Amenities and lifestyle
Chisholm Summit is built around the outdoors. Plans include 100+ acres of parkland and 10+ miles of trails, an equestrian center and horseback riding trails, fishing ponds, and a community park and amenity center (a state filing lists an event lawn, pavilion, splash pad and playgrounds). It's a rare mix — master-planned convenience with an almost rural, wide-open feel.
More than just homes
It's also planned as a place to work and gather. The master plan includes about 28 acres of commercial space, the Hooper Business Park, a 106-acre professional and medical office district, and a downtown node called Chisholm Square. That kind of on-site employment and retail is what separates a true master-planned community from a standard subdivision.
Homes and pricing
David Weekley is planning open-concept floor plans on 50-foot homesites, with larger lot options across the community. Community pricing has been reported starting in the $290s and ranging toward $1 million for estate product — but new-construction pricing changes with each phase, so treat any number as a moving target.
Graham Hart Home Builder is also building in Chisholm Summit, starting at $500,000. They are semi-custom: you can move walls and rework the floor plan as long as major plumbing stays put. The first phase of lots and streets is set to be substantially complete by January 2027, and they are already talking with buyers about homes and lots.
What I'd tell a buyer
Because homes here are still early, this is exactly the window where incentives tend to be strongest and the best lots are still available. Two things I always tell my Chisholm Summit buyers: register with your own agent on your first visit (not the builder's front desk — it protects your representation and usually costs you nothing), and remember that the base price isn't the price once lot premiums and upgrades are added.
