Welcome to Mark Hitz's local guide to The Tribute master planned homes community, The Colony Texas. Created in 2006, The Tribute is an unparalled lakefront, lakeview, golfing community on Lake Lewisville. Nestled between two world class golf courses and a 23,200–acre lake, The Tribute offers first class luxury amenities anchored by a spectacular clubhouse with restaurants and meeting facilities. This 1150–acre master–planned development will have beautiful amenity centers, resort–style pools, gardens, parks and playgrounds, on–site elementary school and middle school, over 6 miles of hike and bike trails, beautifully landscaped canals, and hundreds of acres of accessible open space that will provide a natural setting reminiscent of the Scottish Highlands – perfect for the Old World architecture that will be the signature look of The Tribute.

The Tribute at The Colony has 5 distinct villages, all inspired by the manor houses that dot the Scottish landscape. Homes available range from 2100 to 5200+ SqFt and pricing starts from the low $220's. Two amenity centers are available: one with a resort style pool and lush gardens and the other features a separate children's area with shaded pool spray park, playground, and picnic areas. Also available in the community are hike and bike trails, beautiful natural shoreline and greenbelt areas, and world class golf accessibility on the shores of Lake Lewisville. Future amenities include a second golf course (2009), beach club, and marina. Let's tour the completed models together and see why The Tribute is the place you will want to call home.

Golf The Tribute

If you love golf, get immersed in an atmosphere as historic as the grand tradition surrounding the British Open Championship. The Tribute Golf Club is a true links course, patterned after the legendary courses of Scotland and designed by the renowned golf architect Tripp Davis. Dallas' No.1 ranked public golf course boasts the finest elements of traditional Scottish golf, including wide-swept dunes, sea washed grasses and challenging water hazards. Even professional caddies and forecaddies stand ready to guide you through the course-helping you make the perfect approach, the ideal read and turning your round into an experience you won't soon forget.

The Tribute is located in The Colony less than 15 minutes from some of Dallas Fort Worth's finest and most popular retail, recreation and employment centers. These include Stonebriar Centre, The Shops at Legacy, the Dr Pepper Ballpark (Home of the Texas Rangers minor league affiliate, Frisco Rough Riders), Pizza Hut Park (Home of FC Dallas soccer club), 5-Star Soccer Park, Hawaiian Falls Water Park, Legacy Business Park and additional shopping and dining. The residents in this new home community will appreciate convenient access to these destinations via the Dallas North Tollway, State Highway 121 and Preston Road. School-aged residents will attend future on-site schools in the highly-acclaimed Little Elm Independent School District. The Little Elm school district purchased a 35-acre site at the north end of the community for two future schools.

The Tribute Schools

School-aged residents will attend future on-site schools in the highly-acclaimed Little Elm Independent School District. The school district purchased a 35-acre site at the north end of the community for two future schools. One will be an elementary school, and the grade level of the additional school will be based on the growth of the student population.

The Tribute: The Gardens

Imagine coming home to a golf-course community on one of the area’s most popular lakes. The Tribute, located in The Colony on the shores of Lake Lewisville, is what fine living is all about. The neighborhood’s star attraction is the highly rated British links-style golf course with its elegantly appointed clubhouse. Other features include two amenity centers, resort-style pools, gardens, parks and playgrounds, beautifully landscaped canals, over six miles of hike and bike trails, a beach club and a proposed future marina.

The homes in The Gardens village of The Tribute are equally impressive. Styles range from English Tudor, English Cottage and French Country and consist of the patio home feel on these 40' homesites. The relaxed European feel is right at home in this lakeside golf-course community. While still in its early stages, this distinctive neighborhood already has a unique feel unlike anything else in the Dallas area.

Villages in The Tribute

Five distinctive villages will feature a wide range of single family homes, golf villas, townhomes, and European condominiums overlooking the Tribute golf course and Lewisville Lake.

Builders

The Tribute showcases many of North Texas’s most prominent and distinguished builders offering homes built in English Cottage, French Country, English Palladian, French Provincial and English Tudor architectural styles, emphasizing the Old World-themed atmosphere of the community.

Architecture

Developers and home builders in The Tribute have gone to great lengths to create a community that has a unique look and feel. From the main entry, land forms and landscaping along Lebanon Road, to the light posts, street signs, individual village entries, and Old-World architectural style of the homes, no detail has been left to chance.

The Tribute is a place that looks great and feels right. It’s a community people fall in love with, without knowing why. With its unique characteristics and stunning environment, The Tribute is both a premier, sophisticated, well thought-out development based on strong design principles and a special place to live.

All homes built in The Tribute will be governed by a strict set of Architectural Guidelines. These Guidelines set the framework of what housing styles will be built in the development.
