Farmhouse Grapevine (United States)
Willow Wood Horse Farm is without a doubt one of the finest examples of modern architecture combined with an equestrian lifestyle on 9.753+/- acres. The residence was originally designed by Lou Simmons, who collaborated with Bob Sullivan on the project to help it come into completion. Situated in the heart of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, just minutes from Lake Grapevine, Southlake, and an easy commute to DFW International Airport, this property affords someone the ability to have all the comforts of the city, while living just slightly removed from it all. The main residence and equestrian facilities are immaculate and ready for the next generation of ownership. This property is a must have for the individual desiring to be close to the city but enjoy a more peaceful and country-like setting. Improvements: This custom designed home was completed in 2022 and is truly an example of elegance. The 4,353 SF home demands attention as it sits on the highest point of the property. Hear the rumble of your tires on the cobble stone drive as you approach the house and take in the modern architectural masterpiece that awaits. Situated on either side of the main door of the home is a beautifully understated Koi pond that welcomes visitors before entering through the massive glass door and entry way. The home is constructed of insulated concrete form (ICF) with steal joists and a deck roof system. Walls and windows of the home provide superior thermal and sound insulation. After walking through the threshold, you will notice a grand view all the way through the living areas of the house, overlooking the 3,000 SF IPE back deck, 80 ft long salt water swimming pool, through the pasture to the equestrian facilities. The welcoming views are complimented by a very warm and luxurious open-concept living space that combines the living room, kitchen, and dining areas. Custom quarter sawn walnut millworker can be found throughout the kitchen and living areas as well as the rest of the residence. The kitchen is ideal for the master chef with Gagneau appliances including a steam convection oven, a conventional convection oven, coffee machine, cooktop, dishwasher, separate paneled refrigerator and freezer units, as well as a warming drawer. Just off the kitchen is a half bath and a full butler’s pantry with prep space and a full-size dishwasher. Each of the bedrooms has a unique and different view of the property. The primary bedroom features similar views to the main living area, a spacious walk-in closet, a bathroom with solid stone bath tub and wash basins by Piet Boone, and Donrbracht platinum plumbing fixtures. The two additional bedrooms have on suite bathrooms also with Donrbracht fixtures and excellent clothing storage for family or guests. All main rooms have Italian pocket door hardware with soft open/close features and are fully sealed with gaskets to aid in sound transfer between rooms when doors are closed. Journeying up and down the custom-built metal framed staircase is an artistic treat in itself. Going up the stairs to the second floor viewing area re-emphasizes the stunning views of the grounds and surrounding area, complete with a dishwasher, fridge/freezer/icemaker, a dumbwaiter, and floor to ceiling windows and doors that open to a covered porch and roof top IPE deck. The lower level of the home features an acoustically balanced theater with Dynaudio speakers and sound system designed by Ember Audio to provide a true movie theater experience from the comfort of your own home. The theatre is complete with a 250-bottle wine cooler, 8 ft concert walls, and a powder bath. All of which could also be used as a very nice storm cellar.
