If you’ve been doom-scrolling and scouting for a property that doesn’t feel like every other beige box in the suburbs, pull over right now. 17515 River Hill Dr. has recently entered the chat, and it’s bringing all the Texas Hill Country vibes — without the three-hour drive to Austin. It’s so vibey, in fact, while you’re pulled over, you’ll want to enter this Sunday’s open house from 2 to 4 p.m. on your phone calendar and set a reminder.
Located in the heavy-hitting neighborhood of Bent Tree North, this Austin-stone and stucco estate sits on a roomy 0.89-acre lot. In North Dallas terms, that’s basically a private kingdom. It’s the kind of acreage where you can actually breathe, tucked away with enough privacy to make you forget you’re minutes from Preston Trail Golf Club and some of the best dining in the city.
The Culinary Flex
On the off-chance eating out is not your thing, let’s talk about the kitchen first. Because if you’re going to host, you might as well do it with Thermador horsepower. We’re talking a 48-inch dual range with a warming drawer and a griddle that says, “Yes, I can handle brunch for 12.”
“It features a built-in multi-zoned wine refrigerator and a dream-kitchen prep island, plus a second island for socializing, so you can keep the chef company while they do their thing,” said listing agent Heather Hicks.
It’s the ultimate anchor for an open-concept layout that flows better than your best playlist.
Scale, Space, and Sport
Spanning 5,944 square feet, the home offers five bedrooms, four baths, and two half-baths. It’s big, it’s bold, and it’s definitely livable. The study features a see-through fireplace (one of three in the home) that opens into the formal living area, adding a layer of architectural grit to the refined design.
“This is one of those properties that just lives well,” Hicks noted. “It has the scale, the flow, and the outdoor experience buyers are looking for right now, paired with a prime North Dallas location.”
Outside, the Hill Country vibes continue with a resort-style pool and a dedicated sports court. Whether you’re hosting a full-scale summer bash or just want a private spot for a neighborly Saturday morning shootout, this backyard delivers.
Wide open spaces like this in North Dallas don’t stay listed for long, so if you’re ready to see it in person, check out the open house this Sunday from 2 to 4 p.m…
