Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty | One of America’s Hottest Markets

“In Tarrant County, houses are moving,” says Zareen Khan, director of sales at the Cultural District office of Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty. The first quarter of 2017 saw double the number of sales of homes over $1 million than the first quarter of 2016.

That tracks directly with Forbes’ naming Fort Worth the ninth-hottest housing market in the U.S. just last year. The home prices boggle: Fort Worth’s are up nine percent, year-over-year for three years, and are predicted to go up 17 percent in the next three years.

Here, just three ultra-luxury listings in Fort Worth and its surrounding areas.

The grand home at 1112 Post Oak Place in Westlake is on a 1.5-acre lakefront lot overlooking the Vaquero Club golf course. The Country French–style house features exceptional luxuries: a gourmet kitchen with banquette seating; dual offices with fireplaces; heated floors in the master bath; an exercise studio and a basement safe room. The home is represented by Jeff Watson and Cheryl Staley for $6,700,000.

The contemporary estate at 6208 Indian Creek Drive in Fort Worth’s Westover Hills is along the golf course at Shady Oaks Country Club and is masterfully renovated by Schwarz-Hanson Architects. A glass wall looks onto the garden and courtyard from the dining room, while the second-floor master suite has sweeping views of the course. The home is represented by John Zimmerman for $3,900,000.

The custom home at 1309 Biltmore Drive in Southlake’s Westwyck Hills has many perks; a wine room; a separate catering kitchen; a tiered media room; two game rooms; and a master suite with coffee bar, luxurious bath and exercise room. The home is represented by Marilyn Newton for $2,500,000.
