Cactus Ridge

What Cactus Ridge's governing documents say

Cactus Ridge is a single-family residential subdivision in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of Cleburne, Texas. These deed restrictions apply to all lots (1–33, Block 1) and are binding on current and future owners. There is no homeowners' association; an Architectural Control Committee (ACC) oversees building approvals. Key rules govern lot use, building standards, setbacks, fences, vehicles, pets, and property maintenance.

• Lot use & building requirements: Lots are for residential use only; no commercial activity. Each lot may have one single-family detached dwelling with a minimum floor area of 1,800 sq ft (excluding garages, porches, outbuildings). The first floor must be at least 80% brick, rock, or masonry. Minimum width is 50 ft. Roofing must be 240 lb or better laminated shingle (no white color); metal roofing requires ACC approval. Minimum roof pitch is 8/12. Garages must have side or rear entry unless otherwise approved. Detached living quarters (guest/in-law) are allowed but must match the residence.
• Architectural review & setbacks: No building may be constructed or altered without ACC approval of plans. Front setbacks: 70 ft for lots 1, 30, 31, 32, 33 (bordering CR 1022), 50 ft for all others. Side and rear setbacks are 10 ft minimum (greater encouraged). Fences: may not be nearer to street than the front building line; side/rear fences may be on property line if not in utility easements; street-facing fences must be wood, pipe, wrought iron, or masonry (no chain link or wire visible from street).
• Vehicles & storage: No junk yards, used car storage, or 'project' cars visible. Prolonged vehicle repair in public view limited to 24 hours. Boats, trailers, RVs, motor homes, and hobby vehicles must be stored in a garage or hidden behind a fence. No parking on lawn or street for prolonged periods. Driveways must be paved from garage to street and not cross drainage easements.
• Pets & livestock: Only household domestic pets are allowed on lots 1–11 and 23–33. Lots 12–22 may have no more than 1 horse, 1 cow, or 2 goats per acre. No commercial animal keeping. All animals must be fenced or in proper enclosures maintained sanitary.
• Landscaping & maintenance: Front yard must be landscaped within first year of occupancy. Lawns must be maintained and not exceed 6 inches in height. All residences must have a brick or cast iron mailbox. Trash must be kept in sanitary containers out of public view except on pickup day.
• Duration & enforcement: Covenants run with the land for 25 years from recording (October 2019), then auto-extend in 10-year periods unless a majority of lot owners vote to change them. Any lot owner may enforce restrictions via legal action. Invalidation of one covenant does not affect others.
• What this document doesn't cover: The document does not create a homeowners' association, impose mandatory fees or assessments, or establish common amenities. It does not address leasing or rental restrictions (other than commercial use ban), age restrictions, or specific architectural style beyond materials and setbacks.
