1355 Wendy Lane in Lucas is on 16.55 acres and stunning. Stunning. Let me put it to you this way: more than a million pounds of imported Colorado stone.
This Home Just Moves Colorado to North Texas
This property is at the far end of the actual road, with tremendous drive-up appeal and far removed from neighbors.
Oh and if 16-and-a-half acres is not enough for you, there are an additional 37 acres also for sale.
The home also has it’s own private sports court. Still, you can clearly make out the baseball field next door at 1010 Wendy.
This property is 8,938 square feet under roof with a guest house, two ponds, and off-road trails you can meander for hours. The guest house and airplane hangar-esque second garage for 24 cars measures 5,954 square feet under roof and both are fully loaded. This garage has an airplane hangar door with an engineered truss system that replicates the one at Cowboy Stadium, complete with an acrylic motorized sliding door that retreats along the side of the garage.
Behind this, there are four acres for a future horse pasture with pipe fencing right there in case you want to bring in a couple steeds.
Modern Design With Room to Spare
The main house is an exercise in cutting edge Modernist architectural beauty that took me back to homes I have toured in Mardis Camp at Lake Tahoe and Promontory, Utah.
The main house was engineered on the site to blend with the landscape, topography and capture beautiful sunsets from soaring walls of glass. It was also built with incredible structural integrity: a three-part foundation was used as well as more than one million pounds of Colorado Rock, which is so abundant on the property you almost think you are in the mountains. Interiors utilize Ipe wood in the trusses and beams.
“The home was purpose-built,” says agent Shana Acquisto of Acquisto Real Estate. “Walls consist of Leuders limestone, with many water features and rocks. The owners spend a lot of time in the Pacific Northwest, and thus brought in many of the building elements you find in those luxury mountain homes.”
It’s All on One Level
Essentially a one-story home with a full lower-level — too elegant to be called a basement — the home is divided into living wings connected by a central living area and kitchen that blows them all out of the park. Three bedrooms are up including the master, two down and of course, all en suite. There are two half baths. The master encompasses its own wing with a private terrace with killer sunset views. The master bath is a sight to behold: forget the walk-through shower, this home has a 12 by 12 ft shower ROOM with multiple spray heads! There is also the soaking tub, spacious vanities, and his and her walk-in closets, with hers to end all closets. Swarovski crystals adorn the handles and pulls and handles.
Trend: Bookmatched Granite ON THE WALL
The kitchen: oh my, where to begin? Thick slabs of quartz counters, four full slabs of granite on the back wall, bookmatched — watch this as an emerging trend in kitchen design — plus an entire refrigerator for vegetables, stainless steel cabinets, the highest end of luxe appliances all integrated, overlooking the grounds, the pool, and a custom-made 12-foot fireplace.
The lower level, accessible from the kitchen and living areas, has two ensuite bedrooms, a living area, a gaming nook (adorable) and is where you walk out to the resort pool and 75,000-gallon gunnite “thinking pond.”
While swimming you have full views of hundreds of Beau D’Arc trees, the bottom river and pond, and the whole country spectrum. Don’t worry about running out of water: the property has 46 sprinkler zones with a well and a pumping irrigation system, plus three 2,500-gallon water storage tanks. A full 10 acres are irrigated with Emerald Zoysia grass.
A Self-Watering Dog Bowl For Rover!
If you have pets, this home is more than accommodating. Right off the primary garage is a dog station connected to a large, fenced-in dog run. The station includes a complete outdoor dog washing/shower station and an autofill water tank so your pet is never without fresh water. In addition, there is a custom-built dog door to the temperature controlled garage with custom flooring.
You can see why the agent calls this “Bad-Ass Lucas Luxury”: listed with Shana Acquisto Real Estate for $12 million. Small price to pay for peace, quiet, architectural beauty AND your very own “thinking pond.”
