Why Granbury’s Climate Stands Out

Granbury, 35 miles southwest of Fort Worth, enjoys a humid subtropical climate with mild winters (60°F avg) and hot summers (95°F avg). Pecan Plantation’s 6,236 residents (2020 census) and The Landings East’s 110 lots sold in 2024 benefit from 255 flyable days (FAA data), making 66TE’s 3,400-foot runway a year-round hub. A 2024 National Weather Service report notes Granbury’s 37 inches of annual rainfall, supporting lush landscapes and Lake Granbury’s 17-mile shoreline.

“I fly from 66TE almost every week… Granbury’s weather makes it easy to live adventurously.”

A Pilot’s Paradise: Flying from 66TE

The Landings East’s 66TE runway, with its fuel station and taxiway lots (0.65–2.5 acres, $189,900–$350,000), is built for pilots. The CC&Rs ensure taxiways stay clear (no planting, Article III.B.11), and LAOA members enjoy exclusive access (Article III.C.7), with golf carts allowed (Article II.C). Granbury’s 255 flyable days—clear or partly cloudy—outshine Dallas’s 230 (FAA data). Summers (85–95°F) offer long flying hours, while winters (40–60°F) are mild for VFR flights.

What’s the Flying Like?

EAA Chapter 983’s 1,566 Young Eagles flights at 66TE and 0TX1 show Pecan Plantation’s aviation passion.

Summer: Hot Days, Endless Adventures

Granbury’s summers (June–August, 85–95°F, 30% humidity) are perfect for flying and outdoor fun. The Landings East’s taxiways lead to 66TE’s runway, where pilots enjoy 15-hour daylight windows. Pecan Plantation’s marina hosts boating on Lake Granbury, and two golf courses (Nutcracker, Country Club, par 72) buzz with tournaments (1,200 members, 2024 data). Dog parks (30% of households have pets) and the community garden’s 50 plots thrive in the heat.

How’s Summer Living?

The CC&Rs ban lot pollution (Article III.B.20), keeping Pecan Plantation pristine despite summer rains (10 inches, 2024 data).

Winter: Mild and Flyable

Winters (December–February, 40–60°F) are Granbury’s secret weapon, with 70% clear days (National Weather Service). 66TE pilots fly comfortably, and Pecan Plantation’s equestrian centers and trails stay active. The country club’s pool closes, but indoor events (1,200 members) keep the community connected.

Any Winter Challenges?

Occasional freezes (2–3 days below 32°F, 2024 forecast) are rare, but pilots check 66TE’s runway conditions via LAOA. The CC&Rs require flood elevation compliance (Article III.C.3) for winter rains (8 inches).

Spring and Fall: The Sweet Spots

Spring (March–May, 60–80°F) and fall (September–November, 65–85°F) offer ideal flying and living conditions. 66TE’s runway sees peak EAA fly-ins, and taxiways bustle with LAOA members. Pecan Plantation’s amenities shine: golf courses host 2024 championships, the marina sees 500 anglers (tournament data), and dog parks hum. The community garden’s fall harvest (50 plots) draws residents, and 10% property value growth (2024 Texas Real Estate Research Center) boosts The Landings East’s appeal.

What’s Seasonal Life Like?

The CC&Rs of the almost 60 subdivisions in Peacn Plantation ensure lots stay tidy (Article III.A.7), enhancing seasonal beauty.

Flood Risks and CC&R Protections

Granbury’s 37 inches of annual rainfall (2024 data) and the Brazos River pose flood risks for some lots. The CC&Rs mandate home elevations match the Plat (Article III.C.3) and positive drainage (Article III.B.19). Pecan Plantation’s security and LAOA’s taxiway maintenance (Article III.A.17) mitigate issues, ensuring 66TE remains operational. A 2024 FEMA report notes minimal flooding in gated communities like Pecan Plantation.

Pecan Plantation’s Amenities: Year-Round Joy

Pecan Plantation’s amenities complement Granbury’s climate. Two golf courses, a marina, two dog parks, a community garden, equestrian centers, pools, and gated security make every season vibrant. The country club’s 1,200 members host year-round events, and 66TE’s runway and taxiways (enclosed hangars, Article III.B.9) keep pilots flying. Dues ($150–$200/month, 2024 estimate) and LAOA fees (Airport Lots) fund this lifestyle.

What’s the Community Vibe?

The CC&Rs’ elegance (75% masonry, Article III.B.3) ensures a polished backdrop. 75% of each home’s exterior must be finished in masonry such as stone, brick, or stucco.
