Explore the Home With a Private Lake That’s One-Upping the Luxury Market

When it comes to luxury properties, CandysDirt.com has pretty much covered the spectrum. Having seen our share of standout amenities, we’re rarely stunned when it comes to wow factors. In-home cinemas, saunas, and six-car garages don’t faze us at all. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t exceptions — especially when it comes to exceptional real estate.

Recently, we got a tip on a fully renovated, resort-style home that takes luxury a step further with a feature few listings can claim.

“The home is built on a beautiful private lake,” said listing agent Jill Carpenter at Coldwell Banker Realty. “It’s a really serene lot, nestled in a unique neighborhood. There are actually two lakes across from each other. You’ll often see ducks out on the water. Then, there are fountains that make it even more elegant.”

This three-bedroom, five-bath, 3,642-square-foot property boasts palatial appeal inside and out. Set in a mature neighborhood with heritage trees, manicured lawns, and multiple lakes, it presents a storybook exterior.

While serenity sets the tone outside, the interior could not be sleeker. After extensive updates in 2021, the home exudes modern luxury from every angle. As you step inside, immaculate marble flooring and crisp finishes dazzle under the dappling of natural light.

Imagined for elevated entertaining, this home offers multiple gathering areas. The main living space is arranged around a beautiful brick hearth and flanked by a full wet bar. Behind it, a flexible formal dining room allows you to curate incredible dinner parties or create a communal space that’s all your own.

The chef’s kitchen is an absolute paradise for anyone with gourmet ambitions. With high-end Wolf appliances, custom cabinetry, and elegant finishes, it’s an ideal venue for upping the ante on any culinary endeavor.

Featuring its own fireplace, the downstairs primary is a stately sanctuary with sophisticated design. Here, ample space and an accommodating layout present the perfect canvas for any style.

Then, the ensuite bathroom is a well-appointed spa escape. Dual vanities, a stand-alone soaking tub, and a walk-in shower create a luxury retreat for relaxing experiences.

“Upstairs, beautiful views of the lake elevate an incredible ambiance,” said Carpenter. “With warm wood flooring and detailed design, it perfectly preserves the quality craftsmanship its original builders, Sharif & Munir, envisioned.”

With a spacious landing and more communal spaces, the second floor makes this home perfect for just about any type of resident.

Finally, the outdoor oasis rounds out this listing as a resort home. With a sparkling swimming pool, spa, and plenty of accessible lounge space, it’s an ideal setting for any type of gathering or event.

Just when we thought we’d seen it all, this lakeside listing proves that luxury knows no bounds in Dallas. Jill Carpenter at Coldwell Banker has 11824 Forest Lakes Ln. available for $1.3 million.
