Living in Cimarron Hills | Georgetown TX Neighborhood Guide

Established around 2003, Cimarron Hills is a master-planned golf and country club community set on more than 1,000 acres in Georgetown, Texas — often called the "Gateway to the Texas Hill Country." The community features 24-hour guard-staffed entry at a single gated access point, providing the security and exclusivity that luxury buyers expect.

Today, Cimarron Hills stands as one of Georgetown's most prestigious addresses, home to over 700 residences across multiple distinct neighborhoods. Its blend of resort-caliber amenities, award-winning golf, and scenic Hill Country terrain has made it a destination community for executives, retirees, and families alike who seek something beyond the ordinary suburban experience.

The centerpiece of Cimarron Hills is its award-winning 18-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature Design golf course — one of only a handful in Texas bearing that distinction. The course winds through dramatic limestone bluffs, live oak canopies, and Hill Country terrain, delivering a playing experience that consistently earns regional and national recognition.

The course offers both resident membership and non-resident social membership tiers, making the country club lifestyle accessible to a broad range of buyers. Practice facilities include a driving range, short game area, and putting greens. The clubhouse sits adjacent to the course and serves as the social hub of the community, hosting tournaments, events, and casual dining year-round.

Cimarron Hills offers four distinct home categories, each designed for a different lifestyle and budget:

• Villas — 50–55 ft. lots, 1,550–2,600 sq ft, from the $300s. Built primarily by Dream Finders Homes. Ideal for lock-and-leave buyers and empty-nesters seeking low maintenance luxury.
• Homes on the Fairway — 60–72 ft. lots, 2,200–4,200 sq ft, from the $450s. Sitterle Homes builds the majority of these single-family residences with golf course and greenbelt exposures.
• Country Club Homes — Semi-custom and custom designs starting from the $600s, ranging 2,500–5,000 sq ft. Premier finishes and premium lot positioning.
• Estate Homes — Half-acre to one-plus acre homesites, starting from $700K and reaching $2M+. 3,000–8,600+ sq ft custom builds with golf course, greenbelt, and panoramic Hill Country views.

New development sections — The Reserve and The Range by Forterra Developers — have recently released additional half-acre to one-acre homesites, offering some of the last remaining custom build opportunities within the gates.

Cimarron Hills delivers amenities that rival five-star resort properties. The main clubhouse features a full-service restaurant, private dining spaces, and a bar — all available to members and their guests. The spa offers a curated menu of treatments, while the 24-hour fitness center provides state-of-the-art equipment available any time of day or night.

Outdoor recreation options include a resort-style pool, lighted tennis courts, and pickleball courts — a reflection of the community's active, social lifestyle. A robust calendar of social events, holiday gatherings, and golf tournaments keeps the community engaged throughout the year. The 24-hour guarded entry ensures that privacy and security remain constant at all hours.

The majority of Cimarron Hills is zoned to Liberty Hill ISD, one of the most highly regarded and rapidly growing school districts in Williamson County. Liberty Hill ISD holds a "Recognized, Character Plus" designation from the Texas Education Agency — a reflection of both academic performance and community values.

Liberty Hill High School serves students in the upper grades and has earned state recognition across academics and athletics. A small portion of the community falls within Georgetown ISD. Southwestern University — a nationally recognized liberal arts institution — is located minutes away in Georgetown's historic town center, adding to the educational depth of the area.

Cimarron Hills is located approximately 30 miles north of downtown Austin — close enough to access Austin's tech corridor and major employment centers, yet far enough to escape urban density. Georgetown's historic town square, with its restaurants, boutiques, and weekend markets, is less than 15 minutes from the gates.

Major highways connect the community to Round Rock, Cedar Park, and north Austin's technology and healthcare hubs. Georgetown's ongoing growth — including its own expanding commercial and retail base — has made commutes increasingly short for residents working within the city. For those commuting to Austin proper, the distance along I-35 or Ronald Reagan Boulevard remains very manageable for a luxury lifestyle trade-off.

For buyers seeking a truly bespoke living experience, Forterra Developers has recently released new homesites in two sections: The Reserve and The Range. These half-acre to one-plus acre parcels represent some of the last opportunities to build a fully custom home within Cimarron Hills' gates.

Many of these homesites offer direct golf course frontage or protected greenbelt views, providing the backdrop that estate-level buyers expect. New construction in these sections typically ranges from $1.5M to $3M+ at completion, depending on the builder, design, and lot position. Matthew Kemps has direct insight into available homesites and can connect buyers with preferred builders working within the community.
