High Hill Development Creates Master-Planned Community with Resort Amenities

Jason and Sharon Romano, developers and owners of High Hill Development, have a knack for thinking through every detail when creating a luxury getaway as well as an opportunity for owning investment properties. High Hill Development is the perfect blend of slow-paced beach vacation vibes and the elegance of wine country. Therefore, guests expect amenities and benefits that exude these attributes. 

Now that the property’s framework is complete with the first home nearly complete, the High Hill Development team is looking to break ground on the common spaces. The vision is to create an opportunity for guests to bring in an additional stream of income while also providing a slower-paced vacation experience at High Hill.

Escape to East Texas for Full Relaxation

High Hill Development — in conjunction with High Hill Farm — shares 175 acres of rolling hills in Arp, Texas. In an effort to bring Mediterranean coastal vibes to East Texas, the Romanos have carefully curated a master-planned community that seeks to create an escape from the everyday hustle. 

The focus of the master-planned community is creating stunning homes with breathtaking architecture and multi-purpose spaces. However, the community also functions as a full-service resort with concierge service and award-winning amenities.

“We as a family enjoy going on vacations that offer a luxury experience,” Jason Romano shares. “That’s why at High Hill, we are looking to create a laid-back luxury experience. We want to take the legwork out of vacationing so that you can truly unwind when you arrive.”

Enjoy the Great Outdoors at High Hill

High Hill Development will feature 20,000 sq. ft. of retail space to include restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and clothing boutiques. Additionally, there will be a marketplace with quick-grab food and drink options. The property will utilize online services to create a simplified method for on-site purchases. 

Guests will also be able to enjoy live entertainment at the music amphitheater set to take place in the middle of the shared green space. For additional entertainment, the community will feature a 6-bay automated golf range similar to Top Golf. Following in suit of Top Golf, the golf range will have a bar and restaurant on-site and be open to the public as well as High Hill guests. 

“Ensuring our guests can enjoy the great outdoors was top of mind for us as the whole draw to East Texas is the natural beauty it has,” Romano adds. 

Surrounding the community will be hiking and biking trails as well as a spring-fed lake adorned with white sandy beaches and a sunset bar. Guests will be able to swim, paddleboard, and kayak in the lake to cool off after a hot summer day. Don’t care for swimming in a lake? Then take a dip in the luxury pool also available.

As if that wasn’t enough to enjoy, the property will also have outdoor fire pits, accommodations for Bocce ball, a Central Park, and a vineyard nestled in the rolling hills. There will also be a chapel at the top of the hill that can hold up to 150 guests — perfect for those guests looking to host weddings or events with a magnificent backdrop.

Double the Fun with Double Properties

As previously mentioned, High Hill Development shares acreage with High Hill Farm. The two properties are connected by a shared green space in which guests can also enjoy the fine-dining restaurant, pool, bungalows, indoor meeting space, and massage services at Grace Spa featured at the Farm. Reservation for massage services is required.

“Having both properties puts us at a unique advantage as we get to offer our guests double the amenities and opportunities,” says Romano. 

Since the two properties function as a resort, the team is able to accommodate large groups of guests looking for rentals in East Texas. High Hill Farm is able to accommodate up to 25 overnight guests while High Hill Development will have 110 homes available to rent out at completion. 

“Our main focus is creating opportunities for owning an investment property and rental income in East Texas, but we’re also able to cater to corporate clients,” Romano adds. “These clients could be looking for a corporate retreat or need space for business travel. It’s a unique opportunity we’ve positioned ourselves in.”

Benefits of Owning Property at High Hill Development

Each home at High Hill Development comes fully furnished as well as equipped with high-speed internet and phone services. Yvette Leihgeber — lead interior designer — has 20 years of experience and has thoughtfully designed every home to ensure the Mediterranean coastal vibes are brought to life.

As a homeowner, you get access to all the resort amenities available. However, you also get full assistance when it comes to creating an additional stream of rental income from the High Hill Management team. 

The High Hill Management team is dedicated to assisting its homeowners every step of the way — from marketing, renting, and maintenance services. Maintenance services include cleaning homes and lawn maintenance as well as on-site help should any issues arise. 

“Again, we’re here to take away as much of the legwork for our guests as possible. That’s why we’ve created a team of experts to help our residents in making sure owning this investment property is as stress-free as possible,” says Romano.

Another unique feature of becoming a homeowner at High Hill is the Founders Club. The Founders Club is an exclusive invitation-only membership available to the first 10 individuals or families that purchase a home in High Hill Development. 

Benefits of the membership include VIP invites to special events, wine club membership with annual perks, exclusive merchandise, inclusion on the gallery wall, and an engraved paver around the Founders Fountain. Additionally, Founders Club members will get their own golf cart with an exclusive decal. 

Currently, the High Hill Development team is building out the beach bar, Central Park, and Top Golf-inspired range. The first home is nearly complete with other lots available to purchase. 

The High Hill Development sales team is represented by the Danuser Rado Group with Lauren Haley as the lead broker. For more information on homes available at High Hill, reach out to Lauren Haley at [email protected].
