​​​GBPOA BOARD MEETING
Jan 27th, 10:30am

at the PK Family Health Clinic Bldg​​​

Join you neighbors on Nextdoor!​​



Interact with Gaines Bend,

the Cliffs,

Sportsman's World,

the West Side..

Premier Land Liquidators (premierdevinc.com) out of North Carolina purchased, platted and sold 86 lots within the Gaines Bend Subdivision. This area, named the Reserve at Gaines Bend (RGB), consists of a few lakefront properties but the majority are located within the interior of Gaines Bend. Some of these properties are listed as lake-view. 


A Shared Facilities Agreement, which defines how the two Gaines Bend and RGB POA CCRs (Regulations) will interact, was certified, filed and recorded on January 6, 2022. RGB will not be pursuing any further development within Gaines Bend. 

​​​​​​​​​Gaines Bend is our family friendly lake community located within a 1,000 acre subdivision on Possum Kingdom Lake's eastern shoreline.


Nearly 300 families own property in Gaines Bend today- and while many have moved to the lake full-time, the majority use their homes as their vacation sanctuary. 


A working cattle ranch, deer and other wildlife add to the natural appeal and charm of Gaines Bend, arguably one of the more desirable communities on Possum Kingdom Lake. ​​

REMODELING AND NEW CONSTRUCTION

The GBPOA Architectural Control Committee (ACC) must approve any building before the start of your project.  This includes interior remodeling and most landscaping projects.  If in doubt, check with the Committee Chair first. To get started, read the Construction Rules that accompany the Permit Request.


A copy of the Gaines Bend Covenants and Restrictions is also provided below in case you’re interested in some light reading. If you or your children operate any off-road vehicles (ATV, Mule, etc.), you should be aware of the ORV Rules Gaines Bend Development has implemented, and the Release they want you to sign to use an ORV within the development. Those documents are provided below for your convenience.


Lastly, the GBPOA Bylaws and all other documents can be downloaded with a simple click on any of the appropriate highlighted text. Please let us know if there’s any other information we can post here for your convenience. 


As always, an E–mail to give us some feedback on the new site and what you need from yourBoard of Directors is always appreciated!


FRONT GATE TOLL TAG ACCESS

Since the community at Possum Kingdom Lake is not incorporated as a public entity, there is no single voice for members of the community. PKLA provides that voice. We respond to the needs of the community and provide a forum for development of ideas and discussion of matters of concern to our members. When communication with elected officials is needed, PKLA is a respected voice because of our thousand-member association. PKLA provides organized and funded community support for those services that our members often need such as fire and ambulance service as well as community activities which benefit all of our members. Click on the logo above to join. 

Rawhide Vistas is an area of Gaines Bend that was under development by Gaines Bend Development. Rawhide Vistas, Block 3, was purchased by Premier as part of RGB Phase I. This purchase included the Rawhide Vistas Block 3, Lots 2-25.
