Meyer Ranch is New Braunfels’s most social master-planned community — a 700-acre former cattle ranch with six active builders, a resort amenity center called The Haus, a Lifestyle Coordinator running food truck nights and monthly events, and a Community Green with fire pits and a four-hole putting green that distinguishes the community’s daily feel from every other NB master-planned option. Meyer Ranch is a 700-acre master-planned community inspired by its roots as a working cattle ranch, originally settled by German immigrants over a century ago. The Haus features a fully equipped fitness center, resort-style pool, splash pad, green spaces, playground, fire pit, and four-hole putting green. The Community Green hosts food truck nights and monthly events. Meyer Ranch HOA dues are $600/year ($150/quarter), managed by KiTH Management Services. The critical due diligence item that most Meyer Ranch buyers discover late: a MUD (Municipal Utility District) funds water and wastewater infrastructure — verify the current MUD rate at the Meyer Ranch MUD before finalizing your budget.

The MUD — Meyer Ranch’s Most Important Due Diligence Item
Meyer Ranch has a Municipal Utility District — the Meyer Ranch MUD — that funds water, wastewater, and drainage infrastructure for the community. The MUD levies a tax on all properties within its boundary.
- The MUD rate is separate from and in addition to the base Comal County and Comal ISD rates
- Verify the current MUD rate at meyerranchtx.com or by contacting KiTH Management Services before finalizing your budget
- MUD bonds typically run 20–30 years — ask what the current rate is and when the bonds are projected to be retired
- Provide the MUD-inclusive combined rate to your lender before escrow is set up — lenders using Comal County averages without the MUD will underestimate your escrow requirement
- See our MUD district explainer for how MUDs work in Texas master-planned communities
Amenities — The Haus and Community Green
- The Haus: Fully equipped fitness center, resort-style pool, splash pad, green spaces, playground, fire pit, and four-hole putting green. The putting green is a distinctive amenity not commonly found in NB master-planned communities at comparable price points
- Community Green: Playground, fire pit, food truck nights, and monthly events for residents — the community programming element that distinguishes Meyer Ranch’s social character from more amenity-passive communities like Veramendi’s section amenity centers
- Dog park: Large dog park with seating area
- Trails: Scenic green spaces and trail system throughout the community
- Historic Heimer House: On-site historic structure — a nod to the community’s cattle ranch heritage that provides an authentic Hill Country character anchor
- Lifestyle Coordinator: Monthly events for adults and kids — the most active community programming in NB’s master-planned community market
Meyer Ranch vs Veramendi vs Vintage Oaks
- vs Veramendi: Meyer Ranch’s six-builder competition and food truck/events programming distinguish it from Veramendi’s similar price range and builder count. Veramendi has the lazy river; Meyer Ranch has the putting green and Lifestyle Coordinator. Veramendi is closer to downtown NB. Meyer Ranch is closer to Canyon Lake and Gruene
- vs Vintage Oaks: Completely different model — Meyer Ranch is production-builder with standard lots; Vintage Oaks is buy-your-lot-then-build on 1–14 acre tracts. Different buyer, different timeline, different total project cost. See our Veramendi vs Vintage Oaks guide
