Schlather Ranch, a gated subdivision on the edge of Cibolo, has officially broken ground with a $14.4 million investment to prep lots and infrastructure for new homes. The neighborhood is being marketed around half‑acre parcels and will feature model homes from national and regional builders, with finished houses expected to start in the mid‑$600,000s. Tucked just off Green Valley Road, the site puts future residents in the Schertz‑Cibolo‑Universal City school district and within a quick commute of San Antonio.
Developer and builder lineup
King Fish Development LLC is backing the project, and the site is set up as a 106‑lot gated community that has secured $14.4 million for lot‑development work, according to the San Antonio Business Journal. That funding is earmarked for roads, utilities and other infrastructure needed to deliver build‑ready parcels. The Business Journal also names Toll and Perry as the initial builders lined up to roll out model homes and early inventory in the neighborhood.
Lot sizes and site details
Developer materials place Schlather Ranch on roughly 82 acres along Green Valley Road between Town Creek and Weidner, marketed as estate‑style half‑acre lots. Per King Fish Development, the project was originally framed as 114 half‑acre parcels, with two homebuilders taking about 57 lots each, a detail that does not match the 106‑lot figure reported elsewhere. King Fish’s listing also highlights access to nearby schools and notes that utilities will be provided through local municipal services.
Pricing and construction timeline
Homes in Schlather Ranch are expected to start in the mid‑$600,000s, and lot‑development work is slated to wrap up by the end of 2026, according to the San Antonio Business Journal. That timeline would give builders room to start vertical construction as the dirt work finishes, with sales offices and model centers likely opening in step with the delivery of build‑ready parcels. Local buyers can expect phased releases and detailed floor‑plan pricing to roll out from Toll and Perry as they finalize their neighborhood strategies.
Who Schlather Ranch is meant for
With half‑acre yards and a gated layout, the community is clearly aimed at buyers who want more breathing room than a typical suburban lot offers. The King Fish listing points to the Schertz‑Cibolo‑Universal City ISD and nearby schools as key selling points, and notes the neighborhood will be served by City of Cibolo water and local utilities, per King Fish Development. King Fish also indicates that finished, build‑ready lots will be made available only to select builders, underscoring a developer‑to‑builder sales model instead of individual raw‑land lot closings.
Buyers, brokers and local officials will likely be watching Toll’s and Perry’s marketing moves in the months ahead as the site shifts from earthwork to model homes. For the San Antonio suburbs, Schlather Ranch adds another large‑lot option at a moment when house hunters chasing more outdoor space are staying busy across the region.
