    Welcome to this extraordinary gated estate in The Orchards, where luxury meets peace of mind on over an acre of pecan-tree-lined property with private lake access. This completely remodeled 5,274 sq ft masterpiece boasts 6 bedrooms, 5 full baths, and a self-contained guest house — all thoughtfully updated from the inside out.

Add in the outdoor kitchen with Big Green Egg, fire pit, and motorized shade screens and this backyard truly has it all.
