Escape to This 1 Acre Cedar Hill Retreat Where the Only Leaf Blower You’ll Hear Is Your Own

Ebby Halliday’s Paul Farrow lives in Corinth on Lake Lewisville. His lot is over an acre and when you have a chance to talk to him, he’s very calm and his tone is soothing. Like a meditation app. You know why? Because he’s SURROUNDED BY NATURE. Unlike, well, I can’t speak for you, but I can speak for myself and where Farrow has trees, lake ripples, and wildlife, I have humans. Lots of them. And cars and LEAF BLOWERS. Which leads me to type in all caps.

Escape to Silence

If you’re like me and surrounded by sounds, Farrow’s latest listing might be of interest to you. Here’s the thing, it’s close. Just south of Downtown Dallas close. It’s in Cedar Hill. Set on one acre and in addition to swapping leaf blowers for bird calls, you’re on your very own 1.4 acres.

What Neighbors?

Farrow said obviously the trees are bare right now, but any day now they’ll fill in and when they do, you can’t even see the house. The thick foliage creates a level of privacy you typically only find out in the country. There’s also a 90-acre park behind the house which means you won’t have neighbors anytime soon. And it’s maintained by the city, so you don’t even have to stay current on your tetanus boosters. (No rusted-out jungle gyms. That’s what I’m saying. It’s always great when you need to explain a reference in a parenthetical aside. NAILED IT.)

Check, Check, and Check

The owners have lived here since 1998 and it’s been impeccably maintained, bathrooms updated including heated floors in the primary ensuite bathroom, and a saltwater pool and spa added. You pretty much had me at over one acre, then privacy, but throw in that insane pool and it’s like how fast can I pack?

This house is the getaway your personal space has been craving. It’s on Sleepy Hollow, which is a long road that leads right into Cedar Hill, but Farrow said where this property sits, it’s the hillier side with the topography we don’t get to see much in Dallas. Finally, the home is near Joe Pool Lake and all the recreational activities it has to offer.

Farrow has 925 Sleepy Hollow Drive listed for $675,000.
