If you think about it, many of our greatest childhood memories involve water. Cooling off with the sprinkler or the Slip n Slide in the backyard on a sweltering July day… Meeting up with friends at the community pool to play Marco Polo or Minnows Across the Water ‘til your pruny skin just about fell off… Or if you were really fortunate, receiving a coveted overnight invitation from some lucky duck whose family had a lakehouse and a mind to take you tubing, skiing, jet skiing, wakeboarding, deck jumping, sailing, kayaking and/or fishing, before returning you home to your parents exhausted and crispy on Sunday afternoon.
Today, there are more lucky ducks than ever before with developers seizing opportunity at area lakes and the rise of pressures in the city. You too, can be a lucky duck — with Ebby Halliday Realtors’ presence at several nearby bodies of water and the connections to get you into one of these lake homes quickly. The brand happens to be No. 1 in Sales Volume and in Homes Sold (more than twice their closest competitor) at Cedar Creek Lake.
Check out these lovelies for your personal use, or in the case of this first one, for some income-generating potential. All are located in Mabank.
