Garden Home Explained

You’ve likely heard the term garden home or patio home before, but you may be wondering, what is a garden home exactly? As an award-winning developer and builder of luxury garden home and villa communities, Spicewood Communities is the resident expert on this topic. Low maintenance living is the hallmark of these single level homes that range from 1,600 to 2,000 square feet and are perfectly sized to live comfortably without the hassle of cleaning a bunch of rooms and space you never use. Open concept living areas, including a gourmet kitchen, flow harmoniously together to create ideally situated space for entertaining.  All Gardens at Verde Vista garden homes include these features and many of Spicewood Communities best-selling garden home plans from our award-winning community in Round Rock, Gardens at Teravista.

WHAT IS A GARDEN HOME VS A TOWNHOUSE?

While some builders may use the terms garden home and townhouse interchangeably, these are two different types of homes with some very important distinctions between the two.  So, what is townhouse vs. a garden home? A townhouse is typically a two- or three-story home that is attached to a row of the same style/structure of townhomes, in other words, these are not free-standing homes. The front and backyards of townhouses are also very limited in most cases, if any yard at all. The garden homes at Gardens at Verde Vista are free-standing structures, separated by a beautiful and spacious private courtyard. The garden homes are also designed to afford the perfectly-sized home in a single-story to make for easier maintenance and care of your home. However, Gardens at Verde Vista does provide an optional 2nd floor with game/media rooms and an additional bedroom is available to allow guests a little extra space and privacy during their stay.

DO GARDEN HOMES HAVE MORE FEATURES THAN TOWNHOME?

At Spicewood Communities, we believe that simplifying doesn’t have to mean sacrificing. Our garden homes are designed to provide both the comfort and luxury and include high end features such as modern Hill Country exteriors, covered patios and porches, a spa-inspired master bathroom suite, and luxury custom finishes showcase the quality we build into every garden home.  While townhomes typically offer a standard set of features with minimal customizations, our garden homes offer a much higher degree of customization than most builders and we will always do our best to accommodate any ‘unique’ requests you may have. Plus, with all lawn and landscape maintenance provided by the Gardens at Verde Vista HOA, you can say goodbye to weekend yard work and enjoy more time with family and friends.

WILL MY GARDEN HOME HAVE A YARD?

As we mentioned, one of the important distinctions between what a townhouse vs. garden home looks like is the yard. Often in a townhome community you’ll have a communal yard area, or small patio.  At Gardens at Verde Vista if you need a quiet outdoor space to relax and recharge, every garden home features Spicewood Communities signature private gated courtyard entry. Inspired by magical spaces in Tuscany or the French Quarter, these courtyards create a serene outdoor retreat for you to transform into whatever you can imagine as your perfect sanctuary. Orienting our garden homes around these courtyards has truly blurred the lines between indoor and outdoor living. Natural light also floods inside through abundant windows, which means you get the added benefit of enjoying your beautiful courtyard from a variety of rooms throughout your home. You get all the benefit of having a stunning outdoor living area without the upkeep!

Gardens at Verde Vista offers five of our original award-winning floor plans to choose from, plus we are also excited to announce the addition of two new plans for the final phase of Gardens at Verde Vista, The Lady Bird and The Zilker. In addition to everything there already is to love about our Garden Homes, both plans showcase spacious covered patios that take the outdoor fun and relaxation of our private courtyards to a whole new level! And you have the freedom of knowing full landscape services (other than your courtyard) are provided by the HOA! All you have to do is relax and enjoy your new luxury villa at Gardens at Verde Vista in Georgetown.
