Set lakeside in the gated 2,177-acre retreat of Cross Pines Ranch – just 90 minutes from Dallas – this custom-built ranch-style residence presents 3 spacious bedrooms and 3 baths across 3,064 sq ft, surrounded by 5.02 serene acres. Designed by Gary Covert, AIA, the home blends refined simplicity with effortless countryside charm.
Walls of windows bring the lake’s calm edge into the living spaces, where a stone-clad fireplace anchors the open floor plan and invites relaxed gatherings. The kitchen is crafted for comfort and ease—natural stone counters, kitchen island, built-in pantry, and a seamless transition to the porch and yard make daily life and entertaining equally welcoming.
Outside, the home embraces its setting with a covered porch overlooking the lake and expansive yard, mature trees, and the peaceful rhythm of nature. The 5-acre homesite offers rare privacy while granting full access to Cross Pines Ranch amenities: equestrian center with ranch horses, stocked fishing lakes, trail riding, a private clubhouse and pool, and full-time ranch staff maintaining the property and experience.
For those who seek a true ranch lifestyle with elegant yet approachable living, this offering delivers both refuge and refinement in a community built for those who want life to move at their pace.
Directions: From the Intersection of HWY 69 and FM 49, take FM 49 East for 10.1. Miles. Entrance is on the right.
