Sprawling Acreage in Royse City | Briggs Freeman Sotheby's International Realty

244 Longhorn Trail Royse City, Texas
Wake to the sight of fish breaking the water’s surface and end your day watching geese glide across a painted sky. Within a gated subdivision of custom homes, this 10+ acre retreat is a sanctuary for those who value conservation, privacy, and the quiet rhythm of nature. Whether enjoyed as a primary residence or a weekend escape, the property balances modern comfort with wilderness, keeping nature close at hand. Framed by trees and overlooking a winding creek, it sets the stage for birdwatching, fishing, horseback riding, or simply wandering trails alive with deer and songbirds-all less than an hour from Dallas and close to the Rockwall lake community lifestyle.

Renowned Architect Steven B. Chambers worked with the owner, a landscape architect, to create a residence of thoughtful detail, including plans for a pool and horse stable. Property improvements span nearly 2 acres while the additional expansive mature trees not only enhance the beauty of the land, but also make the acres remarkably low maintenance providing a rare balance of space, privacy, and convenience.

Designed for both relaxation and entertaining, the open kitchen flows into dining and living areas lined with windows that frame serene creek views. A stone fireplace anchors the space, while custom buffet cabinetry makes gatherings effortless. The owner’s suite offers a private retreat of its own featuring another stone fireplace, patio access, and a spa-inspired bath with garden tub, separate shower, dual vanities, and dual closets including a safe room. A dedicated study and an additional downstairs bedroom open to outdoor living, while upstairs, two guest rooms with ensuite baths welcome family and friends.

A current Wildlife Agricultural Exemption rewards the preservation of natural habitat with reduced property taxes. This estate captures the rare balance of luxury and conservation, inviting you to live in harmony with nature without sacrificing modern comfort.
