Westlake Prestige Meets California Cool at This Vaquero Estate
Share News:
In some places, the phrase “country club lifestyle” gets tossed around loosely. At Vaquero Club, it’s less an idealistic phrase and more a way of life.
This California-inspired residence at 1402 Fountain Grass Ct. sits within the guarded gates of Westlake’s most exclusive neighborhood, where architectural elegance meets a community known for privacy, prestige, and a certain quiet star power.
Guiding the listing are Kelly Marcontell and Susan Gilchrest, widely recognized as the No. 1 real estate team in the area with Ebby Halliday Companies. Their reputation in Westlake and Vaquero is built on deep local knowledge, trusted relationships, and a level of discretion that’s essential in a community known for its privacy.
“Vaquero has a very special sense of community,” Marcontell said. “Residents love the club, the privacy, and the lifestyle here. It’s one of those places where once people move in, they truly don’t want to leave.”
Transitional design with a fresh West Coast sensibility rules the day at 1402 Fountain Grass Ct. with soft color palettes, exposed beams, and a thoughtful mix of modern lines and warm character details.
Step into the soaring foyer and the tone is immediately set: walls of windows, natural light pouring in, and spaces designed as much for everyday living as they are for memorable gatherings.
The heart of the home is the large family room with a fireplace that’s just raring to roar — just maybe not when it’s 80 degrees outside. It overlooks the pool and has French doors providing access to the outdoor covered living area.
The adjacent chef’s kitchen clearly understands why it was created and leans into its strengths. Professional-grade stainless appliances, a generous island, prep kitchen, and walk-in pantry all make entertaining almost suspiciously easy. There’s even a cozy keeping room with its own fireplace for unwinding after dinner — because the best parties inevitably drift back into the kitchen.
Also downstairs, a media room stands ready for game days and movie nights, while the primary suite invites you to regroup daily with soaring beamed ceilings, tranquil backyard views, and a spa bath finished in marble with a soaking tub that practically insists on slow Sunday mornings.
Upstairs, three additional bedroom suites ensure everyone has their own space, alongside a game room and bonus room that’s ready for anything.
“The home has this effortless indoor-outdoor flow that people are really drawn to,” said Gilchrest. “Between the chef’s kitchen, the media room, and the outdoor entertaining areas, it’s designed for the way people actually live and gather.”
Outside, a Claffey custom pool with a spa, tanning ledge, and water features anchors a backyard built for long Texas summers. The covered patio, outdoor kitchen, dining spaces, and fire pit create a setting where weekends tend to linger pleasantly into the evening. There’s even a dedicated golf cart garage — a subtle hint at life in a golf-centered community like Vaquero.
Owning a home in the community comes with access to a coveted Vaquero Golf Club social membership, which is available separately through the golf club once new owners have been approved through its membership process.
And about those neighbors. Vaquero Club has quietly become a preferred community for professional athletes, entrepreneurs, and high-profile executives who appreciate the combination of security, world-class golf, and understated luxury.
In other words, life in Vaquero isn’t about making a splash. It’s about living exceptionally well — behind the gates, and entirely on your own terms.
