Rockwall Executive Retreat Offers Fabulous Views And Room to Unwind

Life is hectic and busy for many of us, but for those who are at the top of the corporate ladder, or those who have it turned up to 11, having a place for respite is key. For some people that is a second home — and believe us, we’re fans of second homes. But what if you had a primary residence that was so perfect and peaceful that it rendered a second home obsolete? What if you had an executive retreat that was relaxing and welcoming after a long day?

Located in Rockwall, this beautiful listing from Lori Ericsson at David Griffin & Company Realtors is just that — an everyday executive retreat that gives you the peace and relaxation you want from a second home without the distance. That alone has earned this special home a spot as this week’s  Highlight Home of The Week sponsored by Dallas mortgage banker Lisa Peters of Cardinal Financial.

When we look at this Rockwall executive retreat, we’re hard-pressed to find any faults. This 1992-built home is updated perfectly, with finishes that aren’t too trendy to be accessible and not too conservative to be outdated in a few years. Plus, the large lot is a real asset, Ericsson said.

“It’s located in an area where there are large estate homes on acreage,” Ericsson said. “You get the expansive views without the upkeep of a ranch property.”

A Rockwall Executive Retreat With Everything

Inside, this four-bedroom, three-bath, 3,812-square-foot home lives large and comfortable without sacrificing style. We love the exposed beams in the living and dining room, and the open floor plan and kitchen make entertaining a breeze. Plus, with how close you are to Lake Ray Hubbard, just plan on adding a boat slip at the nearest marina to your mortgage because who doesn’t want to enjoy a day at the lake when you’re trying to unwind?

As far as amenities go, this Rockwall executive retreat has all the things you want. The kitchen features premium appliances and stylish brass fixtures. With a media room that is the envy of any film buff, you’ll never have to worry about being entertained. Plus, Ericsson says that the views from the outdoor spaces are just perfect.

“Stunning sunsets and sunrises can be enjoyed from the infinity edge pool and steaming hot tub,” she said. “As an avid horse lover, I’m also thrilled that there is a barn.”

There’s room to roam, too, with more than 1.5 acres in this Rockwall executive retreat. Part of that includes a lovely backyard complete with a serene pool and did we mention the peaceful atmosphere?

“This home provides a luxurious and functional escape from city life,” Ericsson said. “You can take a deep breath once you pull in the driveway. You’ve arrived home to your private little sanctuary to enjoy the sunset.”
