City leaders were invited by The Tellus Development Group to visit the Windsong Ranch development in Prosper, Texas. Windsong Ranch is a prototype for a proposed development in McLendon-Chisholm’s ETJ, which would be known as Mann Ranch.

“It is important to see firsthand if this type of development will benefit our community and enhance the lifestyle of our residents so that we can decide if it is a good fit with the vision for our City’s future,” said City Administrator Konrad Hildebrandt.

The Windsong development is a master-planned community that includes a lagoon with sandy beaches, parks and trails, a community amenity center with recreational facilities and upscale homes.

The proposed Mann Ranch development in McLendon-Chisholm is in the early stages of discussion. It would encompass 1,100 acres and is located at the southern edge of McLendon-Chisholm extending into Kaufman County within the City’s ETJ.
