​

Loch Meadow Estates is a small neighborhood of roughly 24 to 25 custom homes on Loch Meadow Court in northwest Southlake, Texas, 76092, Tarrant County, reached from Highway 114 via Carroll Avenue, Dove Road and Ridgecrest Drive. Homes were built between about 2001 and 2009 and run from roughly 4,900 to nearly 8,700 square feet on lots averaging about 1.16 acres, with several at 1.24 and 1.37 acres. Some lots back directly to Corps of Engineers land, which means the green space behind them cannot be built on. The neighborhood is served by Carroll ISD, and the association is inexpensive at roughly $525 to $625 a year. Nitin Gupta, CRS, GRI, CLHMS, ALHS, Broker Associate with Competitive Edge Realty, represents buyers and sellers here and across Southlake.

Backing to Corps of Engineers land is a permanent advantage

Listing records for at least one property here describe a 1.24-acre lot backing to Corps of Engineers land, and others note greenbelt adjacency. That matters more than a typical view lot: federally held Corps land around the lake system is not going to be developed into houses behind you, so the outlook and the privacy are effectively permanent in a way a fence line or a neighboring builder's plan never is.

If that is part of why you are buying, confirm exactly what sits behind the specific lot, whether it is Corps land, a city greenbelt or a private parcel, using the survey and the plat rather than the listing photos. Also check drainage and grading along that boundary and current floodplain mapping, since properties adjoining open land and creek systems carry their own water considerations.

Low dues for an acre-lot neighborhood

Listing records show association dues at roughly $54 to $58 a month, or about $525 to $625 a year. That is low by Southlake standards and consistent with what it funds: a small neighborhood with common area maintenance and management rather than a clubhouse, pool or trail system. For a buyer comparing monthly cost across neighborhoods, the difference against an amenity community charging $1,200 to $2,900 is real, and it is a fair trade if you would not use those facilities. Request the current assessment, what it covers, the architectural guidelines and the reserve position before making an offer. Read about the Texas HOA resale certificate and what it discloses.

Taxes on this street average about $23,600 a year

Public data puts the average annual property tax on Loch Meadow Court at roughly $23,600, and the average lot at about 50,312 square feet. At that level taxes run near $2,000 a month before principal, interest, insurance and dues, and because taxes follow the appraised value rather than the seller's basis, a purchase can trigger a reassessment above what the seller was paying. Confirm the assessed value, exemptions and combined rate for the specific address with the Tarrant Appraisal District and budget for what the bill becomes.

What homes cost

Current activity includes a 7,556-square-foot home on Loch Meadow Court offered at $2,750,000. Older summaries describing the neighborhood at $1.1 million to $1.8 million, or citing a median sale near $1,550,000 at about $250 per square foot, reflect earlier sales and are no longer a useful benchmark: the Southlake market has moved substantially since those figures were recorded.

With roughly two dozen homes ranging from about 4,900 to 8,700 square feet, there is no meaningful neighborhood average. Price a specific home from the closest matches on size, lot position and condition, and expect the comparable set to include acre-lot estates elsewhere in Southlake. For a current read, use the home value analysis or contact Nitin.

Schools: Carroll ISD

Listing records show Carroll ISD for homes here. Carroll runs a multi-campus progression, an elementary campus, then an intermediate campus, then a middle school, then a ninth and tenth grade high school, and finally Carroll Senior High for eleventh and twelfth grade. Confirm the specific assigned campuses for the address with the district before you write an offer. Learn more about Carroll ISD schools and compare districts with the DFW school district ratings guide.

Custom homes, so ask who built it

These are custom homes rather than production product, with V. Patrick Gray among the builders named in listing records, so materials, layouts and finish levels vary house to house even at similar square footage. Ask who built a specific home, what has been modified since, and whether permits were pulled for significant work. That variation is also why comparable selection here has to weigh build quality alongside size.

What to check on a 2001 to 2009 estate

Homes of this age and size carry multiple HVAC systems, large roof areas and extensive plumbing, and at 5,000 to 8,700 square feet replacement costs are substantial. Add foundation performance, windows, pool and spa equipment, and the age and quality of any renovation. On acre-plus lots with mature trees, check irrigation coverage, drainage and grading, tree health near the structure and fencing along the rear boundary. The seller's disclosure covers only what the seller knows, so the inspection period is where the real information comes from. Learn about the Texas option period.

Location

Loch Meadow Estates sits in northwest Southlake off Ridgecrest Drive, north of Dove Road, a short drive from Southlake Town Square for shopping and dining, with SH 114 nearby, the entrance to DFW International Airport a short drive and Grapevine Lake and its Corps land close by. Westlake, Trophy Club, Grapevine and Keller are all within a few minutes. Drive your own commute at the hours you would travel before committing.

Comparing Loch Meadow Estates with other Southlake neighborhoods

Among acre-lot options, Laurelwood Park offers about 25 homes on full acres in a central location with similarly modest dues, Clariden Ranch offers about 115 homes with a park and fishing pond, The Enclave offers about ten larger estates, and Lakes of La Paloma is gated with waterfront lots. Buyers who would rather have amenities than land look at Kirkwood Hollow or Estes Park. What distinguishes Loch Meadow Estates is acre-plus lots, low dues and, on some lots, protected land behind. See the DFW communities directory.

Selling a home in Loch Meadow Estates

With about two dozen homes, yours will usually be the only one available, so buyers will compare it against acre-lot estates across Southlake and Westlake. Two things belong in the marketing: the lot size, which listing photos rarely convey, and what backs the property, since Corps or greenbelt adjacency is a permanent feature a buyer will pay for. Pricing should come from the closest size and lot matches rather than an older neighborhood median. See the seller marketing plan and seller services.
