Don Craighead Homes
Viewing the website for Don
Craighead Homes
www.craigheadhomes.com will give visitors
an immediate overview of the quality and
design that is invested in each custom Don
Craighead Home. But to truly appreciate the
passion and energy behind the design, just
take a moment and visit with Marc Fortson,
vice president of Don Craighead Homes.
“We are in the midst of developing the future
of high-end luxury living,” opens Fortson.
“The 2008 Parade of Homes will be hosted
at the Placious (Spanish for palaces) at
Cibilo Canyon. This is the first custom
home development in the new PGA TPC
(Professional Golf Association Tournament
Players Course). Cibilo Canyon is truly a
four star development with two PGA TPC
courses, the largest J.W. Marriott Hotel
Resort and Spa in the world (with over 1000
guest rooms) and two, local custom home
builders involved in the development.”
“What makes this project special is
it is one of the first totally ‘green’ developments
in our area. The entire Cibilo Canyon
project is involved in building green. The
water on both golf courses will be recap-
tured, filtered and reused. We have only two
custom builders on the project (the other is
Mike Hollaway Custom Homes) and we are
both working closely with the San Antonio
Water System (SAWS), Sherwin Williams
paint and Shaw Industries to include the best
possible materials and features to make a
home green-friendly. Everything from duel
flush toilets to energy saving insulation, airconditioning,
fresh air exchangers, as well as
strict restrictions on impervious cover is
included in our green plan. We are very
excited about the new satellite controlled
irrigation systems that waters your lawn
based on weather satellite information.”
The project is scheduled to be completed
in the spring of 2010, but custom
home construction is about to begin and will
continue until all the lots are sold. Lot reservation
will begin in March and 94 lots will
be immediately available between the two
builders. “Homes will start around $800,000
and range over $1 million and most likely
range between 3100 and 4700 square feet.
The lots are beautiful and spacious and very
accommodating to single story plans. The
incredible oak trees are the most majestic

anywhere in the area. I’ve seen
many with an 18” diameter and
larger,” shares Fortson.
The Placious at Cibilo
Canyon is a gated community,
and buyers will have access to
the Cibilo Canyon Community
Club House and Family Center,
which is far above any community
center built to date in San
Antonio. It features a “lazy river”
as well as 2 pools, a children’s
water park, as well as a large
community building with exercise
facility, and room for after
school programs. In addition,
the homeowners in “Palacious”
will be the first to buy memberships
to the TPC which will be
limited to 400 and only available
to property owners. The current membership
is set at $30,000 which also allows play at all
TPC courses. “We anticipate a variety of
buyers to the community, due to the location
and the new NEISD schools, such as
Johnson High School, and new shopping
areas, but obviously golf fanatics will be
most interested in the property. The development
of the two courses will be over $70
million. Once course will be designed by
Greg Norman and the other will be designed
by Pete Dye,” notes Fortson. The current
PGA tournaments, The Valero Open at La
Cantera and the PGA Senior Tour at Oak
Hills, will eventually be hosted on the new
courses.
Don Craighead, Marc Fortson and
Nell Craighead bring more than 65 years of
wisdom, understanding and knowledge of
Don and Nell Craighead with Marc Fortson
residential construction to each project they
design and build. The tradition of Don
Craighead Homes, a company formed in
1984, brings three generations of building
experience to their custom home buyers.
The company’s outstanding reputation is the
perfect match to the pristine tradition of professional
golf. Together, Don Craighead
Homes and the PGA TPC will ignite the new
landscape of northeast Bexar County with
not only the visual beauty of the expansive
golf courses, but attractions of unique homes
designed for the most discriminating buyer.
As you travel out 281 north to
Stone Oak, and turn right, see the construction
and changes in the landscape, and know
the best interest of the land and the community
are always in the forefront of planning
with Don Craighead Homes.
