This 775-acre master-planned community by MileStone Community Builders is now welcoming buyers to its first phase, with move-ins expected by the end of 2025. Recently featured in both the Austin Business Journal and Community Impact, Persimmon is being recognized not only for its scale and vision, but for how it came together: through meaningful collaboration between city leadership and private development.

“Persimmon represents what’s possible when private development and city leadership work together with a long-term vision for the community.” – Garrett Martin, President & CEO, MileStone Community Builders (in Austin Business Journal)

Big Plans. Bigger Potential.

• 775-acre master-planned community in Buda
• 2,100 homes planned at full build-out
• Floor plans ranging from 1,754 to over 3,500 square feet
• Options for 2 to 5 bedrooms and up to 4.5 baths
• Pricing beginning in the high $400s
• Ideal for buyers putting down roots or seeking room to grow
• Modern clubhouse with coworking space
• Resort-style pools with shaded lounge areas
• Pavilion, playground, and pickleball courts
• Direct access to Garlic Creek Park and Buda’s trail network
• Conveniently located near SH 45, FM 967, and I-35

Built With Purpose

The path to Persimmon’s groundbreaking required years of thoughtful planning, negotiation, and infrastructure coordination. As covered in Community Impact, the project involved careful collaboration with city leadership to align on vision, infrastructure, and long-term growth. Now, with Phase 1 underway, that vision is becoming reality.

“The Persimmon community is a response to the strong demand for additional residential homeownership opportunities south of Austin, and we look forward to seeing the neighborhood grow and come to life.”
– Trisha Thacker, New Home Sales Counselor (Community Impact)

With Buda’s population more than doubling since 2010, the demand for high-quality, well-connected neighborhoods is only growing. Persimmon is here to meet it—with homes, amenities, and natural surroundings that balance livability and longevity.

Now Selling — and a Smart Financial Move

Phase 1 homes are available now, with model tours and sales appointments underway. Whether you’re just starting your search or ready to make a move, Persimmon offers a new standard for community living in Buda.

And for current homeowners, there’s even more potential: through MileStone’s new Road to Wealth program, buyers can keep their current home as a rental, build long-term equity, and use that cash flow to help finance a new home at Persimmon. It’s a smart path forward—whether you’re investing in your future or expanding your footprint.
