If you've been waiting for the right lake house--this is it. Elevated above Cedar Creek Lake with sweeping open water views, this modern farmhouse delivers the rare combination of newer construction, thoughtful design, and true lake lifestyle just over an hour from Dallas. Built in 2021, the home offers 5 bedrooms, 5.5 baths, and approximately 4,488 square feet designed for both everyday living and large gatherings. The open-concept main level features warm wood beams, shiplap accents, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and walls of windows that bring the lake into every moment. The chef's kitchen is built to entertain with quartz countertops, an oversized island, premium appliances, bar closet, and walk-in pantry. The primary suite is a private retreat with private patio and water views, while a main-floor study easily functions as a guest suite. Upstairs, two generous guest bedrooms with en-suite baths and a dedicated recreation wing with built-in bunks, game room, full bath, and additional bedroom create the perfect setup for hosting family and friends. Outdoor living takes center stage with a wraparound covered porch, porch swings, outdoor fireplace, and grilling area overlooking the water. The fenced yard slopes to a private boathouse featuring a 25-foot slip, dual jet ski lifts, and a sunken party deck--designed for long weekends and sunset evenings. Located in Arnold Hills with access to a pickleball court and private boat ramp, this is more than a home--it's the lake lifestyle buyers are searching for.
