3 Beds ⋅ 3 Baths ⋅ 10192720 MLS ⋅ ACTIVE Status ⋅ Dreamer BLDG.

BUILD TO SUIT OPPORTUNITY! Because buying someone else's dream house is fine... but building yours is way more fun. Say hello to Dreamer, a brand-new Garman Homes floor plan coming to Ponder with 3-4 bedrooms, 2.5 -3 baths, and plenty of room for whatever you've been plotting. The main floor brings everyone together with an open concept layout centered around a generous kitchen — perfect for cooking, gathering, entertaining, and making questionable decisions about how much counter space you actually need. A private first floor study gives you a dedicated spot for working from home, hobbies, or that side hustle you've been promising yourself you'll start. Or choose to turn the study into a full guest suite! Upstairs, two secondary bedrooms join a spacious loft and a dreamy primary suite. The loft is basically a blank canvas: movie theater? Playroom? Craft headquarters? Nap zone? We support all of it. There's even an option to swap the first-floor study for a guest suite, because your house should be prepared for your future plot twists. And since this is build to suit, you get to make the important choices — finishes, options, colors, and all the little details that turn a floor plan into your home. Then take all that dreaming outside, because Ponder brings lake days, trails, fishing, kayaking, fire pits, parks, and plenty of reasons to close the laptop and go enjoy your life. Your dream. Your choices. Your Ponder. Now all that's left is deciding what you're going to dream up first.

A NEW plan coming to brand new Ponder. With 3-4 bedrooms, 2.5-3 baths, and a whole lot of flexibility, this one was made for living life your way. The main floor keeps things open and easy, with a spacious kitchen flowing into the living and dining areas. Add a dedicated study and you've got a legitimate place to work from home — rather than calling the kitchen island your "office" and hoping nobody notices the snack wrappers. Upstairs, two bedrooms, a full bath, laundry, and a versatile loft give you plenty of room to spread out. The primary suite creates a private place to recharge, because sometimes a little peace and quiet is exactly what the floor plan ordered. Need even more flexibility? There's an optional first-floor guest room in lieu of the study, giving you the freedom to tailor the home to the way you live now — and the way you might live later. Best of all, this isn't a "take it or leave it" situation. It's build to suit. Choose your finishes. Pick your options. Make the floor plan work for your life. Create something that feels less like a house you bought and more like a home you dreamed up. And outside your front door, Ponder brings the good stuff: Lake Ponder, trails, kayaking, fishing, Turtle Park, gathering spaces, fire pits, and a future Ponder House designed for working, relaxing, and enjoying the neighborhood. Your home. Your choices. Your Ponder. The stars are already above you. Now let's build the home underneath them.
