Cedar Creek Lake Has Become The Hamptons of Dallas

New Yorkers have escaped to the Hamptons for decades. While the Hamptons have the beach, Cedar Creek has the lake. For landlocked Dallasites, water, natural beauty, proximity to the city, and a resort lifestyle make owning a second home here an obvious choice.

Think about how you want to spend your summer vacation. Do you really want to wait in long lines at airports and grapple with thousands of people at tourist-packed destinations? Or would you rather hop in the car, spend an hour listening to a podcast, arrive at your almost two-acre spread overlooking Cedar Creek Lake, and watch the sunset from your boat?

Yeah, I know, so we’ve found the perfect vacation home for you fully furnished — complete with water toys.

Cedar Creek Lake: A Nearby Escape

Located in the Forest Hills subdivision, this 8,060-square-foot luxury home has six bedrooms and six-and-a-half bathrooms in the three-story main house. The lower level has a movie theater, a game room, a kitchenette, a ping pong table, and a massive bunk room. There are also guest quarters over the garage with two more bedrooms.

The back of the house overlooks a three-tier pool and spa with a diving board and a chiller for relief from the crazy hot temperatures we have in Texas.

“This property offers the privacy people want,” Allie Beth Allman listing agent Amy Farris said. “I’m seeing that a lot more. Buyers don’t want a version of Highland Park in Cedar Creek. They want everything self-contained. This home is on one of the deepest lots on the creek and sits on a point in a gated community with only about ten lots, and has one of the best views. It’s your own little resort!”

Cedar Creek Lake is a Year-Round Destination

It’s not just about summer any longer. Cedar Creek has become the family destination for Thanksgiving and Christmas, the place to hold birthday and engagement parties, and the full-time home for those that don’t need to be in the city any longer now that remote work is commonplace.

Cedar Creek Lake is the fourth largest lake in Texas, meaning water sports, boating, and fishing are at your fingertips. Head to the new boat dock and hop on your 2021 Ski Nautique G25 Paragon, one of two personal watercraft, or eFoils, because those all come with the house, as does a golf cart. This is truly a move-in-ready luxury home, and that’s becoming the expectation.

“People don’t want to pick out silverware for a vacation home,” Farris said. “They want to walk in and immediately enjoy lake living.”

That’s just what this luxury Cedar Creek property offers.

Farris and Holly Davis have 5630 Deerfield Ln. in Mabank offered at $6.575 million.
