Texas’s ocean beaches get overlooked, but part of it is the state’s abundant lakes. And some homes take advantage of lakeside locations to the nth degree. This is one of them.
Combining multiple outdoor entertaining locations, everything from a basketball court to a sandy beach, 555 Arrowwood Beach Circle is what a kid at heart would make with free reign to design a Texas lake house.
Set on 2.44 acres with 1,337 feet of your own private sandy beach and shoreline, this gated estate is listed for $4.9 million by Debbie French of Ebby Halliday Realtors.
“This home provides southerly breezes from the point and spectacular sunrises and sunsets from the east and west,” French says of the private peninsula this property sits on — one of the very few peninsula point properties available on Cedar Creek.
For that and many more reasons, it’s easy to gaze at the outdoor amenities with a wild surmise.
Amenities include a sand volleyball court, a sport court with a height-adjustable basketball hoop, a powered gazebo (for the convenient ceiling fan overhead), a waterside patio for outdoor dining, and a hot tub. There’s an included boathouse with two full slips and lifts for seven personal watercraft to give you your run of Cedar Creek Lake.
Inside, the home’s accommodating dimensions bring together rustic wood tones and intimacy with the nearby water. After all, nearly every room has a view. The vibe is homey beachside, but that’s just the current decor. You can make this 1985-built home sleek and modern, comfortable and transitional, or anything in between.
The 3,988-square-foot home has four bedrooms and two and a half baths, enough to handle a whole mob of a family reunion. Plus, there are 1.10 acres of developable land (above Cedar Creek’s 325-foot elevation line) if you’d like to expand the existing home or add a guest house.
The kitchen mimics the property’s peninsular shape, with a large island in the middle. Continuing the theme, there’s enough cabinet space to store food for your most enormous gatherings.
The den’s wide-scale dimensions are grand with the ocean-like horizon beyond the windows. This is a place to gather with friends, or simply withdraw in silence.
A manageable 90-minute drive from Dallas, Trinidad places you in easy reach of the towns of Corsicana and Athens for any needed supplies. But this is a house with all the capacity to entertain during a long special occasion, or simply withdraw from urban life for an extended stay.
