Remuda Ranch Estates in east Parker County was started in 1973 as an equestrian community with horse stables and a riding trail around the 900-acre subdivision. The lots average two acres. A Remuda is a herd of horses from which ranch hands select their mounts. The street names are Spanish words. 

 

There are currently about 220 houses in a wide variety of architectural styles including some earth sheltered homes. There is plenty of space between houses with natural vegetation and trees, creeks and hills.

 

The Remuda (homeowner’s) Association, Inc. enforces Deed Restrictions, maintains the common areas, and pays for the streetlight on White Settlement Rd. Membership is automatic for lot Owners. Dues are voluntary. 

The subdivision has three common areas for residents, including a 12 acre tract with improved trails accessible from three sides (Valle, Remuda Circle and Ladera). There are picnic tables and a small pond on Arroyo Dr.

 

Wildlife is abundant with deer, coyotes, raccoons, possums, armadillo and bobcats. Many varieties of birds, including owls, roadrunners, painted buntings, falcons and Mississippi Kites (large raptors). There have been credible sightings of mountain lions (cougars) in Remuda.
