These 3 Rockwall Homes Offer Spacious Lots, Land, and Lake Views
Share News:
Rockwall is iconic for its lakeside living, affluent subdivisions, and incredible sense of community. Officially platted in the mid-1800s, the town is named after a clastic geological formation discovered while pioneers were digging wells in the area. Since its inception, the town, which is just 22 miles east of Dallas on Interstate 30, has grown to house a population of over 45,000 residents.
For outsiders, the city has several distinct draws. A historic downtown sets the stage for exceptional shopping, dining, and service. Then, The Harbor is a dynamic hillside retreat with recreation of all kinds just off Lake Ray Hubbard.
For this edition of Suburb Sunday, I’m excited to explore this impressive city and showcase three homes that would make the perfect landing pad for anyone looking to call Rockwall home.
Library, Location, and Lot Make for the Perfect Home
Address: 1597 Sunset Hill Drive
- 4 Bedrooms, 5 Bathrooms
- 4,152 square feet
- $1,000,000
The first home I’m featuring this week is at 1597 Sunset Hill Drive. I really love the towering appeal of the exterior and the inside is just as incredible.
“The character is incredibly unique,” said listing agent Matthew Johns of Keller Williams Realty. “From the beautiful façade to the quality craftsmanship within, this is a standout listing. One feature I really like about this home is the enormous library. It’s finished in a classic style with high ceilings and tons of space.”
The location of this home is also perfect for families.
“You can’t beat the location at all. It’s right on the shores of Lake Ray Hubbard with easy access to the golf course. Also, the Rockwall school district is exceptional,” Johns said. “But I think the biggest selling point of this home would be the lot. It’s on a full 1.02 acres, which is unheard of in such a prime location.”

A Rockwall Farmhouse with Real Charm
Address: 3010 Rochelle Road
- 3 Bedrooms, 3 Bathrooms

Next, let’s check out a fantastic farmhouse with a ton of outdoor space and beautiful surroundings.
“This home is exceptional in terms of its classic style,” said listing agent Shawn McLaughlin of Ebby Halliday Realtors. “The farmhouse feel fits perfectly since it’s situated on three full acres of beautiful, secluded land with an abundance of trees and unbeatable scenery. The interior perfectly complements the architectural style with solid plank construction throughout and rustic wood flooring.”
Those who are looking for an expansive property plus the peace and quiet of nature will fall in love with this home.

Sleek Meets Surreal In This New Build
Address: 304 Shamrock Circle
- 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms
- 4,012 square feet
- $974,000
This week, I saved the best for last. The home at 304 Shamrock Circle is perhaps one of the most dynamic properties in Rockwall County. This home is super distinct both inside and out. It was built on a hill and is surrounded by lush forestry on all sides, making for some spectacular views.
“To me, this home has a very unique feel,” said listing agent Nick Termini of Century 21. “The main floor is elevated so when you look out, you’re eye-level with the canopies of all the trees on the property. It actually feels like you’re in a treehouse.”
Of course, the new construction and designer touches add to the ambiance of the outdoors.
“The finish-outs are spectacular in this home,” said Termini. “I mean, they designed everything with incredible taste. It all comes together seamlessly for a sleek, modern feel. This home is truly high-end and one-of-a-kind.”
Nick Termini of Century 21 lists 304 Shamrock Circle for $974,000.
