Taylor Dasch · EG Realty · About Taylor and his work
Does Blackland Ranch meet your buying criteria?
Compare written builder specifications before treating different asking prices as equivalent homes. Start with the purchase budget, actual route, usable lot and recurring charges. These dated records support a comparison; they do not establish current availability or the value of a specific property.
Consider it if
- The actual home meets your budget, condition and usable-lot requirements.
- You have reviewed the parcel’s written fees, restrictions and tax account.
- The real route works for your travel needs.
Look elsewhere if
- A required property document or address-level assignment cannot be confirmed.
- The actual recurring costs or route exceed your limits.

Source scope and window completeness are unverified. Individual sold-property prices are not displayed. Historical annual rows use a separate selected January 2021–February 13, 2026 extract, not a complete census.
Which build years appear in the recorded sales?
Bar length uses one count scale; each number is a recorded closing, not the total number of homes built.
How should you use the sale-price evidence?
These are aggregate comparisons. Individual sold prices are not displayed. Ask Taylor for a property-specific comparison through the permitted client process.

Who built Blackland Ranch, and when?
Recorded build years in this cohort span 2025–2026 (n=12). CTXMLS supplied records, October 12, 2025–October 11, 2026, observed October 12, 2026. Builder-name entries are: Carothers Exec Homes: 9; Jarolik Homes: 1; Jarolik Homes LLC: 1; not recorded: 1. A blank field means not recorded, not proof of who built the home. The new-construction guide explains specifications and written terms. Phase labels below retain their dated Bell CAD/document evidence; current HOA and warranty applicability require the exact property documents.
The Bell County final plat and Bell CAD legal descriptions identify Phase 1. The mapped selection contains 166 parcel centers, read October 5, 2026. This is not a count of finished homes. Match the property to its recorded lot and any later replat.
The selected local history extract has 5 sale records marked built in 2024 and 3 marked built in 2025. Its coverage stops February 13, 2026. These build-year counts describe that extract only; they do not establish the first home or the date the neighborhood opened.
Recorded build years among 5 Active entries: 2025: 5. CTXMLS supplied snapshot observed October 12, 2026; current availability and completion status require confirmation.

Temple's June 30, 2026 quarterly report lists a Blackland Ranch cost-sharing agreement and Blackland Road improvements or connection work with September 2026 targets. The report was read October 5, 2026; it does not prove completion. Check the city's current project record and drive the approach before relying on a future connection.
What are Blackland Ranch’s HOA and parcel tax costs?
The tax components shown are from Bell CAD’s 2025 Tax Rate Table, dated September 30, 2025 and rechecked October 14, 2026. They apply to tax-year-2025 comparisons, not a promised 2026 bill. Read the taxing entities, exemptions and assessments on the individual parcel; there is no single all-in neighborhood tax percentage. Read the current parcel at Bell CAD property search and use the property-tax guide.

The historical components below is arithmetic for a sampled entity set, not a promised bill.
Which district and campuses serve Blackland Ranch addresses?
Bell CAD’s 2026 certified export dated September 22, 2026, read October 14, lists Temple ISD as the school taxing entity for all 166 matched Blackland Ranch parcels. Confirm the enrollment address and campus with the district.
MLS district entries are Temple ISD: 12 across 12 closings (CTXMLS supplied records, October 12, 2025–October 11, 2026, observed October 12, 2026.). The CAD records take precedence for this tax-district description; attendance remains an address-level district decision. Campus feeders: confirm with the district. Use the school-address lookup guide. Three exact-address Infofinder checks on October 14, 2026 returned the same school result set. The list includes program or choice options, so confirm the address-specific campus and eligibility with the district. District lookup resources: Belton ISD Infofinder; Temple ISD; Academy ISD.
What can you verify about Blackland Ranch drive times?
Routes are estimated from the median of the matched Bell CAD parcel centers, using local OpenStreetMap OSRM and Valhalla engines. Only verified destination approaches enter the table; failed or disputed routes stay drive estimate pending. The engines do not model traffic. The BSW route comparison provides broader destination context.
Scroll the table if columns extend beyond the screen.
| Destination | Road miles | Estimated drive (no traffic) |
|---|---|---|
| Baylor Scott & White Temple main-campus vehicle entrance (Scott Boulevard) | 2.5–2.8 mi | 5 min average; engine range 5–6 min |
| Fort Hood Bernie Beck main-gate approach | 28.7–28.9 mi | 33 min average; engine range 29–36 min |
| Temple City Hall / downtown (North Main Street approach) | 3.5–7.0 mi; engines differ by 3.44 mi (>0.3 mi) | 9 min average; engine range 8–10 min |
| Temple College (South 1st Street campus entrance) | 1.9–2.0 mi | 4 min average; engine range 4–5 min |
| Temple High School (North 31st Street vehicle approach) | 4.5–6.9 mi; engines differ by 2.43 mi (>0.3 mi) | 9 min average; engine range 9–10 min |
| Nearest evaluated H-E-B: H-E-B South 31st Street vehicle entrance | 2.3–2.6 mi | 5 min average; engine range 5–6 min |
| Dana Peak verified Comanche Gap entrance / full nearest-park comparison | Unresolved engine access | drive estimate pending |
Engine range is the two engines’ time range, not a prediction interval. Parking, school drop-off and gate queues are excluded. School destinations are reference locations, not assigned campuses. Drive your finalist home’s actual route before relying on a time limit.
What should you inspect in a recent Blackland Ranch home?
Document slab and drainage conditions
For this recent-build cohort, ask the independent inspector to document visible slab, grading and drainage conditions. Compare findings with the survey and builder records. Check whether water drains away from the house and whether neighboring unfinished lots affect runoff. These are inspection questions, not allegations of defects.
Compare the home with the contract
Record which finishes, landscaping, fencing and appliances are included and complete. Walk the home against the written specification and punch list. Clarify who completes open items and how that obligation is documented. Compare new-construction purchase checks before relying on a model-home presentation.
Identify the responsible builder
Confirm the legal builder, warranty administrator, start date and transfer terms for the actual home. The MLS builder field is an attribution, not a warranty contract. Request inspection and repair records when the home has been occupied, and check whether any promised work remains outstanding.
Read the survey and setback lines
Match the fence, driveway and planned additions to the survey, easements and recorded plat. The cohort median lot does not describe every property. Verify usable yard space on site, then read the HOA approval rules before budgeting for a fence change, patio or accessory structure.
Check the improvement value
Compare the appraisal account with the home as completed. Ask for a lender estimate using the property’s actual taxing units and likely completed-home value. Review any assessment separately from the tax rate. A seller’s older bill or escrow amount is not a promise of your ownership cost.
Check the building footprint
FEMA returned Zone X at the neighborhood’s median parcel center in the October 5, 2026 source query. That point does not establish a lot-wide or subdivision-wide flood result. Check the structure, lot edges and drainage easements on the current map, and request an insurance quote for the address.
Separate price from financing terms
Compare the same floor plan and construction type before treating a lower active ask as a bargain. Obtain any incentive, rate condition, lender requirement and expiration in writing. No current incentive is verified here. An offer comparison should show purchase price, financed cost, included work and recurring charges together.
Verify the actual road connection
The city’s June 30, 2026 report carried September targets for Blackland-area projects. Do not assume those targets were met. Check current access and construction conditions on your route. A planned connection cannot support a commute promise until the city confirms its status and the road is usable.
How should you compare Blackland Ranch with other areas?
Compare written builder specifications before treating different asking prices as equivalent homes. Compare each area on its stated scope, the particular home and its costs. Hartrick combines Ranch, Valley and Crossing. Use the guide directory for published alternatives.
Scroll the table if columns extend beyond the screen.
| Cohort | Median sold and n | Recorded range | Median MLS DOM and n | Recorded build years |

| Stonegate | $273,500 (n=15) | $233,260–$359,000 | 39 days (n=15) | 2005–2015 |

Which buying priorities make Blackland Ranch worth comparing?
A complete monthly budget
Use the closed cohort as a starting point, then add address-specific taxes, insurance and verified HOA dues. Keep price credits separate from permanent monthly costs. Shortlist only homes whose completed-home budget fits your ceiling.
A route you have tested
Check the actual property and current documents. A neighborhood-level table cannot establish your particular route, fees or restrictions. Compare the written terms and verify any unresolved condition before making the purchase decision.
Recent construction and usable space
Compare the surveyed yard, setbacks and easements alongside the recorded build year. Recent construction still needs inspection and completion records. If your priority is an older house or more usable land, widen the search based on those criteria.
Rules you can accept
Check the actual property and current documents. A neighborhood-level table cannot establish your particular route, fees or restrictions. Compare the written terms and verify any unresolved condition before making the purchase decision.
Compare written builder specifications before treating different asking prices as equivalent homes. Shortlist the actual home only after its budget, route, condition, lot and documented obligations work for your plans.

Is Blackland Ranch inside Temple city limits?
The saved Bell CAD centroid overlay read October 5, 2026 classifies 166 matched parcels as CITY OF TEMPLE: 166. Mailing locality and MLS City do not establish legal jurisdiction. Confirm current jurisdiction for the actual parcel; historical ETJ mapping does not establish current release status.
Which tax rates should a Blackland Ranch buyer use?
The table shows individual components from the September 30, 2025 Bell CAD chart for tax-year-2025 statements. It is not a 2026 bill or an all-in neighborhood percentage. Use the parcel’s actual taxing units, taxable values, exemptions and separately billed assessments.
Which school district serves Blackland Ranch?
Bell CAD’s 2026 certified export dated September 22, 2026, read October 14, lists Temple ISD as the school taxing entity for all 166 matched Blackland Ranch parcels. Confirm the enrollment address and campus with the district. Three exact-address Infofinder checks on October 14, 2026 returned the same school result set.

Recorded build years span 2025–2026 (n=12). CTXMLS supplied records, October 12, 2025–October 11, 2026, observed October 12, 2026. Build year does not establish phase recording, equipment age, builder warranty or condition.
How should you read the Blackland Ranch drive estimates?
The route table uses local OpenStreetMap OSRM and Valhalla results from a median parcel center to checked destination approaches. Reported minutes are the engine average with both engines’ range and no traffic. A failed or unresolved pair remains drive estimate pending. Parking, gate queues and drop-off are separate.
What does the area flood check prove for a Blackland Ranch home?
The saved FEMA query read October 5, 2026 returned Zone X at the median parcel center only. It does not classify every lot or structure. Check the actual footprint, drainage, easements and insurance separately; a photograph does not establish access rights.
