Enchanted Gardens III
   Come and experience the benefits of small town living in historic Waxahachie, TX. Enchanted Gardens is conveniently located near dining, exercise, therapy and medical facilities as well as parks, a great library, golf, shopping, and the historic downtown area. You will also enjoy the benefits of lower taxes, lower insurance rates and the lower crime rate of Ellis County. This is a secure "planned development" community. These custom designed homes are priced from $135,000 - $200,000 with no association dues or maintenance fees.
   The "Garden Home" concept, once only a California phenomenon, is growing across the country. There is an increasing segment of Americans that are seeking safe, private, low-maintenance living. The garden home concept is also attracting a number of working professionals who do not want to be tied down to a large high-maintenance yard.
   The garden home or "zero-lot-line" name comes from the fact that one side of the house is built on the property line. A five foot maintenance easement is granted by your neighbor for access to that side of the house. The placement of this wall right on the property line creates part of the fence for the neighbor's garden or side yard. This wall has no doors; thereby totally isolating your garden from that of your neighbor.
    Good land planning is crucial in developing garden home lots. Unlike town homes or condominiums, garden homes are completely detached; the home is a single family home not attached to any other house structure. Normal single family lots range from 3 to 4 units per acre. Garden home lots can range from 7 to 10 units per acre. This good land planning utilizes higher density single family home concepts while increasing privacy and safety in a garden cluster development.
    These smaller garden home lots do not mean you must sacrifice interior space. Living areas in Enchanted Gardens III range from 1400 to 2700 square feet with garages to accommodate from two to four cars.
    Good land planning must be complemented to good architecture. Garden home plans are designed to make good use of the garden area whether it is to the front, side, or rear of the lot. (Private entrance with no alley) Window placement is important in the planning of a garden home not just for the energy efficiency factor, but also to bring the beauty of your particular garden landscaping inside the home.
