If you’ve been in the market for a lake house just steps from the water, here’s a chance to pick up a one-acre, 4,300-square-foot home on Lake Whitney at auction with no reserve.
The traditional 2001-built home at 1243 Overlook Drive is valued at $800,000 with complete furnishings inside, but it’ll go to the highest bidder on Feb. 4 in this Heritage Auctions luxury estate auction. Preview the home from 1 to 4 p.m. Friday, January 31 to Monday, February 3 before the live auction Tuesday.
“The home is perched on a bluff overlooking the lake on a rare 1+acre lot,” says Nate Schar, director of luxury real estate for Heritage Auctions. “This incredible, one of a kind custom estate is located within the guard-gated community of White Bluff Resort.”
Located south of Fort Worth just 90 minutes from Dallas, Lake Whitney is particularly stunning because of its cliffs and bluffs that provide a gorgeous contrast of white rock, blue water, and green landscape. The White Bluff Resort overlooking Lake Whitney is a surprisingly affordable option for lake living in North Texas.
Built into the bluff at Lake Whitney, this custom-built home was last listed for $725,000. The water view home has three bedrooms, three full baths, and four half-baths with 4,391 square feet.
Plus, if you’ve got expansion in mind, 1243 Overlook Drive is located on two bluff lots on a generous 1.03 acre lot, which can be subdivided. Four lots total are included in the sale.
Beauty Inside
Inside, you’ll find custom features like extensive moldings, double cornices, and art niches throughout. The living room has built-in cabinets, exposed timbers in the ceiling, and a stone woodburning fireplace with gas starter.
The gourmet kitchen features Thermador appliances, built-in SubZero refrigerator/freezer with icemaker, breakfast bar, butler’s pantry, dual sinks, and granite countertops.
Work at home from the two offices that have a private entry, plus flex space above garage for an art or yoga studio, fitness center, or media room.
The master suite features a jetted garden tub, standalone shower, walk-in closets, and a linen closet.
… And Out
The subtle French country-style interior is beautiful but what really stands out are the three levels of terraces totaling 1,800 square feet that provide stunning water views.
The first-floor patio has a two-sided fireplace, half bath, and walk-in storage for bikes, water toys, and more. There’s an over-sized three-car garage that can accommodate a boat up to 25 feet.
