AUSTIN – (Realty News Report) – Houston-based Johnson Development has broken ground on Freely, a new master planned community that will bring 1,850 homes to the former Chapman Ranch land in Liberty Hill near Austin.
Located about 40 miles north of downtown Austin, the nature-focused Texas Hill Country community will span 762 acres along the North Fork of the San Gabriel River. Freely will be Johnson Development’s second community in the Austin area, following the completion of Bryson in Leander last year.
