And here's a personal note from Tom Grisak, the listing agent.  He and his family have lived right down the street from this home for the past 17 years and know it well.  This is why they love living here ...

Traffic is very limited because Ramsay isn’t a thru street.  It's basically only used by the residents of the 26 home neighborhood.  It’s a very quiet neighborhood.

Nights are dark and you can look up and see the stars.  The home is in far east Lucas which is right next to Lake Lavon with no lights.  And because all of the homes here are on two-acre minimums, there isn’t a lot of light like you'd find in Allen's high density neighborhoods.

There are several large tracts of land at the end of Ramsay, and we enjoy seeing horses or goats every day. 

Many people might assume all of Lucas is flat and with few trees because that’s what that can be seen from the two main streets (Country Club and the Bethany Rd extension), but once you get off those streets and into the interior of Lucas it's hilly with many heavily wooded areas.

If you enjoy being close to nature, there are literally thousands of untouched acres surrounding the 21,400-acre Lake Lavon owned by the Army Corps of Engineers. We hear owls and often see road runners, bobcats, hawks, ducks and we understand there are even deer in the corps land.  It will never be developed and is a magnet for all types of wildlife. 

The Trinity Trail is a 25-mile-long hiking and equestrian trail running through the corps land around Lake Lavon. One of the entrances is only a short walk from this home down Snider Lane.  You can take long walks down these small country roads all the way to the lake.

Blondy Jhune Rd is the quickest route to Allen from this home and it's also one of the prettiest streets in Lucas.  It’s a winding, two lane, country road under a canopy of trees.  Not a day goes by we don’t appreciate living here by making that drive into Allen, only minutes away.

Believe it or not, with this kind of natural setting, you’re only about 8 minutes from 3 million plus square feet of retail, restaurants, and sports entertainment along Hwy 75 in both Allen and Fairview. You really feel like you’re living in the country, but all the conveniences are a few short minutes away.

As the areas around Lucas continue to grow, the traffic is increasing with it but we've learned how to avoid the traffic on the two main Lucas streets.  If you enjoy visiting the old McKinney Square with its shops and terrific dining, you can take a nice back road and avoid the traffic altogether.

This home is in Lovejoy School District, one of the top three perennial public-school districts within the entire state of Texas. The Texas Education Agency rates it there every year with two other very highly regarded school districts, Highland Park and Carroll.  Even if you don’t have kids attending the schools, Lovejoy ISD is the number one draw for people moving to this area, so you’ll have a large pool of buyers who are specifically wanting to be in Lovejoy ISD.  

There are now lots of kids of all ages in the Estates of Huntwick.  Those homeowners are mixed in with retired couples and empty nesters. We’re all out here for the same reasons and everyone gets along.  There's no drama.  If these things appeal to you, it’s really a wonderful neighborhood and city to raise a family.
