    Home Sweet Home

    Your first look inside this top-notch new home community near Rockwall

    May 22, 2024 | 12:00 pm

    There's something wonderful happening near Rockwall, in the city of McLendon-Chisholm. A new master-planned community called Horizon Lakes is in the works, and it's going to be unlike any neighborhood you've seen before.

    Welcome home
    Horizon Lakes is the latest from developer Huffines Communities, which is renowned for crafting excellent communities that include residential, commercial, and recreational areas.

    But no two Huffines communities are the same. When finished, Horizon Lakes will have approximately 1,800 homes spread over 900 acres, and currently offers its future residents a range of carefully chosen lot sizes upon which to build their dream home.

    Families can enter into the A-rated Rockwall Independent School District, and this picturesque community is a stone's throw away from Rockwall's vibrant shopping, dining, and entertainment options, ensuring that everything you need is within easy reach.

    All the amenities
    One of the best parts about living in a master-planned community is the plethora of amenities. At Horizon Lakes, you'll of course find lush landscaping and two luxurious entrances, but the perks continue throughout the property.

    A family pool with kiddie splash pad is balance by an adult pool and a swim-up bar, plus a kayak launch into one of the three recreational lakes (which do allow fishing!).

    An outdoor grill area and fire pits encourage get-togethers with your neighbors, while the kids will have several fun playgrounds to monkey around on.

    More than 12 miles of hike and bike trails wind through the community, and there's a top-notch fitness center when AC is a must. Pickleball fanatics can play to their heart's content at the pickleball complex, which offers four courts for countless hours of play.

    There's even an outdoor amphitheater, grand ballroom, and event chapel for concerts and celebrations of all kinds.

    The value of a Huffines development
    Huffines communities bring exceptional value to the areas they develop, and Horizon Lakes is no exception.

    The firm's commitment to thoughtful community planning ensures long-term benefits for residents and the surrounding region. By integrating residential and recreational spaces, Huffines developments create vibrant neighborhoods that enhance the quality of life for residents.

    Former Arlington Mayor Jeff Williams has praised Huffines for its transformative impact, saying, "Donald and Phillip Huffines are visionary leaders who are wonderful people with a tremendous track record in land development. Their many successful projects over the decades are evidence they are some of the vest developers in Texas. For example, Viridian Master Planned Community was valued at $8 million in 2009. Today, in only 15 years, the value has risen to $2.1 billion! The Huffines under-promise and over-deliver in all aspects of their developments. I am hoping they find additional opportunities in Arlington and throughout Texas."

    Learn more today
    For nearly 40 years, Huffines Communities has been developing some of the most iconic communities in North Texas, including Solterra Texas in Mesquite and Inspiration in Wylie.

    Horizon Lakes is located at 1511 Pullen Rd., just seven minutes off I-30. Head here to learn more and sign up for the latest news.

    A sprawling, 13-acre waterfront estate about two hours south of Dallas is hitting the auction block. Bidding on the Oxbow Overlook estate, just outside the Central Texas town of Belton, is scheduled to start February 13 on the Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions website.

    The sale process will conclude February 28 when the estate is featured at ModaMiami, a luxury event hosted by South Florida’s Biltmore Miami-Coral Gables.

    The property, at 8536 Armstrong Rd., is co-listed at $5.95 million by Debbie Stevenson of Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty. Bidding will start at $2 million to $2.5 million.

    “This incomparable offering perfectly captures the essence of refined Hill Country living,” Stevenson says. “From its serene creekside setting and acres of privacy to its remarkable architectural details, Oxbow Overlook delivers a level of craftsmanship and lifestyle that is rarely available.”

    Built in 2001 of native limestone and stone, the French Provincial-inspired main house boasts a 24-foot entry wall made of iron and glass, and a grand foyer crowned by a 31-foot copper dome ceiling. The ceiling hovers above an oak staircase with copper accents.

    Other highlights of Oxbow Overlook’s nearly 7,000-square-foot main house include:

    • Six bedrooms
    • Five full bathrooms and two half-bathrooms
    • Seven fireplaces
    • Three laundry rooms
    • Wet bar
    • Eat-in kitchen
    • Elevator access to second story
    • Home office
    • Game room
    • Exercise pool with swim jets and spa
    • Outdoor kitchen
    • Covered and open patios
    • Coffered and beamed ceilings
    • Crown molding
    • Indoor and outdoor fireplaces
    • Generac backup generator

    The property includes a separate 3,118-square-foot carriage house.

    Oxbow Overlook is close to Belton Lake, Stillhouse Hollow Lake, Salado, and Temple.

    “Designed to embrace its natural surroundings, creekside walls, and outdoor living spaces conform to the bluff’s natural curve, offering spectacular views across the property and showcasing thoughtful conveniences at every turn,” Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions says.
