When it comes to lake view neighborhoods there are few getting more buzz right now than The Sanctuary at Lake Ridge on Joe Pool Lake in Cedar Hill, Texas. Just west of the critically praised Tangle Ridge Golf Club you will find this multi-phase gated community with elevated bluff views of both Joe Pool Lake and 600 acres of wooded Federal Conservation land. The layout of the neighborhood is an intimate one, with a single street that winds from the hilltop of Phase I down into Phase II, interlaced with private cul-de-sacs and no cross streets. This intimacy is balanced with spacious lots that range from a half to 1.7 acres, and the location along the south-eastern ridge of Joe Pool Lake, which means a literal haven of peace and quiet that is free from the sounds of cars or motor boats.

Phase I of The Sanctuary at Lake Ridge was opened several years ago to a welcoming crowd of buyers and over half the inventory is now sold out. It offers panoramic views of 3000 acres of rolling hills and trees to the South which are rivaled only by the highpoint Northern views spanning from Dallas to Fort Worth. Even Dallas Cowboys stadium can be seen from such heights and the nightscape of twinkling city lights and brilliant stars give this small exclusive neighborhood a hallmark status among the many communities of Lake Ridge. It is the most popular place at Lake Ridge to watch the annual 4th of July fireworks over Joe Pool Lake.
Phase II of The Sanctuary at Lake Ridge will officially open in September of 2011 and is lower in elevation but offers more choices in mature hardwood shade trees, flat build sites, and hilltop views. Homesite sizes here will range from half to 1 acre, with options to replat into larger acreage lots. Phase II also offers more homesites with views of Joe Pool Lake than Phase I and will be lower in cost; in fact, compared to other lake view neighborhoods that are centrally located in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, The Sanctuary Phase II currently ranks as the #1 consumer best buy for overall price, views, lifestyle, location, and investment potential.
Both phases of The Sanctuary offer a unique amenity unlike any other community in Lake Ridge—permission to camp,

bike, or hike onto the beautiful U.S. Army Corp of Engineers private property that surrounds the neighborhood. Many of the homesite backyards border this property, thus offering permanent views of undeveloped trees and water. Residents can also maintain their own walking/biking path down to a private lagoon area of Joe Pool Lake for camping, fishing, or just relaxation.
The Sanctuary at Lake Ridge is expected to be the showcase neighborhood of Lake Ridge, already attracting the likes of former professional athletes, recording artists, and TV/film actors. Aside from the multi-million dollar luxury homes going in there, more modest-sized/priced homes are also among them, adding a unique flavor of diversity to the atmosphere that has come to be common at Lake Ridge in general. Home to families, empty nesters, and seniors alike—there are few lake view communities in all of North Texas with a better mix of small town Americana and modern ambiance.
