There is a great deal of truth in the old adage that the best is always saved for last. Over the past two decades, as the city of Southlake has built out, prime land for residential development has all but vanished. Yet, as the city was transformed from a sleepy country setting into an upscale cosmopolitan suburb, there remained at its heart one last untouched vestige of land - the sprawling farmstead of a prominent founding family. This naturally beautiful, utterly pristine parcel was an oasis in the midst of progress. Now this land once occupied by one of the city's first families is a last-of-its-kind offering - an affluent, one-hundred-acre residential haven called Shady Oaks. Here, Old World influences dominate the architecture and the ambience and life plays out in luxury estate homes set against a backdrop of rolling terrain, stands of mature oak trees, preserved green spaces, parks and ponds.

But beyond its beauty is its location at the literal crossroads of the Metroplex, surrounded by a network of freeways that places every local destination within minutes of home. Shady Oaks may represent the last great piece of property in Southlake, but it also means a great beginning for you - a beautiful, but fleeting opportunity to own a very special slice of the good life.
