Montague County Growth Brings New Attention to Large-Acreage Living Near Saint Jo

NLP of North Texas plans Oct. 24 opening of The Vistas at Clear Creek as county population rises 9.8% from its 2020 estimates base

SAINT JO, Texas, Oct. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As population growth and elevated rural land values continue to shape North Texas, NLP of North Texas, an affiliate of National Land Partners, announced plans to open The Vistas at Clear Creek, a new large-acreage community near Saint Jo in Montague County. The community will open Saturday, Oct. 24, 2026, with a limited release of 10- to 12-acre homesites. To schedule a private tour or priority sales appointment, call 877-333-8830.

U.S. Census Bureau estimates show Montague County reached 21,966 residents on July 1, 2025, up 9.8% from the April 1, 2020, estimates base. In the second quarter of 2026, The Texas Real Estate Research Center reported that statewide rural land prices were 3.27% higher than a year earlier, with a five-year annualized growth rate of 8.17%.

The Vistas at Clear Creek reflects several priorities that have become increasingly important to rural property buyers. Each homesite offers road frontage and its own private gated entrance. Electric service and high-speed internet are available, and buyers may purchase now and build later with no required construction timeline and may select their own builder. The community will not have a Property Owners Association.

The property includes a mix of open pastureland, mature trees and long-range views, along with abundant deer and wild turkey. Saint Jo's shopping, dining, medical care and everyday services are nearby, while Dallas is approximately one hour away and Fort Worth is about 1.5 hours away.

"The profile of the rural buyer has changed," said Ryan Fitzhugh, property manager for The Vistas at Clear Creek. "Acreage and privacy remain important, but reliable internet, access to daily services and flexibility around when and how to build now carry far more weight in the decision. The Vistas at Clear Creek was planned around that combination."

Grand Opening Details
The Vistas at Clear Creek grand opening will be held Saturday, Oct. 24, 2026. A limited number of homesites will be included in the initial release. Private property tours and priority appointments are available in advance.

• 10-plus-acre homesites with no POA from $149,900
