Live the Cedar Creek Lake Lifestyle With This Impressive Property

Cedar Creek Lake has long been considered Dallas’s backyard for fun. Just an hour or so drive from Dallas, the scenic lake is an easy weekend escape and a popular second home destination. Whether you make this your second home, or — courtesy of work-from-anywhere — your only abode, this listing by Debbie French of Ebby Halliday Realtors is sure to get you daydreaming of your new lake lifestyle.

French says purchasing a property at the lake is not just about the home.

“Buying a waterfront property is all about the lifestyle,” says French, Ebby Halliday Realtors’ top-producing agent at Cedar Creek Lake. “Some properties have a great lot, great water, or a wonderful view, but not that great of a home. Or you can find a stunning home, but the lot, the water, or the view leave much to be desired.

“This home at 19116 Peaceful Woods has both. It’s the entire package of living the lake lifestyle.”

Indeed, this five-bedroom, seven-bath home has an impressive 5,015 square feet of lodge-style charm. It’s a 5.17-acre gated estate, situated on a double lot with approximately 475 feet of open waterfront. French, a longtime Cedar Creek Lake-dweller herself, says the home is located on a nice, calmer part of the lake.

What’s especially nice is this home is nestled along large, multi-acre treed lots full of oaks, maples, and pine trees — after all, this is the gateway to East Texas.

“You really feel like you’re in the country, but you’re close to all the conveniences of Gun Barrel City,” French says.

Inside, the home is built for family living and entertaining with four en suite bedrooms and a media room with a full bath which could be a bunk room or fifth bedroom. There’s a spacious open living room with hand-scraped wood floors, vaulted ceilings with hand-cut timber beams, and walls of windows looking out onto the lake. In fact, most rooms in the house have lake views.

The open gourmet kitchen comes equipped with a built-in Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf six-burner gas range, oven, warming drawer, and ice machine. It has honed granite countertops and a soapstone island with plentiful bar seating, and the butler pantry with wine refrigerator is pretty great, too.

On cool nights, you can gather around the gas-starter wood-burning fireplace in the living room or bundle up around the outdoor kitchen and living area with fireplace. Or head to the shoreline to sit around the fire pit and listen to the peaceful lake pump rock creek running through the property and don’t worry about the mosquitos. The home comes equipped with a mosquito misting system.

Like most lake-goers, you’ll probably spend more time outside than in, so this huge wraparound porch is perfect. It has multiple sitting areas, al fresco dining, and an outdoor kitchen.

French says the home comes furnished and even includes the boat and personal watercraft. Launch from your own dock with multiple slips, a swim-up platform, and a party deck overhead. It’s a complete lake lifestyle ready for you.
