If you’re going to be holed up inside, keeping your distance from others, you might as well make it a gorgeous country-like home with a view. For this Suburb Sunday, we head out to Fairview, Aubrey, and alllll the way to Lake Kiowa for three fantastic homes perfect for some peaceful seclusion.

Listing agent Brian Smith of Dave Perry-Miller Park Cities describes this property as a “wonderful tranquil and relaxing setting on 5- treed and rolling acres.” Yes, five acres! It features long-leaf pine floors, casement windows, and sturdy 2X6 construction. Notice in the country store-themed kitchen, the grain storage built into the center island — pretty smart nowadays for stockpiling rice, beans, or other staples. It has a wine cellar good for stockpiling, too. Outside, the coverage porches have stone flooring and walkways, outdoor fireplace, and lighted and misted sitting areas. There are two Koi recirculating ponds with waterfalls and bridge and a gated entry.

“Don’t miss this perfect lake house for weekenders on a large, premium deepwater lakefront lot,” says listing agent John Halliburton with Lake Kiowa Premiere Real Estate. Lake Kiowa, located an hour north of Dallas has been called the best kept secret in North Texas. This unique great room is modeled like a circular lodge with a stone fireplace and wood ceiling beams. It has dual master bedrooms and two bedrooms upstairs, but you’ll spend most of your time outside in the huge backyard, dockside pergola lounge area with fire pit and refrigerator, and getting ready to hit the water from your dock with boat slip and double jet-ski lift. A second house features built-in gas BBQ, charcoal BBQ, and lots of storage. There is a golf cart garage with extra storage space. You can have a complete turnkey package with furniture, dinnerware, and gas golf cart included. Even the boat is negotiable.
