Scarcity is the whole story
Only 15 of the 107 homesites touch Cow Bay. Direct-frontage supply inside a metro-adjacent plat cannot be added later, which is why those lots are held at $1.2M–$1.65M and released by waitlist priority.
The Value
What sets the price on each homesite
Three collections, one pricing method: the ground, the view and the water decide the number — and every number traces back to the source pricing sheet.
Direct Cow Bay frontage
Lakeshore Collection
from $1,200,000
Fifteen direct-shoreline homesites on Cow Bay (Lots 93–107) — walkout grades, south-facing bay exposure and protected wetland views.
Walkout / view homesites
Bluff & Walkout Collection
from $180,000
Fifty-one elevated and walkout homesites along the south ridge and open-space corridors — long views, premium cul-de-sacs and generous rear yards.
Standard & wider interior product
Village Collection
from $120,000
Forty-one walkable homesites in the north and east village, steps from Carriage Hills Pkwy, the trails and the future waterfront district.
Pricing as of 21 Aug 2026 · premium methodology
- List price = standardized base lot price + one composite lot premium (Vierling Shores base lot pricing + lot premium schedule, 21 Aug 2026). The premium is the portion of the price attributable to position, walkout potential, open-space exposure, cul-de-sac geometry, privacy or lakefront quality — it is not an increase above the current lot values.
- Base lot prices are standardized: $120,000 for lots 1–37, 47–50 and $180,000 for lots 26–92; direct Cow Bay shoreline carries a $995,000 lakefront base.
- Each homesite receives ONE composite premium ($0 – $105,000 on non-lake lots), graded from plan-based attributes only. Premium categories are never stacked line by line, so features buyers read as a single benefit are not double-counted.
- Lakeshore homesites (lots 93–107) show a $0 premium: direct Cow Bay frontage is already priced inside the $1,200,000 – $1,650,000 lakeshore band.
- The plan supports relative ranking, not final legal or buildable value. Final plat, survey, grading, shoreline rights and assessments must be verified before prices are released.
- Every displayed figure traces to a schedule row, and pricing or premium changes are recorded in the admin audit log with a before/after entry.
- Prices, premiums and availability are preliminary and subject to change without notice until a purchase agreement is signed. Expected sale figures are market-positioning estimates, not guaranteed values or a licensed appraisal.

An entry point behind the water
Village homesites begin at $120,000, so a buyer can own inside a lakeside community — restaurant, trails, boat slips, preserved shoreline — without buying frontage.
Premiums that follow the ground, not the mood
One composite lot premium — $0–$20,000 on village homesites and up to $105,000 on bluff positions — is priced into each list price against grade, exposure and proximity to the bay and open space. Every displayed number traces back to the source pricing sheet row.
