About Pintail Ridge

Pintail Ridge is an upscale 246-acre subdivision that borders the golf course and tennis courts, a mile north of town center (walking distance). There are only 40 lots in the entire development, all of them sold, and many of them with full time residents, including families, second and vacation home owners and retirees. Protective covenants are strong and the minimum home size is 1,600 square feet.

What's so special about Pintail Ridge?

Besides the location, views, and proximity to the golf course, tennis courts and town, the development includes 56.5 acres of common areas (23% of total acreage), including the beautiful 31.3-acre duck ponds area (12.7% of total acreage). The 40 lots range in size from 2.1 acres to 8.7 acres, with the median lot size equal to 4.44 acres (acreage statistics here). Pintail Ridge consists of an upper area (the bench lots) and a lower area (where the duck ponds are).

Pintail Ridge lot sales history

The bench lots sold out first, over a number of years, during which time no lower lots sold (people bought out the upper lots first). By 2004, however, Ennis had been "discovered" by the outside world and all of the Pintail Ridge lots were sold out.

What's so special about being on the bench?

It's an elevated and unobstructed view of the valley and mountains that towers a mile above the valley floor.

What's so special about being on the edge of the bench?

You have an infinity edge where the bench rolls off and down to the lower valley and nobody can build in front of you on the bench. Your view is secure, which is important for your use and enjoyment, as well as the value of your investment.

What's so special about Lot 27?

It is third largest lot on the edge of bench and is on a private cul de sac with only one other house. It also overlooks the duck ponds and is just about smack dab in the middle of Pintail Ridge, which provides a natural buffer from neighboring land.

What are the other "edge of bench" lots like?

The largest lot on the edge of the bench is lot 31 (7.7 acres), a beautiful lot, but it's on the perimeter of Pintail Ridge, bordering some power lines and a large tract of land. The second largest lot on the edge is lot 28 (6.3 acres), another beautiful lot, but it's the first lot on a cul de sac with five other lots. The rest of the edge of bench lots are under 5 acres, with a median size of 3.69 acres and a low 2.1 acres.

Comps

There are only a few Pintail Ridge lots on the market right now that I am aware of, and of those only one is on the edge of the bench. That is lot 3, which is 2.5 acres and has some trees and a seasonal irrigation ditch running through it. It is listed with Reed Real Estate for $250,000, or $100,000 per acre, about triple the cost of Lot 27.

Price and Financing

Lot 27 is offered at $169,900, or $31,004/acre, which is 1/3 of the price-per-acre of comparable lots. See the Financing Options Page for information and links to websites, local banks, seller financing, and more.
