What is it about water that is so peaceful and relaxing? We go to the beach to hear the waves, the lake to hear the lapping of the water, and if you’ve ever watched a front-loading washing machine go through a cycle, it’s quite mesmerizing.
People spend tons of money to have fountains installed in their gardens and there are even desktop gizmos that you plug in and hear the trickle of water while different colored lights shine.
Water is relaxing and peaceful and very comforting. If you like the peaceful sound of water flowing, then you’ll love this home in the gated golfing community of Mira Vista Country Club.
Built by local Fort Worth builder David Lewis in 2011, this French-inspired home of 3,799 square feet has two water features that give the home a relaxing and calming feel.
New Orleans Feel
As you wind through this home you will notice there is a New Orleans feel to it. You know when you’re walking around the French Quarter and you go through a door and a corridor until you come upon a beautiful interior courtyard — that’s the feel of 6712 Lahontan Drive.
If you’re looking for that “open concept” home — this is not the home for you, and that’s okay. This home has been thoughtfully planned and designed to flow well around the interior courtyard and fountain.
Surrounding the courtyard is a high brick fence with ivy and character. Large windows allow light to pour into the home from the landscaped patio, fountain, and outdoor kitchen.
Fantastic Finishes
Another water feature, through an outdoor corridor, leads to the three-car garage and motor court. I just happened to stumble upon this area – it was so relaxing with the splashing of the water in the fountain and private garden.
6712 Lahontan Drive has two bedrooms downstairs and two bedrooms upstairs. Also found upstairs is a private media room perfect for any kind of binge-watching.
This French-inspired Mira Vista home at 6712 Lahontan Dr. is listed for $999,000 by Michelle Perry of Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty in Fort Worth. Take time to relax and enjoy this peaceful home.
