I recently had the opportunity to attend a builder and developer preview night for Water Crest Ranch, and I left energized and inspired by what’s ahead for our city. This development—led by West Texas Land Guys (Trey Strong, Robert Wood, and Jon Loudermilk)—is more than just a subdivision. It’s a bold, thoughtful step forward for Abilene’s future.

📍 Location, Location, Location
Located north of I-20 on West Lake Road, Water Crest Ranch sits just 2.5 miles from the Lancium AI campus and minutes from Lake Fort Phantom. It’s also only 11 miles to Dyess AFB, with convenient access to Merkel ISD and Hawley ISD—a strategic spot with strong growth potential.
