It’s Not Every Day an Ultra-Modern Pueblo Pops Up In North Texas

There are a myriad of architectural styles that come to mind when we think about the North Texas landscape. Whether it’s the iconic craftsmen and Tudors that adorn East Dallas, or the ever-increasing inventory of transitional homes popping up around Preston Hollow and Lakewood, this region entertains many aesthetics. However, when something truly unique comes on the market, people start talking.

In recent years, we’ve seen the proliferation of everything from Palladian neoclassical architecture to ultra-luxe palaces. Though, a home doesn’t have to fetch an eight-figure price tag to be considered priceless.

Recently, we uncovered an architectural marvel in one of the most unlikely places. Just twelve minutes south of Duncanville sits a contemporary interpretation of a southwestern architectural staple. This four-bedroom, six-bathroom, 5,764-square-foot pueblo-style estate is as eye-catching as it is intriguing. Let’s take a closer look.

Rooted In Another World

Originating within Native American tribes throughout the southwest, the Pueblo style dates back as far as 750–900 CE. When the Spanish showed up in the 1500s, they adapted the construction techniques to create missions and haciendas. This is why Mission-style architecture shares some similar characteristics with Pueblo.

However, a true Pueblo stands on its own merits. In its revival renditions, these homes typically feature open spaces both inside and out, flat roofs, and exposed beams – all of which today’s feature pulls off flawlessly.

An Incredible Pueblo In An Unlikely Place

From the outside, this home exhibits iconic attributes of the movement. The flat roof, immaculate stucco surface, and exposed vigas nod to the traditional style of the era.

“This is an outstanding and architecturally significant property,” said listing agent Kimberly Ashmore with Allie Beth Allman & Associates. “The brilliance behind the design comes from Roberto Roberto (Roberto Chavez) of RO:ST Group. Roberto is an abstract artist and entrepreneur and brought this bigger vision to life after completing a smaller similar project in the Oak Cliff area.

“This is one of the first properties of its kind to reach Duncanville, but we’re expecting so many more to follow. With the skyrocketing land prices in Dallas and the proliferation of professional athletes in the DeSoto-Duncanville area, the market has so much potential. This property would easily fetch $6.5 to $7 million in Preston Hollow.”

Artistic Vision Meets All The Amenities

The interior is just as emblematic of the era. With an emphasis on communal spaces, Pueblo homes often feature wide-open floorplans. The home exhibits this with a seamless flow from one area to the next.

“This home features 12-foot ceilings on the first floor and almost every amenity you can imagine,” said Ashmore. “The floor plan is incredibly unique with essentially three primary suites.”

The main living space is entirely walled in glass and backs up into a beautiful formal dining and chef’s kitchen. Easily accessible from all angles, this home is imagined for entertainment. Here, it’s worth noting that this home was expertly staged by George Bass to truly bring out the best in this vision.

The open gourmet kitchen is a chef’s paradise. Here, a seated island and bar overlook the formal dining room and creekside lot. White oak cabinetry and open shelving are a perfect nod to the movement and allow residents to showcase unique pottery and dishware – a staple of the Pueblo tradition.

Then, the main primary suite is a relaxing retreat. Vaulted ceilings and nature views define this escape. Also, there’s enough room for any kind of bed with sitting space to spare.

The ensuite bathroom evokes a five-star resort. With a modern soaking tub, designer vanities, and unwavering style, this space captures the southwestern ethos while elevating every detail.

Of course, the home is replete with wow-factors. With multiple office spaces, a guest room with access to an indoor hot tub, a theatre room, and even a space under the stairs for pets, this home makes excellent use of its nearly 6,000 square feet.

Iconic Pueblo Style. Perfect Outdoor Experiences.

Finally, the backyard is an outdoor escape with stunning views, sweeping gathering spaces, and serene surroundings.

“With over 1,800 feet of outside terrace,” said Ashmore. “The backyard is just breathtaking. It backs up to a beautiful creekside hideaway and could easily accommodate a large swimming pool. The potential is endless.”

Fans of any architectural style will find endless reasons to explore this one-of-a-kind work. We hope it’s just one of the firsts in a growing movement of aspirational ambition across the North Texas area.
