Property Description:
The Diamond Hickory Creek Horse Farm is a combination residential estate and state of the art equestrian facility situated on 50 acres only 30 minutes from Downtown Dallas and Love Field Airport and 20 minutes from DFW Airport.
This custom built two-story 8,100 sf home with a rock/stone exterior is a true master piece of indoor and outdoor living. From the outdoor kitchen, expansive deck and infinity pool, there are beautiful views of the manicured grounds, numerous ponds and 1020-mile views of the surrounding countryside.
The equestrian compound consists of indoor and outdoor arenas, the main show barn has concrete alleys, 10 stalls, a tack room, 2 wash racks, break room and office. Additional buildings include a 4-stall barn, storage/workshop barn and equipment building with 2 beautiful apartments. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with gated entries, pipe fencing, hay pastures and numerous turnouts. Though the property was originally constructed to focus on English riding styles such as hunter jumper and dressage, the property lends itself to a wide variety of equestrian disciplines.
Location:
There are two impressive and gated entrances to the property: 121 Harbor Lane, which leads to the main house; and a 2nd gated entrance to the equestrian facilities several hundred yards to the south. Superbly located, the property is only 15 minutes from Legacy and the Frisco Star or downtown Denton, 30 minutes from Downtown Dallas and Love Field Airport and 20 minutes from DFW Airport.
Also, just minutes away from Lake Lewisville where endless recreational opportunities exist.
Improvements:
Residential Improvements: Tremendous drive-up appeal, through the beautiful, gated entrance with its concrete driveway to the house and a welcoming circular drive. Access to the 8,100 square-foot, custom-built home is through a large double door entry off the driveway. The home was originally built in 2002 and extensively remodeled several times since.
Due to large windows and tall ceilings and open floor plan, the home is expansive and full of natural light yet remarkably cozy. The home is well laid out, with various living areas both overlooking and accessing the outdoor kitchen, infinity pool and patio areas. The large foyer, living room, and adjacent study/library with custom bookshelves are in front of the house leading to a shared two story, double sided stone fireplace that separate the living room and dining area and large, open kitchen which is primarily used for serving and entertaining and behind in front of another kitchen primarily used for cooking and preparation. I walk in wine cellar and dining table is off this area as well.
The large primary bedroom suite has a large bathroom overlooking the pool. There are two guest bedrooms on the first floor, and a second-floor bedroom, large den/gameroom and bar as well as theatre leading to the back staircase leading to two additional bedrooms. All of the guest bedrooms have private baths and large walk-in closets.
There is plenty of parking including a two-car attached garage, multi car carport leading to the stairs and a large, three car attached garage and a steel safe room.
The pool and large patio area, both covered and uncovered, are overlooked by, and accessed from most of the house. Below the pool and accessed from the exterior is a two-room safe room with private bath. The lawn and gardens that are inside pipe fencing and irrigated from water wells.
Adjacent Entertaining Building: behind the outdoor kitchen/pool and adjacent to the house is a large, high pitched ceiling entertaining room in a separate building. The room is full of windows and has a large stone fireplace and hearth.
Equestrian Improvements: The beautiful, gated entrance to the Show barn is several hundred yards south of the main entrance. It also leads to several ponds, covered and indoor arenas, equipment barn and shop and another equipment barn and two nice apartments. There are numerous pipes fenced paddocks for turnout for the horses. The premier outdoor and indoor arenas have excellent footing and are beautiful and functional with excellent details.
Land: Overall, the land is gently rolling, with primarily open pastures, though the eastern and southern perimeters are treed, which provides privacy. Much of the perimeter, turn out and entry drives are pipe fencing.
The property has four ponds; two have water wells to ensure they are always full. The water wells are primarily used for irrigation and filling ponds. The majority of the property has an agricultural exemption; the barns and house do not.
Zoning/Development Opportunities: The northern, approximate 1/3 of the property is zoned SF-3 which allows for 9,000 sf lot density and the southern 2/3s is zoned SF-2 which allows for 14,000 sf lots. Much of the land in the area has been developed with 1/3 to acre lots and homes ranging from $500,000 to over $1,000,000.
Townhomes are being developed to the north across Turbeville Road from the property, as well as a boutique hotel and spa/event center.
