About an hour west of Fort Worth, the outer suburbs of the DFW Metroplex give way to miles of rolling Texas hill country encompassing a magnificent patchwork of open prairies, pristine lakes and unspoiled cross timber woodlands. This authentic slice of classic Western wilderness is home to a Texas-size equestrian community set on 5,000 acres of gorgeous wooded terrain just north of Interstate 20.
The 7-R Ranch development offers buyers a selection of one- to 10-acre ranchettes in a gated environment with first-class recreational amenities and hundreds of scenic acres set aside as private nature reserves. In addition to an on-site equestrian center with boarding stables and an extensive trail network, 7-R Ranch offers buyers a deluxe clubhouse, a separate 11,000-square-foot recreation and fitness center, tennis and racquetball courts, several private lakes stocked with bass, and a hilltop lookout with some of the most beautiful 30-mile vistas in all of Texas. Many homesites feature panoramic hill country views, and all lots are supplied with paved road access, public water and utilities. The 7-R Ranch Sundance Lodge model home is now open and ready for viewing.
