Spanish Colonial estate home on Crystal Falls Golf Course.

DeKeratry Custom Homes built this amazing home as a speculative home on the Crystal Falls Golf Course in Grand Mesa at Crystal Falls.

Vision

I always wanted to build a home that would reflect my desires and experiences, without the restrictions normally imposed by regulations in certain developments.  I have always admired Grand Mesa at Crystal Falls because the developers allowed a variety of builders instead of being totally dominated by the large volume builders.  I found a great lot backing up to the golf course and with a gentle slope backwards from the main street.  Also, surrounded by large beautiful homes

After I acquired this lot, I contacted a good friend, architectural designer, to help me design a home that would allow for the best views of the golf course and at the same time design the house to maximize a shady back porch.  We achieved this and therefore designed a huge back covered porch that lies totally in the afternoon shade.  I put a lot of emphasis on this feature because I know how the hot Texas sun can prevent one from enjoying a home due to excess heat at your back yard.

Results

So this was one item feature I truly wanted to have built in this home.  I also built the back porch with a lot of gusto, tiled floor, exposed wooden beams, colonnade with wrought iron railing and a view to be desired.  Specially designed to have a pool, gardens and playgrounds, which the buyers built.

The house is one of the most beautiful homes I have ever built.  Spacious, a Spanish Colonial theme. The best of materials and workmanship went in to complete this home.  I took a lot of pleasure in finding just the right accent fixtures to complement this home.  I bought one particular bath vanity from the “Treasury” at the Oasis which complimented the guest bath.  These are things that I like to do whether it is for a customer or for a speculative home.  Builder’s take pride when they build a home.  I especial do because I know that after we are gone we leave a legacy in stone.

I hope you enjoy seeing the photos on our website of this home and many others I have built.
