Montserrat: Better Than Barcelona

This was written for a real estate agent who wanted content for his website that was focused on his market area (Dallas-Fort Worth).

Europe is cool. But, let’s face it: It’s small. Crowded. Old. Great place to visit, for sure. But if you want to enjoy stunning architecture with lots of swinging room, don’t book an international flight. Go home to Montserrat in West Forth Worth, Texas. Of course, you’ll have to get yourself one of those stately estates first.

Montserrat is the premier community in Fort Worth. Enclave is a better word to describe it. Not stuffy. Heck, Selena Gomez used to live there in her 10,000 square foot estate. It’s kind of like Hollywood — without being anywhere near L.A.

Unmatched Beauty

Drive through Montserrat’s guard gate and get ready to gawk. A tall stone watchtower, waterfall, and sparkling ponds are just the beginning. Spanish-inspired architecture abounds. The community features ragged cliffs reminiscent of the cliffs of Montserrat in Barcelona, Spain. Mary’s Creek lazily winds around the edge of the community. At night, the lights of downtown Fort Worth remind you that city life is still yours to revel in – when you feel like it.

Built to Last

Montserrat estates are more than beautiful. These are solidly built homes with truly fine interiors, surrounded by lush landscaping. The HOA insists upon it. Their design standards are exceedingly high. A Montserrat residence features mainly masonry material on the exterior, high-quality roofing, windows, and doors. Interiors are luxuriously appointed with one-of-a-kind stone countertops, custom cabinets, and hand-forged ironwork.

Now, there are several stately homes to choose from on the market. But maybe you’ve got a unique vision for your home that you’re just chomping at the bit to create. There are still a few lots available – from a half an acre on up. The HOA will connect you with superior homebuilders who can bring your dream to life.

Safe and Secure

There are only two entrances to Montserrat. The first is the waterfalled East Entrance exclusively for residents. The South Entrance gives you easy access to the I-820.

This gated community is guarded 24 / 7 and a security vehicle patrols the neighborhood regularly. The security cameras and perimeter fencing help keep you and your family safe and sound. The 150-foot cliffs add an extra layer of security. And you thought they were just nice to look at.

Quality of Life

World-class golf, exceptional shopping, and top private schools (like Country Day), are all close to home. (http://spiritofmontserrat.com/convenience.asp)

You can take the family on a picnic along Mary’s Creek. Or, stroll along the walking trails and admire the mature trees. The surroundings are truly breathtaking. The 17-acre Nature Park also has a sports court. Nearly everything you and your family needs is inside the gates of Montserrat or nearby. You can even go fishing in the stocked ponds in Ridgetop Park.

Play Something Country

You’re thinking, “Sounds nice, but I don’t want to live all the way out in the country.” Montserrat is fine country living — right outside the city. Fort Worth’s Cultural District is only 20 minutes away. Enjoy all that shopping and night life, then get on home to your very own rambling estate. Unlike a condo in the city, you’ll have plenty of room for guests. Some Montserrat estates have guest houses on the property.

Bella Plaza Montserrat may soon rival downtown Fort Worth. This neighboring planned commercial space will offer retail and dining. A few businesses have opened already, including Salons of Volterra. You could even open your own business in Bella Plaza as pads are still available. That will shorten your commute.

Good Ol’ Texas Charm

The elegant estates of Montserrat have old world charm, modern conveniences, and stunning surroundings — on Texas-sized lots.

You deserve to feel the luxurious comfort you’ve earned. You want to extend that feeling to friends and family. Some might call that bragging rights. You don’t need to brag, just open the door. A Montserrat estate will never disappoint.
