When it comes to developed planned communities, few can compare or compete with Craig Ranch in McKinney. So when a premium luxury home comes available, on the golf course no less, people take notice.
Developed in 2016 as a premier golf-centered luxury home development, the first homes in the community sprouted about 2018. Thus most homes are fairly new: there is not a single home in the community with low ceilings, internet-barren, security-starved, or bearing closets the size of a Quonset Hut.
And yet, smart architectural design has created charm and warmth through the use of classic materials in the exteriors. There are walking paths, sidewalks, security, and just about everything a buyer would seek in an upscale suburban gated community — which is why homes in Craig Ranch come to market infrequently.
This home in particular has some of the best views of the Byron Nelson at the 7th Hole!
And there is the TPC
TPC means Tournament Players Club, a network of elite golf courses that began with TPC Sawgrass. It’s a type of quality assurance in the haute fairways of golf. The TPC Network is comprised of 30 premier private, resort, and daily fee golf properties designed by some of golf’s most elite course architects. TPC courses are designed to accommodate the large crowds attracted to high-profile tournaments. Each TPC has hosted or has been designed to host TOUR-sponsored golf tournaments, such as the Byron Nelson, which is contracted to Craig Ranch’s TPC through 2025.
“This is a premier golf community in North Texas, and you have an exquisite home available that overlooks the 7th and 8th hole of the TPC at Craig Ranch,” says listing agent Angela Weedon, who along with JP Findley of Rogers Healy & Associates are marketing 6101 Boston Lane, McKinney. “Our clients sit on their verandah and watch the Byron every year. It’s better than a front-row seat.”
The residence spawns a .93 acre lot which, given its siting on the edge of the golf course, renders a total estate-like aura. The views are panoramic.
The home was custom built as a 7,717 square foot estate, from the dramatic and elegant entry foyer accented by a curved grand staircase to the great room with cathedral ceiling to the professional kitchen with high-end appliances, sparkling quartz countertops, stone backsplash, huge floating island, lighted cabinets, copious storage, and surfaces.
A port-cochere drive separates the four car garage with attic space from the home. Select interior walls are covered in ceiling-to-floor stone. There is a first-floor theater, a temperature-controlled wine grotto, a richly paneled study, an exercise room, an upstairs game or playroom with a balcony, plus a bonus room.
To say the home is luxurious is an understatement. There are five bedrooms, all en suite. The primary suite has a dramatic ceiling and sitting area. The bath is like a spa experience with a soaking tub and a massive oversized shower. There are four spacious garage bays, a circular drive, a port cochere, and a massive grassy play sideyard.
But the backyard is what makes this home a true oasis you will never want to leave. The large pool features a sun deck and an infinity drop over the golf course view, plus a spa convenient to the primary bedroom. The house extends to a total outdoor living experience with a large covered porch, fireplace, television, outdoor kitchen, and more views.
“This is an incredible opportunity to own not just a home, but an estate, in the best neighborhood McKinney has to offer,” says listing co-agent JP Findley.
Someone moving from in-town communities such as the Park Cities will not miss a beat — they will feel right at home, say the agents. Transplants from other states continue to be amazed by the amenities North Texas homes offer.
“And here is one home located in probably the best spot on the entire TPC Course,” says JP Findley. “It could be years before another such opportunity opens up.”
The home at 6101 Boston Lane in McKinney is newly listed for $3.75 million with Weedon and Findley. The property will be held open today, Sunday Dec. 3, from 1 to 4 p.m.
