Tarrant’s priciest digs can be found overlooking Eagle Mountain Lake, in Westlake’s Vaquero, and on a 10-acre estate in Southlake. They boast designer touches, custom-everything, plus guest quarters, putting greens, boat houses, and five-car garages. These are the three most expensive real estate listings in Tarrant County now.
An Eagle’s Nest Perched Above Eagle Mountain Lake
$6,950,000
A four-bedroom, five-bathroom waterfront perch of this caliber is a rare find. Inside, you’ll find designer finishes and lighting, with painted stonework and expansive views from every vantage point. Outside, the tiered landscaping leads to a resort-style pool and covered lounge pavilion. An enclosed boathouse is equipped with three slips and garage doors.
“Nestled behind private gates on an expansive three-acre estate, this extraordinary lakefront residence showcases breathtaking panoramic views — directly across the water from the Boat Club,” according to the listing.
Designer cabinetry in the open kitchen is painted a bold blue, while tile work in the bathrooms adds interest. There is even a private casita that adds flexibility with an additional bedroom and full bath. It is ideal for guests, extended stays or work-from-home separation from the main house.
