Back to the Basics Life at Lariat


Maybe it’s nostalgia. Maybe it’s wishful thinking. Or maybe it is time we got back to the basics of life—when life was a bit more laid-back and slower-paced. With the hustle and bustle of work and everyday life, it makes taking time to sit back and relax a bit challenging.

It may be the more modern and complicated our world becomes, the further we are from nature. So how do we get back to the basics? Living a simpler life at a slower pace, at least at home, is one way to exit the race and keep stress in check. That was our vision when we designed Lariat in Liberty Hill.

We want our community to focus on what matters most: the everyday moments that bring us joy, like skipping a rock, walking on a tree-lined trail, or just lying in the soft green grass. Getting outside in nature helps us reconnect with our basic human needs and connect deeper with those around us.

Upon completion, we will have all the community-exclusive amenities you need to get back to basics. You can invite your friends and family for a barbecue and lawn games at The Junction—the planned amenity center and event lawn or relax while you cast your line in the fishing pond with your pal. Then tell your tales among friends and family at the dinner table.

If water is your jam, residents will enjoy The Watering Hole, a future resort-style pool and splash pad. Coming soon, residents will be able to sunbathe, relax, and get to know the neighbors at the future pool and watch the kiddos play on the expansive playscape nearby.

You are sure to love our planned pavilion and spacious green space, The Junction, for weekend markets, picnics, and lawn games like croquet and corn hole. And remember that dogs need green space, too. Residents will be able to mosey over to the enclosed dog park for some bonding with their furry friends. Within its spacious green area, there’s plenty of room to throw a Frisbee or toss a ball until you happily wear each other out.

Maybe some light competition takes you back to the basics. Soon, residents can play pickleball and shoot hoops on a half-court. And you can take your fitness routine outside anytime. Use nature to help tone and strengthen your body while you enjoy the sights and sounds of the outside world.

Perhaps you like to walk, run, or bike. Once completed, residents can utilize Lariat’s extensive trail system at any time for a refreshing change of pace. Consider going for a run while the sun rises on the horizon and bathe in the beautiful colors as they spread and lengthen. You can take an afternoon walk through the trees or stroll to a picnic spot to have your lunch. Then hop on your bike for a sunset ride to take in the vibrant colors of the sky again.

At Lariat, it’s all about slowing down and enjoying the everyday pleasures of life, no matter how simple. You’ll find the perfect home here to complement your low-stress lifestyle and get you back to the basics. Slow down the pace in a new home here, where small-town values and slow living shape every part of our community.
