There's luxury. Then there's 236 Summer Tanager.
Behind the gates of Shepherds Highlands — one of Heath's most sought-after communities — this estate sits on a nearly one-acre lot where the backyard opens to private green space, a pond, and views that stretch all the way to the Dallas skyline at sunset. Privacy like this doesn't come around often.
Over 6,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space delivers five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a private home office, formal dining room, expansive game room, and flex spaces built to grow with you. Rich hardwood floors, custom trim, detailed molding, and dual staircases give every room a polished, intentional feel. The gourmet kitchen is built to perform — large island, generous cabinetry, built-in side-by-side refrigerator — with a wet bar and wine cooler right around the corner. The main-level owner's suite is a true retreat: spa-inspired bath, oversized walk-in shower, and the kind of privacy that makes you exhale.
The backyard is the kind you don't leave. Custom heated pool and spa, expansive outdoor living, an attached grill, and unobstructed greenbelt and water views — all behind the gates, all yours.
A whole-home Generac generator, three-car garage, air scrubbers on all three HVAC systems, Ecobee smart thermostat with room sensors, and security within a gated community mean this home works as hard as it looks. Exclusive access to a private 10-acre bird sanctuary with walking trails and a stocked pond, plus easy access to Lake Ray Hubbard, round out a location that's hard to beat.
Zoned to Amy Parks-Heath Elementary. This home checks all the boxes!
Directions: Use GPS Ridge Rd south to Heath, enter through private gates.
