Let’s be honest with ourselves, Dallas. As the Texas summer heat starts to crank up, the allure of a 55-minute dash down to Cedar Creek Lake becomes less of a want and more of an absolute mental health necessity. But if you’ve spent any time shopping the shorelines lately, you know that finding a turnkey, brand-new construction estate that can also host a crowd without everyone tripping over each other is easier said than done.
Enter 4054 Smothers Rd. in Caney City.
The estate (virtually staged here to give you some added inspiration) is listed by Debbie French of the Ebby Halliday Cedar Creek Lake office. The Debbie French Real Estate Group, which was recently ranked the No. 1 medium-sized team at Cedar Creek Lake in the newly released 2026 RealTrends Verified rankings, knows this market better than anyone.
“This brand-new Caney City estate represents the height of luxury lake entertaining,” said French. “It’s strategically sited on a private, electronically gated 0.58-acre lot, and commands gorgeous views with its staggering 230 feet of wide-open, deep water shoreline. That means uninterrupted, panoramic sunset photos that will make your feed the envy of all your Instagram buddies.”
Space for the Whole Guest List
The main residence clocks in at 4,682 square feet of pure, wood-beamed, light-filled sophistication. Thoughtfully designed for multi-generational gatherings, it boasts a whopping seven bedrooms and six-and-a-half bathrooms.
The floor plan is brilliantly engineered with two waterside primary suites (no fighting over who gets the best view), three additional downstairs ensuite bedrooms, a private office for those “work from the lake” on Fridays, and an epic upstairs bunk room outfitted with four full-size bunks.
At the heart of the home is a chef’s kitchen that means business. We’re talking a 10-foot island overlooking the living area, a heavy-duty Wolf appliance package featuring an eight-burner double oven range, a built-in refrigerator, and dual pantries.
The Ultimate Toy Box and Guest Quarters
For the discerning lake buyer, the amenities outside the main house are what truly set this property into a league of its own. First, let’s talk about the shop. For anyone with ATVs, jet skis, or a classic car collection, the separate four-bay, spray-foam-insulated shop is a total dream. Complete with epoxy floors and mini-split HVAC systems, it’s a climate-controlled sanctuary for your lake toys.
Perched alongside is a detached 620-square-foot guest house. With a full kitchen, living area, dedicated bedroom, and its own laundry hookups, it is the ultimate VIP suite for guests who value a little extra privacy.
Resort-Level Outdoor Living
When you aren’t out on the water, the lakeside entertaining pavilion is where you’ll live. It features a covered kitchen with a stone wood-burning fireplace, a built-in gas grill, a separate griddle, a fridge, and an ice maker.
Steps away, the brand-new, top-tier boathouse is ready for action. Outfitted with low-maintenance composite decking, it includes dual PWC lifts, two boat slips with an upgraded lift and cradle designed specifically for a massive wake boat, a covered seating area, and an expansive upper party deck for catching those much-appreciated Texas breezes.
Best of all? The property comes equipped with a whole-home Generac generator, well water with a 1,550-gallon fresh water tank, and a buried propane tank…
