After lunch with friends/clients at the Fort Worth Boat Club today, Terri and I took them to see some homes in the prestigious Montserrat community in west Fort Worth.  We had visited there last year (and it was very nice at the time) during an open house tour but it is so much more impressive now compared with then.  The only other community in Fort Worth that is comparable to Montserrat's ultra high end custom homes, in terms of a gated type community, is Mira Vista.  However, Montserrat is all new or newer, whereas Mira Vista has been around for several years.  Montserrat is conveniently located very near Loop 820 and is kind of central to either north or south Fort Worth, but it is so exclusive, that you will not find any convenience or retail stores close by.  The terrain is hilly and the part of the community at the foot of the hillside is where you will find a nature park with paved trails and lots of trees (used as a buffer to the freeway).  There is guarded (manned) access into the community.  There is a massive stone walled entrance with a pond and water feature which is lavishly landscaped.  As you go through the gate it does not take long for one to realize that he/she is in the land of very large, fine, luxury homes.  The homes in this community range from about $700K and up with some being well over $2 million depending on lot size and square footage as built.  Builders have taken great care with attention to detail and varying accents from wrought iron, multi stone applications, stucco, lighting, landscaping, etc.  In general, the inside of these homes have elevators (depending on size), grand staircases, granite countertopped kitchens, numerous fireplaces (including outdoor), grand rooms, media/home theater room, pools with water features and so much more.   When, we returned home from the showings, we felt as if we have lived a somewhat very plain and simple life style.  At least that's the way I think many people will feel if they are like us after a visit to Montserrat.  It was an enjoyable visit and I look forward to going back and showing more of these properties to our customers.  If you would like to view any of the properties in this community, please give me or Terri a call or send us an email requesting an appointment.

Hope to hear from you soon!
