20 acres of Hill Country amenities — what the $263/month HOA covers and what makes this campus different from standard active adult communities
Kissing Tree built its amenity campus around a deliberate Hill Country aesthetic — natural limestone, live oaks, and outdoor spaces that use the terrain rather than fighting it. The Mix is the central amenity hub, named with the Brookfield brand philosophy of mixing activities, social connections, and nature into one experience.
9-hole golf course on-site. Residents play at preferred rates; a full 18-hole round is available by playing two loops. Optional annual golf memberships available. Golf not included in base HOA.
Resort-style outdoor pools with lounge areas, lap lanes, and a lazy river element. Aqua fitness classes included in HOA. Open year-round with Texas mild winters.
Second-story fitness center with Hill Country views — cardio, strength, and free weights. Group fitness classes (yoga, strength, aerobics) included. Personal training available at extra cost.
18 pickleball courts — one of the largest pickleball facilities at any Texas 55+ community. Organized leagues, open play, and beginner clinics. Most consistently attended amenity.
On-site restaurant and bar — Tarbox & Brown. Full-service dining, community events, live music nights. One of the few 55+ communities in Texas with a resident-serving restaurant on-site.
Social building with billiards, shuffleboard, vintage juke box, and gathering spaces. Event venue for themed parties, live entertainment, and resident-organized social nights.
Dedicated bocce courts and horseshoe pits. Organized competition and casual play throughout the week.
Trails through the Hill Country limestone terrain — live oaks, natural features, and views. The natural setting is the primary differentiator from flat-terrain communities like Sun City Georgetown.
The fitness facility includes spa-like locker rooms, private rooms for massages and visiting physician consultations, and a movement studio for various fitness classes. This wellness integration is more developed than most 55+ communities of comparable size and reflects Brookfield's philosophy of building health infrastructure into the community rather than treating it as an afterthought.
