On a warm Central Texas morning, a resident steps out onto their back patio in Bastrop, coffee in hand. Down the street, neighbors gather for a pickleball match. A few friends wave as they head toward the resort-style pool, while another group chats about an upcoming wine tasting.
This is the lifestyle awaiting residents at Del Webb Austin at Lost Pines, a new 55-plus active adult community. The community recently celebrated its official grand opening with a Western-themed celebration, complete with a live band, line dancing and personalized cowboy hats.
“We had about 75 people from the city of Bastrop come for our ribbon cutting and over 200 people at our grand opening,” Vice President of Sales Ashley Ellis said. “It feels like a special boutique community. … You can feel it when you drive in. It has that ‘Disney effect’ where everything feels elevated.”
Del Webb Austin at Lost Pines grand opening eventModel homes are now open
The community’s six professionally designed model homes are now open for tours, serving as a canvas for prospective buyers to visualize their future. While one home might highlight sleek modern cabinetry, another showcases rustic flooring, allowing guests to see firsthand how different finishes harmonize.
The beauty of Lost Pines lies in its mix-and-match philosophy. Buyers aren’t locked into a single look; instead, they can personalize their home through several steps:
Choose a lot: buyers can choose a lot to build their home on.Select a series: choose from three distinct series—the Scenic, Distinctive or Echelon. Each series offers various sizes and architectural aesthetics, ranging from Cottage and French Country to modern styles.Customize the structure: all homes come standard as a one-story, but buyers can add a loft, turning the home into a two-story.Refine the details: buyers work with professional designers at the in-house design center to curate everything from flooring to countertops.To make the process even easier, a new digital exterior tool on the community website allows buyers to live-preview different exterior color combinations. Buyers can also virtually arrange their furniture to see how it would look in each floor plan. Additionally, if someone falls in love with the furniture inside a model home, they can simply scan a QR code to shop those exact pieces online.
Move-in ready and customizable homes are available for purchase now
Homesites are currently available for purchase, giving buyers the opportunity to begin designing their homes now. Several lots have already been sold, with the first residents expected to move in this summer.
The community also offers a selection of move-in ready homes. These homes are available for purchase now, with the first residents expected to close and move in as early as May or June.
A lifestyle built around connection
Construction is already well underway on the community’s massive amenity center, which broke ground in January. Residents can even watch the progress via a live feed on the website.
The center is expected to open in Q1 2027 and will feature:
