Property Overview

This 2023 residence on Shimmering Sea Drive commands a rare vantage point backing directly to private ranch land, offering views of native Texas wildlife and unobstructed privacy across three sides of the property. The home's two-story design maximizes natural light through floor-to-ceiling windows and soaring high ceilings anchored by a corner fireplace, while the open floor plan creates seamless flow from living spaces to the kitchen and dining areas. Three bedrooms and three bathrooms provide comfortable family living in this Cascades at Onion Creek development.

The oversized lot—approximately 1,000 square feet larger than typical neighborhood properties—extends the outdoor experience with a covered patio, custom raised garden bed, and five newly planted trees that frame an east-facing backyard flooded with afternoon shade and cross-breezes. A natural gas grill hookup and built-in pest control system showcase thoughtful details throughout. This Onion Creek home positions you at the intersection of semi-rural tranquility and established community amenities, with convenient highway access and proximity to the championship golf course just minutes away.
