Community story

The setting and its character

Section 13, El Lago is an exclusive enclave of sixteen single-family villas overlooking the private Querencia lake. Residences are designed across two- and three-level configurations named the Ascendant and Descendant floorplans.

The development demonstrates rapid buyer demand, with twelve properties currently under contract and three active listings. Because this represents an initial release, contracts are establishing the enclave's pricing baseline.

  • Limited collection of sixteen single-family villas over the lake
  • Choice between Ascendant and Descendant hillside architectural plans
  • High contract absorption with twelve residences pending closing
  • Active three-villa inventory asking between $4.59M and $4.69M
