Milestone Community Builders recorded a deed of trust with THMD Coast Bank on Oct. 27, 2026, pledging two lots inside its Saddle Ridge at Wildhorse Ranch community in Manor as collateral, according to the Travis County Clerk.

Why it matters

Saddle Ridge is a Milestone Community Builders community inside the Wildhorse Ranch master plan in Manor, east of Austin in Travis County. NewHomeSource lists its homes at roughly 1,700 to 2,855 sq ft. A lot-level deed of trust is routine construction or lot-takedown financing, not a sign of trouble. It does show which parcels the builder is now carrying debt against. For builders and agents tracking Milestone’s pace in Manor, a filing tied to named lots points to ground that is actually moving.

The numbers

The deed of trust covers Lot 6 of Block K and Lot 11 of Block M, both part of the Saddle Ridge at Wildhorse Ranch North Ranch 1 final plat, per the instrument’s legal description. Travis County’s clerk index does not carry a loan amount or sale price on deed records, so no dollar figure is reported here. The filing is instrument number 2026127309, recorded Oct. 27, 2026, with Milestone Community Builders LLC as borrower and THMD Coast Bank as lender. A deed of trust secures a loan against the land. It does not transfer ownership, so Milestone still holds both lots.

What’s next

Watch for more deed-of-trust filings against other blocks in the same plat as Milestone takes down lots. Read together, those filings are the clearest free record of how fast Saddle Ridge is filling in. More on the metro’s building activity is tracked on Austin.
