Embrace the “Swiss Family Robinson” vibe in this quirky, cool four-bedroom lakeside home on Courageous Drive in Rockwall.
Now, truth be told, the Swiss Family Robinson is a fictional family who lived in a treehouse after being shipwrecked. Therefore, big disclaimer here, this house in Rockwall has very few similarities to the Disney film or the book by Johann David Wyss.
But … let your imagination go with me a little. This house is unique. It begs for kids to climb, play, and enjoy. The family inhabiting this 3,248-square-foot abode may not be fending off pirates, but they can certainly enjoy a panoramic view of Lake Ray Hubbard from the back balcony.
It’s a one-mile walk from Chandler’s Landing Marina, restaurant, bar, beach, tennis courts, and pool – so if you’re gonna be shipwrecked, this is definitely the way to do it.
A Life Aquatic
This is a rental home – so for just $3,600 per month, the new tenants get to live on the lake with a beautiful view of the Dallas skyline and adjacent to the upcoming Sapphire Bay development.
In the A-ranked Rockwall ISD, students will attend Dorothy Smith Pullen Elementary School, Maurine Cain Middle School, and Rockwall-Heath High School. All three individual campuses received A ratings from TXschools.gov.
So what’s not to love about this home and its location?
The contemporary finish-out will take your breath away, and the master suite has a private balcony and a luxury bath. The second-story living area also features a balcony with that great marina view – so you can show off your fabulous sunset to guests while entertaining.
An office on the first floor with a walk-in closet could function as a fifth bedroom if needed – or it also works as a place to stash the pirate’s booty.
Chandler’s Landing
The gated waterfront community of Chandler’s Landing is one of Rockwall’s premier areas – close to Interstate 30, fine dining, shopping, and entertainment.
While the area’s hotspot for dinner on the lake – The Landing at Chandler’s – is temporarily closed due to an electrical fire, many other options exist.
Standard Service, Sake Bomb Thai and Japanese Cuisine, and Basil Café are less than two miles away.
But, let’s be honest, who needs to leave home when you’re the Swiss Family Robinson, chilling lakeside with the family?
Take a leap of faith and head on over to Courageous Drive.
Daniel Cirulis with Coldwell Banker Apex is leasing this lakeside Rockwall home at 633 Courageous Drive for $3,600 per month.
