Giddy Up: You And Your Horse Could Have Room to Roam on an Acre Near White Rock Lake

We know how coveted a one-acre lot is just about anywhere in this town. Our sprawling, generous lots are what make residential real estate in Dallas like no other. In what other city could you get a place in town with a stable where you can keep (and ride) real horses?

Let’s go one step further … Where else can you find one beautiful, verdant acre that happens to be steps from the most beautiful waterfront in Dallas, White Rock Lake?

I’m here to tell you all about it.

A Coveted One-Acre Lot

The lot at 7701 Fisher Road is exactly one-point-zero acres, located about two properties removed from the shore of White Rock Lake. This is a perfect location because you get a stunning front-row seat to water views but protection from damaging storms and wind. And all around the house are trees, a tree-lined street, and landscape perfection.

There is even a stable because, in Dallas, you are still able to keep one horse per acre.

A Four-Bedroom Ranch With Benefits

Call it a cottage, call it a ranch with benefits, but it is a neat, clean, well-maintained, and loved four-bedroom, three-and-one-half-bath classic solid brick home. Think Brady Bunch. The primary bedroom is downstairs and boasts a charming en suite bath as well as huge walk-in closets.

Let’s take it from the beginning, shall we? After pulling in the gated driveway, you enter through a lovely foyer to a soaring great room and dining room combo with vaulted, beamed ceiling, fireplace and a veritable wall of windows.

The handy kitchen is a charming nod back to the 1970s. Check out the vintage cabinets — could this be a St. Charles kitchen? There is one other bedroom plus a large laundry room on this level. Up a stack of back stairs are two more bedrooms and a bath. As is, the house comes in at 2,600 adorable square feet but can easily become twice that size. Plus, it’s freshly painted by Trey Hardin of Edwards Paint. The two-car garage is oversized with ample storage.

Owners have been green-lighted by the City of Dallas permitting department to renovate and add additional square footage up to 5,200 square feet. Plans have already been drafted by architect Greg Lorie of Architectura, who is a favorite among Lakewood homeowners.

A new owner could also tear down and build a new dream home plus a tennis/pickle-ball court and large pool. Let us not forget the horse barn on the property for equestrians to ride among the trees of White Rock Lake.

A Stone’s Throw From White Rock Lake

And of course, the lake. Stroll or ride your steed down to the shores of White Rock Lake. This home is located in the very best neighborhood in Lakewood hands down, with convenience to Lakewood shopping and amenities as well as the nature benefits only available in this neighborhood.

The best, perhaps, is the price: $2.6 million, which is a steal. The $2.6 million price for an acre is already a bargain, so you are getting the house for free. Listed with the Lady of the Lake herself, Lynda Piepgras of Compass Real Estate.

“I know Lakewood better than any agent in this town,” Piepgras said, who specializes in White Rock Lake-area properties. “I grew up here and drove that lake every Sunday with my dad, which means I know every home around it.”

Open House

Piepgras will have 7701 Fisher Road open from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 11. Come by if you happen to be checking out the Lakewood Home Tour this weekend, which was covered here on CandysDirt.com.
