If you’ve ever fantasized about living on the glossy pages of a dreamy lifestyle magazine, that vision could soon be one step closer to reality.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fried\u00ebn, the first and only Southern Living-inspired community in Texas, is under development in Fredericksburg. A new state regulatory filing<\/a>, registered in August, outlines plans for a $2.7 million neighborhood amenity center and a pool within the sprawling project. Fried\u00ebn currently features several completed homes<\/a> with stone walls and neutral color palettes, along with available lots for sale.\u00a0<\/p>\n The new amenity center is the latest major development in the 240-acre master-planned community’s expanding infrastructure. The 3,200-square-foot project began construction on August 24, according to a Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) filing. The project is set to wrap up in early August next year.\u00a0<\/p>\n Eventually, developers will build a commercial quarter for luxury hospitality, retail and office space, with high-end apartments down the line.\u00a0<\/p>\n Though Fried\u00ebn is owned by the Fredericksburg Development Inc., a family-owned development firm, its ties to Southern Living’s design leadership appear obvious. Not only is the development’s major selling point that it is “inspired” by the magazine’s well-established, timeless and cozy style, but Southern Living is also putting the finishing touches on its swanky 4,000-square-foot Idea House<\/a> located inside the community.\u00a0<\/p>\n The show house will blend traditional Texas Hill Country style with a modern farmhouse design, and is intended to showcase the latest trends in architecture, design, building materials and technology.\u00a0<\/p>\n Fried\u00ebn is described as having ample green space, idyllic lakes and walking trails, with homes that blend into the rolling landscape of the Hill Country.\u00a0<\/p>\n
