuss lot availability. We'll walk you through the reservation process, which includes a lot hold deposit, a preliminary design consultation to ensure your vision fits the homesite, and a construction agreement. Because there are only ten homesites, we recommend reaching out early — especially if you have your eye on a specific lot.
Timber Ridge is in the Whitesboro Independent School District, which is well-regarded in the region and serves a growing community of families. For buyers evaluating school quality as part of their decision, we're happy to connect you with local resources and families already in the district.
