Known as “the best lake in North Texas since 1934,” Eagle Mountain Lake is a premier destination for exciting recreation and elevated relaxation.

Spanning 8,694 acres, this oasis not only offers the most beautiful views in Tarrant County, but it also boasts some of the best architecture in Texas. Along the shoreline, areas like Harbour View and Lake Forest showcase incredible examples of luxe living. From the traditional to the ultra-contemporary, there’s no shortage of exceptional design.

Recently, John Zimmerman Group released a contender for crown jewel status at Eagle Mountain Lake.  Situated on 2.16 acres, this 2,300-square-foot luxury lakeside escape evokes unparalleled style and palatial appeal.

Created by renowned Fort Worth builder Rick Yuill, this home takes full advantage of its majestic surroundings. Every aspect stops you in your tracks, blurring the boundaries between stunning architecture and striking environment.

“I’ve known Rick Yuill for many years and have seen many of his properties,” said John Zimmerman. “This one is without question among the most special. Perfectly positioned on the peninsula, you can sit out and feel the breeze rolling through every time. It’s peaceful in a way you can’t really capture in words. Inside, the design is just as striking, with those walls of glass that make it feel like the lake is part of every room. It’s a rare property that blends serenity with true luxury, the kind of place you simply don’t come across twice.”

Upon entering, it’s clear this is no ordinary lake home. Curated with meticulous intent, the open concept makes the most of every detail. From the muted wood tones to the classic cape-inspired shiplap, this home expertly nods to its nautical settings.

Of course, the grand vision is defined by walls of glass, which showcase the surroundings and stress next-level luxury. In the main entertaining spaces, they designed each area to encourage interaction and inspire unforgettable moments. It’s truly remarkable from all angles.

Then, the chef’s kitchen perfectly complements the incredible entertaining appeal the home offers. With a marble island, Miele appliances, and four refrigerator drawers, this gourmet’s paradise accommodates any culinary endeavor. Also, a laundry room that doubles as a secondary walk-in pantry provides plenty of storage options.

Each room throughout this home is expertly arranged to enhance the enchanted setting and carry a cohesive aesthetic. With designer fixtures, high-end materials, and craftsman quality, this home is a timeless retreat.

“The nearly completed 1,200-square-foot private suite makes this home even more incredible,” said Zimmerman. “And it isn’t even included in the 2,300 square feet listed. It has the same sweeping lake views as the main home, with separate his-and-hers en suites, kitchenettes, and closets. The scale and finish are what you’d normally expect to see in someone’s primary residence — it’s that well done.”

Of course, the exterior reflects the energetic ethos of lakeside living. Outside, a covered porch wraps around three sides of the home, complete with a built-in bar top and serving area. Then, beyond the patio, a manicured turf yard provides a serene setting for making the most of this iconic Eagle Mountain Lake property.

Finally, a floating dock with a boat and a jet ski lift creates endless opportunities for incredible recreational experiences. If you’re looking to invest in a whole new lifestyle, this luxury lakeside retreat could not be a better option.
