Let’s say you’re trying to romance the heck out of your lovely Valentine. It would be an easy triumph at 9516 Bella Terra Drive in Fort Worth’s elegant Montserrat community.
Without even searching for a passport, the object of your affections will feel whisked to Tuscany merely upon approach to this great estate. Italian-style details such as lush landscaping flank this impressive villa. No everyday concrete drive for your dear darling, but instead real stone on that circular driveway. Then there’s the striking, red-tiled roof to catch the eye, too.
Did I mention that the home — more than 9,000 square feet of romantic loveliness — sits atop more than three acres? Its lush expanse of gardens — this is no ordinary yard — is tiered. All the better to impress your Juliette or Romeo with the views.
Views to Make a Heart Beat Quickly
Yes, the views will take your beloved’s breath away.
“It’s one of the highest elevations for a home in Fort Worth,” says Terri Jones, marketing director for Compass Realtor John Zimmerman.
Really want to wow your honey with the scene? Climb hand-in-hand up the spiral staircase to the mansion’s “eagle’s nest.” Sip wine as you gaze over an almost 360-degree panoramic view of the Fort Worth skyline, a peaceful valley, rolling countryside, and a spectacular sunset.
Another place to declare your love would be the home’s unique cocktail lounge with its two-story ceiling, elaborate bar, wine fridge, and fireplace … one of five in this love nest.
Then there’s the spa, topped by a pergola and adjacent to the romantic courtyard with its beautiful stonework. There will be such a dilemma, though, when you decide to relax there. Which door will you choose? The one off of the primary bedroom or the living room? Or maybe you get distracted and try the huge soaking tub in the primary bath instead of the outdoor spa.
A Closet to Make Carrie Jealous
You’ll recall Carrie Bradshaw from “Sex And The City” insisted on a closet was much more romantic, much more of a commitment than an engagement ring. This Fort Worth equivalent is bigger.
The boutique-style closet is no mere walk-in, but instead a closet room. Its details would make Carrie’s knees buckle: floor-to-ceiling wood trim, glass-front cabinet panels, and a wall-mounted TV.
Still, other residential love notes abound. Five fireplaces, three staircases, and a four-car garage are available for pampering your Valentine. You should know there’s an indoor dog kennel because of course, you’ll have a love child — I mean dog.
Montserrat Villa Has Practical Elements
If your beloved wants the practical details, too, they’re provided. The list of must-haves includes a chef’s kitchen, a media room, a gaming room, a swimming pool, five bedrooms, and seven bathrooms.
All of this is enclosed within the gates of lovely Montserrat, a 30-acre luxury development. Overlooking Mary’s Creek, it’s minutes from downtown Fort Worth with its big-city shopping and dining. Your sweetheart will be tucked away safely behind the guardhouse, staffed 24 hours per day.
So, pop the bubbly. This home is sure to make the perfect palace to live happily ever after for every king and queen of hearts.
The Montserrat property at 9516 Bella Terra Drive is listed for $5.499 million by The John Zimmerman Group.
