Is Rancho Del Lago right for your move?
Yes, if the home is the draw: executive builds by Carothers on wooded lots, about 16 minutes from BSW Temple with no traffic. No, if you need a dock, deeded waterfront or city sewer. Budget for Morgan's Point Resort city taxes and septic upkeep. HOA terms remain unverified: no management certificate was found in the September 30, 2026 state-database search, so obtain the recorded CCRs and current resale documents. Five sales in twelve months is a thin record; price each address on its own comparables.
Consider it if
- You want a newer executive-built home on a wooded lot and accept septic.
- Your daily drive runs to Belton or Temple; BSW Temple is about 16 minutes away with no traffic.
- You want Lake Belton close for shoreline walks and trailering a boat to a public ramp.
- You can budget current Morgan's Point Resort parcel taxes after verifying the taxing units, rates and exemptions.
Look elsewhere if
- You need a private dock or deeded waterfront; neither exists on Lake Belton's Corps shoreline.
- City sewer is a requirement; listings here show septic.
- Your budget tops out below the $525,000 low end of the October 3, 2026 asking range.
What have Rancho Del Lago homes actually sold for?
5 Rancho Del Lago sales closed from October 3, 2025–October 2, 2026; fewer than ten sales are shown by count only, without medians. The group uses Residential MLS records with City Belton, Temple or Morgans Point Resort and the stated subdivision-name variants, without a price screen or deduplication. The CTXMLS exports were observed September 2 and October 3, 2026; the September 2 export supplies closings through April 30, 2026 and the October 3 export supplies May 1 onward. With so few sales, ask your lender how the appraiser will find comparables before you offer near the top of the asking range.

Sources: the 2021–2025 rows use the local Bell County closed-sale history (the original extract of 29 recorded Rancho Del Lago sales, year built 2017–2024). The 2026 row uses 3 January 1–September 1 closings from the CTXMLS export observed September 2, 2026. The 29-record count and year-built range describe the original extract, not the sum of the rows above.
The original local closed-history extract holds 29 recorded Rancho Del Lago sales; that count is not the total of the updated yearly rows. Price per square foot was $258 in 2024 and $256 in 2025. Yearly medians swing more, $709,750 in 2022 and $674,500 in 2024, because each year holds one to twelve sales. The 2026 row is January 1 through September 1 only (3 sales, $660,000 median), taken from the 12-month export, so read it as a partial year.
What is for sale in Rancho Del Lago right now?
The CTXMLS status snapshot observed October 3, 2026 showed 3 Active listings and 1 pending. Asking prices ran $525,000–$869,000. The top is a 2026 Carothers build on Dos Rios at $869,000; that matches the builder’s Phase IV pricing of new homes from the $869,000s. The other actives are resales: a 2018 home on Roca Trail at $639,000 and a 2019 home on Rancho Del Lago Lane at $525,000 after 214 days. A 2017 home on Salta Court was pending, asking $660,000. This is a dated snapshot, not live availability.

3 Active plus 1 pending/under contract, observed October 3, 2026. Not live availability; confirm current status before an offer.
Three Active listings were observed October 3, 2026; the group is too small for a median. Market time alone does not establish negotiating leverage. It can also mean the price is ahead of the comparables or the home needs work. Ask for the price history, any failed contracts and concessions already offered. On a new build, get incentives, upgrades and the completion date in writing. Market time never replaces an inspection.
Who built Rancho Del Lago, and when?
Rancho Del Lago is essentially a one-builder subdivision. Carothers Executive Homes markets Phase IV on Airosa Drive with new homes from the $869,000s, plans of 2,379–3,960 sq ft and “large wooded lots” (builder page, accessed September 30, 2026). The local history dates the stock: six recorded sales each of 2017, 2018 and 2019 builds, a thinner 2020–2023 stretch, then six of 2024. Sampled listings showed lots of 0.53–0.65 acre. Plat dates and the developer were not confirmed. The lake photos on this page are context shots from Taylor’s earlier Lake Belton flights, not this subdivision; he has asked to shoot his own Rancho Del Lago aerials.

The first build-out: six recorded sales each for 2017, 2018 and 2019 builds. These are resales now, not builder-new homes, so ask for roof, HVAC, water-heater and septic service records instead of relying on age.
Few recorded sales carry 2020, 2021 or 2023 build years, and none 2022; then six carry 2024. One 2024 home on Bosque Lago closed in September 2025 after 265 days on market. Ask what builder warranty transfers to you.
Carothers markets Phase IV on Airosa Drive from the $869,000s. A 2026 build on Dos Rios listed at $869,000 on September 30, 2026. Get lot premium, upgrades and incentives in writing.

Year-built distribution of sales in the original 29-record local history extract. It counts sales records, not unique homes built, and it is a different cohort from the refreshed 2026 row in the history table.
The MLS builder field records Carothers Exec Homes, CAROTHERS EXECUTIVE and, among October 3 actives, Carothers Executive; two of five closed records leave it blank. A search on one spelling misses the others, and a blank field does not prove a different builder. For a resale, ask for the original builder contract, plan name and warranty paperwork.
What does it cost to own in Rancho Del Lago: HOA, taxes, city limits?
Start with the city line, because the mailing address points the wrong way. In the September 30, 2026 review, the U.S. Census geocoder placed every Rancho Del Lago address tested, including Phase IV, inside Morgan’s Point Resort city limits and Belton ISD; the MLS InCityLimits field reads Yes (4), Undefined (1). On the Bell CAD 2025 rate chart, dated September 30, 2025, that means a 0.6398 city rate with no city homestead or over-65 exemption listed, and about 2.124 per $100 before any college or ESD line. No MUD or PID appears. Belton ISD reports an adopted 2026–27 rate of 1.1177 per $100. The table below retains the 2025 rates for comparison; confirm every current taxing unit, rate and exemption on the parcel before budgeting. The Temple-area property tax guide shows how exemptions change a bill.

| Taxing entity | 2025 rate / $100 | Applies to |
|---|---|---|
| Bell County | 0.3128 | County-wide |

| Clearwater UWCD | 0.00223 | County-wide groundwater district |
| City of Morgan's Point Resort | 0.6398 | Inside Morgan's Point Resort limits, including Rancho Del Lago per the Census geocoder; no city homestead exemption listed |

| Sum of the five rows above | about 2.124 | Arithmetic on the official table, before any college or ESD line; not a bill |
| City of Belton (contrast only) | 0.5225 | Inside Belton city limits; does not apply to Rancho Del Lago |

Rates per $100 of taxable value. Use the parcel’s actual taxing units, taxable value and exemptions at Bell CAD; a neighborhood-wide percentage is not a bill.
HOA
The MLS HOA field reads Mandatory on all five closed records. The only sourced dues figure is $250 a year, on one Roca Trail listing record, and hoa.texas.gov showed no Rancho Del Lago management certificate by name or city on September 30, 2026. Portal snippets mention other dues, a “private fishing lake” and a “sport court”; none could be confirmed. Order the recorded CCRs, dues statement and resale certificate before the option period ends. Most “Rancho Del Lago HOA” search results describe Del Webb’s community in Vail, Arizona.
Utilities and service providers
- Water: listed as public; the City of Morgan's Point Resort runs its own system (Public Utilities, 254-674-9340). Confirm the provider.
- Wastewater: septic tank per listing records; the city lists no sewer service.
- Trash: Waste Management, per the city's utilities page.
- Electric: provider not confirmed; ask the seller for a recent bill.
- Internet: AT&T says fiber reaches parts of Morgan's Point Resort; check the FCC broadband map by address.
The mailing city and the taxing city differ. An estimate using Belton's 0.5225 city rate misstates the city line, which is Morgan's Point Resort's 0.6398, with no city homestead exemption on the 2025 chart. The school line still takes the $140,000 state homestead exemption on a primary residence. Read the parcel's taxing units at Bell CAD before trusting any estimate.
Which Belton ISD schools serve Rancho Del Lago?
Listings and Belton ISD's boundary map point Rancho Del Lago to High Point Elementary, North Belton Middle and Lake Belton High. In TEA's 2026 A–F ratings, released August 14, 2026, High Point received an F, North Belton Middle a B and Lake Belton High an A. Confirm the address in Belton ISD's Infofinder lookup.
Belton ISD redrew elementary boundaries for 2024–25 to open Burrell and Hubbard Branch elementaries; the district says middle and high school boundaries did not change, and the map is unchanged for 2026–27 (BISD attendance boundaries). On the district’s boundary map, the High Point zone covers Morgan’s Point Resort and the FM 2483 corridor. Lake Belton High, at 9809 FM 2483, opened in fall 2020 and sits about 1.8 road miles east of the subdivision entrance. TEA letters are dated state measures and a starting point for your own questions. Two cautions: there is no “Lake Belton ISD,” despite some listing remarks; and Lago Terra, 1.2 road miles away, is assigned to Lakewood Elementary (A in the same release). Compare assignments in the Belton ISD neighborhood guide.
How far is Rancho Del Lago from work?
OpenStreetMap routing estimates each trip from the middle of the subdivision (October 5, 2026, no traffic): BSW Temple is 8.7 miles, about 16 minutes; the Fort Hood main gate 25.1 miles, about 33 minutes; downtown Belton 7.5 miles. The entrance ties into Morgan’s Point Road (FM 2483), not TX-317 as builder marketing says. The table’s Cedar Ridge route ends at a fee park; the closest free 24-hour ramp is Rogers Park, 2.5 road miles in the commute table. Compare neighborhoods near BSW by commute.

Estimated October 5, 2026 with two routing engines (OSRM and Valhalla) on OpenStreetMap data, no traffic, from the middle of Rancho Del Lago’s platted lots (median of 117 Bell CAD parcel centers). Minutes average the two engines, with their range in parentheses where they differ by three or more; miles follow the OSRM route. Parking, gate lines and school drop-off are not included. Weekday peaks run 6–9 a.m. and 4–7 p.m. (Killeen-Temple MPO, 2023), so drive the route then before you commit. Route data © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL).
Test the route at your real departure time before you offer, from the actual home to your parking lot or gate. For Fort Hood, confirm your gate and allow for access checks. Run the school drop-off on FM 2483 at bell times. These estimates assume no traffic; they are not a rush-hour test.
What should you verify at a Rancho Del Lago property?
Inspect and Pump the Septic System
Listing records show public water with a septic tank, and the city lists no sewer service. Order an inspection with pumping, pull the county on-site sewage permit and ask for the maintenance history and system type. On wooded lots, ask the inspector about roots near the drain field.
Order the CCRs Before the Option Ends
No state management certificate for Rancho Del Lago turned up on September 30, 2026, and the only sourced dues figure is $250 a year on one listing. Request the recorded CCRs, bylaws, dues statement and architectural rules for fences, outbuildings and boat or trailer parking. See HOA restrictions in Temple and Belton.
Know Where Private Land Ends
Lake Belton’s shoreline is Corps of Engineers fee land, with a flowage easement to 642 feet. House sites here sit at about 663–690 feet (USGS point estimates); a lot sloping toward the cove still needs a survey. Owners may fence to the boundary, mowing needs a Corps permit and private structures are not allowed (Corps rules).
Plan the Boat Before the House
Private docks are not allowed anywhere on Lake Belton (Corps regulation ER 1130-2-406; Belton Lake Master Plan, December 2018). The Morgan’s Point Resort marina lists 148 slips, a waiting list of 75 to 100, a wait of approximately two years and a $50 application. Rogers Park’s free 24-hour ramp is 2.5 road miles away.
Expect the Shoreline to Move
State records show Lake Belton at 574.64 feet on October 22, 2023 and 612.45 feet on May 25, 2024, a 38-foot swing in seven months; conservation pool is 594 feet. On September 30, 2026 it read 592.11 feet, 94.7% full (Water Data for Texas). Cove views and ramp access change with the level.
Price Insurance Inside the Option Period
Sampled points in the subdivision map to FEMA Zone X, minimal flood hazard; still check the exact structure. Mature trees raise wind, hail and wildfire questions for an insurer, and no wildfire rating was sourced here, so check the Texas A&M Forest Service risk explorer. Get a written quote before the option period ends.
Rancho Del Lago or Lago Terra? How nearby options compare
Lago Terra, 1.2 road miles away off FM 2305, is the closest comparison and a different package: inside Temple city limits per the Census geocoder, on city water and sewer, assigned to Lakewood Elementary, with a double-gated Phase III whose back lots abut Corps land at a cove. Its 4 closings in the same window are too few for a median. High Crest’s InCityLimits field reads No on all eight closed records, which suggests no city tax line there; verify at Bell CAD.

Current-window groups with fewer than ten sales are shown by count only, without medians. Each row uses its own sales count from the same CTXMLS window, October 3, 2025–October 2, 2026. Colinas Del Lago (Killeen ISD) and Twin Mountains (south shore) are not neighbors of this subdivision.
Rancho Del Lago, Belton TX — Your Comparison Checklist
Commuting to BSW Temple
OpenStreetMap routing puts BSW Temple 8.7 miles and about 16 minutes from the middle of the subdivision, with no traffic (October 5, 2026). Drive it at your shift time to the parking you will use, and run the same test from Lago Terra on the FM 2305 side.
Reporting to Fort Hood
The main gate is 25.1 miles and about 33 minutes on the same October 5, 2026 estimate. Confirm your gate and report time, then test the drive with access checks included. A different gate can change the answer more than any median.
Walking the Shore or Keeping a Boat
Near the lake here means public Corps land about 0.3 mile straight-line away, not a private shoreline. If a boat is central, plan for the marina's roughly two-year waitlist or trailering to Rogers Park's free ramp, and read the HOA's trailer rules.
Septic and City Taxes in the Budget
Use current parcel taxes, documented HOA dues and septic maintenance in your budget. The 2025 chart's five-rate comparison was about 2.124 per $100; it is not a current parcel tax quote. Ask your lender to estimate with the parcel's actual taxing units, not a Belton default.
Shortlist Rancho Del Lago when the house, the lot and the trees are what you are buying, and the tax line, septic and HOA documents check out for the address. Skip it if a dock, deeded waterfront or city sewer is a requirement. With 5 sales in the 12-month window, price each home on its own comparables.
How to read the Rancho Del Lago numbers
“Newer homes and really nice mature trees, which is a hard combo to find here.”
The gated section where homes back up to the Corps land at the water’s edge is Lago Terra’s double-gated Phase III. Rancho Del Lago sits about 0.3 mile from the nearest cove, and no Lake Belton home gets a private dock. Subdivision-specific aerials remain planned; the existing lake images are context photographs.
5 Rancho Del Lago sales closed from October 3, 2025–October 2, 2026; fewer than ten sales are shown by count only, without medians. Weighing a resale against a new Carothers build? Ask what the newer home’s price buys that the older one does not: warranty, finishes, lot position and systems age.
The October 3, 2026 snapshot contains 3 Active listings, too few for a median. Market time does not establish the property’s condition or negotiating leverage. Ask for the price history and concessions, and let the inspection, not the calendar, set the price you pay.
The mailing address is the costliest misunderstanding here. The 2025 chart lists Morgan’s Point Resort’s city rate as 0.6398, with no city homestead exemption; the five listed historical rates sum to about 2.124 per $100 before any college or ESD line. Belton’s 0.5225 does not apply. Pull the Bell CAD record before a lender’s estimate becomes your budget.
