Exterior And Lot Features You’ll Actually Use

The curb appeal of a home on this scale speaks for itself: large circular driveways, generous setbacks from neighbors, and acreage to customize. On many of these lots you can orient the home to maximize views or privacy, and there's enough lawn for gardens, a pool, or a backyard oasis.

Inside The Home: Layout, Flow, And Practical Details

The design is intelligent and livable. As you enter, a bright office sits just off the foyer, ideal for work-from-home life. The ground floor hosts an open-plan family room flowing into a breakfast nook and kitchen with large sliding doors that visually expand the space and open to the backyard.

Kitchen And Pantry

Expect tall, dark cabinetry and thoughtful finishes. The pantry in this plan is enormous — easily big enough to be called a food closet — and is one of the most practical features for families who cook or entertain frequently.

Primary Suite Layout

The primary suite gives separation and quiet: a generous sleeping area with a private alcove and two very large walk-in closets. The primary bath includes a dual-shower layout with a rainfall head and an intelligently placed toilet room that preserves privacy for early risers.

Bedrooms And En Suite Baths

Every bedroom has its own bathroom. That’s five en suite baths plus an additional powder room — an ownership luxury that makes hosting and family life much easier. Upstairs, there is a media room and flexible living area that can be turned into a game room, second living area, or bar.

Systems, Efficiency, And Maintenance Considerations

These homes are built with modern mechanics and homeowner-friendly systems. Pay attention to the following features that add real day-to-day value:

  • Two-Stack HVAC System — Separate systems for downstairs and upstairs help regulate temperatures efficiently across a near-5,000-square-foot home.
  • On-Demand Water Heater — Instant hot water for long showers and less wasted energy.
  • Sprinkler System With Rain Sensor — The irrigation ties into a sensor so watering cycles can be skipped automatically when it rains, saving water and money.
  • Spray Foam & Blown-In Insulation — Spray foam in the attic and blown-in insulation help keep interior temps lower in summer; expect savings on cooling bills and improved comfort. For a house this size, owners might see summertime electric bills in the range of $150 to $200 if thermostats are kept moderately low. North-coast thermostat habits (like keeping the house at 65) will raise costs.
  • Quarterly Perimeter Pest Treatment — A plug-in pest system with quarterly professional spraying creates a barrier around the lower walls and reduces common pests like crickets, spiders, and cockroaches.

Home Orientation And The Blue Tape Walk

Expect a home orientation and a blue tape walkthrough before closing. Builders use blue tape to mark small touch-ups, paint corrections, or hardware adjustments. This is normal. A third-party inspection and the builder’s punch list typically resolve these items, and the house should be 100 percent complete by closing.

Outdoor Living And Privacy Options

The acre lots in Las Brisas give you options: pools, expansive patios, outdoor kitchens, or large planted buffers for privacy. Some lots back to lakes or protected green spaces and may include a privacy wall on certain sites. The builder often adds trees and additional landscaping to enhance privacy and curb appeal.

Why Acre Lots in Sunnyvale, TX Offer Unmatched Value

Pricing at $824,000 for homes that can be configured at nearly 4,700 square feet on an acre lot is uncommon in many parts of the country. Equivalent properties in other high-cost metro areas often exceed $2 million for similar size and lot. In Sunnyvale, you get large-scale family homes with top schools and acreage at a value compared to coastal cities.

Who Should Buy Luxury Homes on Acre Lots in Sunnyvale, TX?

These homes suit buyers who:

  • Want space for kids to run, backyard entertaining, or a future pool.
  • Value an A-rated school district and short commute times to a major metro.
  • Prefer quieter, country-style roads without sacrificing access to Dallas amenities.
  • Need multiple en suite bedrooms for multigenerational living, guests, or home offices with privacy.

Top Amenities in Las Brisas, Sunnyvale, TX

Living in Las Brisas at Stoney Creek extends beyond a single lot. Shared amenities include:

  • Two community pools for recreation and relaxation
  • Walking and biking trails
  • Fitness center and clubhouse
  • Access to a 13-acre private lake for fishing and casual boating

Design Tips for Acre Lot Homes in Sunnyvale, TX

If you own an acre, think about these priorities first:

  1. Define Zones — Create separate areas for pool/entertainment, lawn, vegetable garden, and a private retreat with trees or fences.
  2. Think Long-Term — Install infrastructure now for lighting, irrigation, and pool equipment to avoid digging later.
  3. Landscape For Privacy — Use trees and hedges along property lines; they mature and provide shade and sound buffering.
  4. Plan for Maintenance — An acre requires management. Automate irrigation and add mulched beds to reduce mowing tasks.
