Inspiration is a master planned community on the western shores of Lake Lavon in Collin County, Texas. Encompassing almost 600 acres, it is envisioned as a sustainable lakefront community providing resort-style amenities, design, and value. The site is comprised of rolling topography and wooded draws forming several small watersheds draining into Lake Lavon. The existing site is primarily grazed grassland with stands of eastern red cedar, cedar elm, oaks, and black willow in the lowlands. The land plan takes advantage of ridges with panoramic views as well as lush drainage ways creating a plan that coexists with the native landscape while accommodating development. At the main entry, the central spine road is flanked with lots facing the collector road while providing a social integration that invites visitors into the community. These diverse site characteristics define the neighborhood parcels, predominantly organized around preserved ponds and open space, intermittent streams, passive parks, and community amenities.
