For Release: 5/27/2008 4:44:50 PM
Bigelow Homes, one of the nation's foremost leaders in green, energy-efficient home building, announced the May sales launch of the highly anticipated Blanco River Village in San Marcos.
Located next to the Quail Creek Country Club on Highway 21 north of Highway 80, and just steps from the Blanco River, the community will offer 11 different floor plans, three of which will be showcased as model homes.
"The plans are not only extremely energy-efficient, they are some of the most unique and innovative homes to hit the market in recent years," said Bigelow Homes president Jamie Bigelow. "Each plan was designed with incredible space utilization and amenities that are sure to exceed the needs and wants of our customers."
Bigelow Homes, recipient of "Professional Builder Magazine's" National Builder of the Year award, is one of only a few builders in the entire country to build homes so energy-efficient they actually guarantee a homeowner's cooling costs. The guarantee promises that cooling costs won't exceed $400 per year for the first three years. That monthly utility bill savings alone, will allow homebuyers to purchase a home worth approximately $10,000-15,000 more while keeping their overall monthly expenses the same.
Being so close to the Blanco River was a major site selection consideration for Bigelow. "Residents can literally walk out their front doors and enjoy river activities in just a few minutes." Bigelow said. "Being able to walk to the river is an extremely attractive feature that adds enormous value to the neighborhood. '
The builder is also working with the City of San Marcos on plans to redevelop the riverfront into an exciting new community park.
The three models that will be available for touring this May will showcase an array of home styles in Bigelow's portfolio.
