Plantation Homes' Harvest Green Model Features Family-Friendly Living SpacesShades of blue and a mixture of new and old art greet visitors exploring Plantation Homes newly opened model in Harvest Green, a sustainable Fort Bend community. The beautifully decorated 3,381-square-foot Whitney design at 3423 Heather Garden Trace is a masterfully crafted home showcasing the latest in interior design and the architectural features that have won the builder many awards. Designed with Harvest Green’s unique ethos in mind, the two-story model offers plenty of family-friendly living spaces including an enormous family room with cathedral ceilings and a corner fireplace, a sunny breakfast nook where blueberry pancakes can be enjoyed and a second-floor media room for Saturday movie nights. The family room opens to a peaceful backyard, complete with a garden box. Buyers can purchase the optional garden, which will be installed by a local landscaper, so they can plant as soon as they move in. Guests will be impressed as freshly harvested vegetables sizzle on the grill in the outdoor kitchen or are turned into a beautiful salad in the well-equipped island kitchen. Inside or out, the meal will be a success, especially when paired with the perfect vintage pulled from the chic wine room. A separate dining room, adjacent to the kitchen, is the perfect spot for formal entertaining. The model also demonstrates how adaptable Plantation Homes’ designs are with a first-floor guest suite that flexes into a comfortable living room. There are four bedrooms in the model. The master suite is a relaxing retreat with windows overlooking the back garden and a lush bath where owners can soothe tired muscles after a day of volunteering on the community farm. Two more bedrooms and two baths can be found on the second floor, which also features a large game room with floor-to-ceiling decorative shiplap. A three-car garage, covered patio and large utility room complete the design. Plantation Homes offers 10 new home designs in the community — a mixture of their best-selling designs and some created just for Harvest Green. Homes, ranging from approximately 2,000 to more than 3,300 square feet, are priced from the $260,000s. Harvest Green is located in Richmond in southwest Houston and is centered on a community farm. Residents will enjoy the opportunity to participate in a CSA farm cooperative and chef-led culinary classes. Planned amenities include an event barn, 280 acres of greenbelt and open spaces, 50 acres of parkland and more than 30 acres of lakes and waterways including Oyster Creek, which winds through the community. Young residents attend schools in the acclaimed Fort Bend Independent School District including a new elementary school located within Harvest Green. |
