Description

An Heirloom on Mary's Creek - Some properties are built. This one was gathered, its bones carried across centuries and oceans to find their final resting place along the banks of Mary's Creek, on 65 rolling acres west of Fort Worth.

At the heart of this 5,972-square-foot residence stands something that cannot be replicated at any price: an original circa-1740 Scottish colonial timber frame, hand-hewn from chestnut and oak, carefully deconstructed and reborn as the architectural soul of the home. The timbers rise to dramatic loft heights, their rich patina deepened by nearly three centuries of quiet history. Beneath them, reclaimed wood floors stretch through an open-plan interior where walls of steel-framed glass dissolve the boundary between hand-crafted shelter and Texas horizon.

Originally built in 2014 and reimagined in 2023 by Clover III, the residence offers five bedrooms and five-and-a-half baths, with the primary suite thoughtfully placed on the main level. That 2023 work went well past cosmetics, including a new roof and an additional bedroom and bath created in the space above the front entry. A wine cellar doubles, discreetly, as a tornado shelter. Every detail has been considered, including a whole-property backup generator, three private water wells with one drilled specifically to serve the irrigation and pool, and a Control 4 system tying together nineteen security cameras positioned across the entrance, the residence, and every outbuilding.

Step outside and the property opens into a resort unto itself. A 2023 Karbo Pools design anchors the back of the home, a glass-tiled pool and spa flanked by sun shelves, a fire pit lounge, and a private putting green. Just beyond, the outdoor kitchen by Kitchen Source rivals anything you'll find indoors: dual refrigeration, ice maker, 48-inch grill, pizza oven, warming drawer, Evo flat-top, Memphis pellet smoker, and an authentic Brazilian gaucho grill. It is, quite simply, a place built for the long evening.

The land itself tells the rest of the story. Sixty-five acres of pasture and tree-lined creek frontage along Mary's Creek, a rare ribbon of living water that has shaped this stretch of Parker County for generations. The pastures are framed in Bois d'Ark fencing, the kind of generational craftsmanship that outlasts the hands that set it. A fruit tree orchard and a well-built chicken coop round out the working side of the place, small touches that make the difference between owning land and living on it.

For the equestrian, the barn was taken down to the studs in 2023 and refinished inside and out, delivering serious working infrastructure without compromising on finish: eight stalls with attached runs, a dedicated tack room, feed room, and full bathroom. A 195 x 60 open arena with dressage footing sits ready for daily work, and a 30 x 50 equipment and storage barn handles everything a property of this scale demands. And for the family with young ballplayers, a private youth baseball field with a batting cage and automated irrigation waits just beyond, the kind of amenity that turns ordinary afternoons into childhood memories. .

And then there is the location. Twenty-five minutes from downtown Fort Worth. Twenty-five minutes from the Cultural District, the Stockyards, and dinner reservations at the Bowie House. Yet here, the only sound is the creek. Acreage of this scale, along a named water, this close to the city, simply does not become available. When it does, it rarely makes it to the open market.
