Bonterra at Woodforest

Bonterra at Woodforest is a 55+ active adult enclave tucked inside the acclaimed 3,000-acre Woodforest master-planned community in Montgomery, Texas — about 40 miles north of downtown Houston and just minutes from The Woodlands and Lake Conroe. Developed by Johnson Development Corp. with homes built by Taylor Morrison and Darling Homes, construction began in 2014 and wrapped up the main build-out in 2023, leaving approximately 700 single-family homes tucked among towering oaks and pines. A limited number of new-construction opportunities may still surface through resale or builder close-out inventory, but the community is essentially sold out of original new builds. The heart of Bonterra is its exclusive 10,000+ sq ft clubhouse at 300 Bonterra Boulevard, reserved for 55+ residents. Inside, you'll find a 24-hour fitness center, a full spa offering massage and facial services, a grand event hall with a catering kitchen, a billiards and poker room, a flex room for cards and games, an internet cafe, and locker rooms with a whirlpool. Outside, residents enjoy a lagoon-style resort pool with a pool bar/cabana, an event lawn with an outdoor firepit and two grills, two bocce courts, four pickleball courts, and tennis courts — all overseen by a full-time Lifestyle Director and Clubhouse Concierge staff. The social calendar is legitimately full. Active clubs and groups include Cards, Bunco, Book Club, Bocce, Tennis, Golf, Wine Society, Travel Club, Singles Club, Ladies' Club, Photography Group, Running Group, Walking Club, Morning Fitness, Gourmet Lunch Club, plus community-wide events like Fireside Chats, Happy Hours, Kentucky Derby Parties, and holiday parties. A monthly Lifestyle Guide keeps residents plugged in. Because Bonterra sits inside Woodforest, homeowners also tap into the broader master plan's amenities: the Steve Elkington-designed 27-hole Woodforest Golf Club (separate membership), 11 parks, nearly 14 miles of hiking and biking trails, multiple resort-style pools with water slides, tennis and basketball courts, sports fields, Admiral Bark Park for dogs, and a 90-acre commercial area anchored by Pine Market — a walkable/golf-cart-accessible hub with restaurants, shops, live music, and yoga. Over 700 of Woodforest's 3,000 acres are dedicated to parks, trails, and open green space, giving the whole development a secluded, wooded, retreat-like feel. Homes are single-story stone-and-stucco ranches ranging from roughly 1,344 to over 3,000 sq ft across collections including the Landmark, Cottage, Summit, Pinnacle, and Darling's Sanctuary series — typically two to three bedrooms, two to three baths, and two-car garages, with covered front porches, open-concept kitchens, bay-window primary suites, and covered rear patios. Front-yard lawn maintenance is handled by the HOA. The community is zoned to the highly rated Conroe ISD (Stewart Elementary, Peet Junior High, Conroe High School), and Conroe Regional Medical Center is about 15 miles away. The combined property tax rate runs around 2.15% (includes MUD 113 and Lone Star College).
