Chimney Rock Homes in Flower Mound
By The Buehlers and Associates

The Chimney Rock Estates in western Flower Mound, Texas is a conservation development with 48 one-acre lots that surround a permanent conservation easement spanning 51 acres.  Half of the development remains natural—featuring protected habitat, open space, picturesque views, a stocked pond, and thick woods near the awesome Flower Mound TX homes in the Chimney Rock Estates development.  The Sanctuary master-planned community is the second similar development in Flower Mound real estate.

Along with the serene, country style real estate, residents enjoy a central location in the Metroplex as well as all of the features that make Flower Mound one of Money magazine’s Best Place to Live in the western USA.  The natural beauty of this unique Flower Mound property and elegant homes, the proximity to recreational facilities, highly regarded schools, and convenience to a wide variety of employment centers and the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport make Chimney Rock Estates a highly desirable community. 

The gated entrance to the planned community features two old chimneys rising from the ground welcoming residents to streets such as Long Meadow Drive, Chimney Rock Lane, and Woodland Hills.  The first homes were constructed in 2003 on lots of approximately one acre.  Most of the heavily wooded sites are adjoin wooded conservation land which in turn adjoins land around Grapevine Lake offering residents wonderful natural privacy.  

The town of Flower Mound public schools are part of the Lewisville Independent School District.  Liberty Elementary (rated Exemplary), McKamy Middle (Exemplary), and Flower Mound High School (Recognized) serve the neighborhood.

Located about a mile from camping, picnic, and boating facilities on the 7,300-acre Grapevine Lake, families also enjoy frequent hiking, biking, and horseback riding pastimes around the lake and throughout the town’s award-winning trail system.  The freshwater lake was created in 1952 by the Army Corps of Engineers by damming up Denton Creek for the purpose of flood control and to act as a water reservoir.

The array of impressive executive homes in Chimney Rock average about 5,000 square feet each and the median price tag is about $750,000 for splendid designs in Tuscan, English Manor, Country French, Texas Hill Country, English Tudor, Mediterranean, Normandy, Santa Barbara Cottage Prairie and others.  A neighborhood home-owners association works with builders to ensure that the purposes of the conservation community are fulfilled.   Builders to this point are Benchmark Custom Homes, Early Custom Homes, Garvey Homes, Morey & Associates, Moore Custom Homes, Texanna Custom Homes, and The Pressley Group, a lineup that includes several Master Builders. 

Each home in Chimney Rock is custom designed and many are energy efficient.  As per the Green Built North Texas Initiative, a voluntary partnership of construction firms and builders, there is a growing awareness and interest in higher-performance, lower-impact residential homes in North Central Texas.

Conservation preserves accomplish economical, ecological, and social goals all at once and are the way of the future.  The lots tend to sell quicker and hold their resale value longer than some traditional residential developments.  The town is offering various incentives for conservation development.  It may allow narrower roads and a quick plat-review process. 

Chimney Rock is near the southwest corner of FM 1171 and Post Oak Road.  For information about specific properties in the area, contact The Buehlers & Associates at (972) 355-1600.
