Located on 3 scenic acres in the desirable Running Springs acreage neighborhood between Pilot Point and Aubrey, this well-maintained single-story custom home offers privacy, functionality, and room for horses. Positioned at the back of the neighborhood, the home provides approximately 2,208 square feet of interior living space, three bedrooms, a spacious living area centered around a brick gas fireplace, and a dedicated home office.
The kitchen features granite countertops, stainless appliances, double ovens, and an open connection to the dinette. The primary suite includes an adjoining flex room that is ideal as a private sitting area, dressing room, or expanded closet space. Wood floors extend through the foyer, living areas, office, kitchen, and dining space, with tile in both bathrooms and the oversized utility room. The home was wonderfully updated in 2020, including the kitchen and baths, paint, flooring, countertops, and appliances. The attached two-car garage includes a walk-in storm shelter and a door to the fenced backyard.
A covered back patio, accessible from the main living space, opens to a nice gazebo, which leads to a flagstone patio with a fire pit, all under a canopy of mature shade trees that create a comfortable outdoor setting.
The property is set up for horses with pipe and no-climb pasture fencing, a loafing shed, and sandy loam soil. Additional improvements include a 24 x 30 covered outbuilding suitable for boat or RV storage, and a 40 x 52 classic lofted wood barn with decades of character, updated with attractive metal siding, and two horse stalls with direct access to the pasture.
Running Springs in Pilot Point is an established, single-access neighborhood of homes on acreage. Just minutes from Lake Ray Roberts, residents can enjoy quick access to boating, fishing, equestrian and hiking trails, and expansive Corps of Engineers land for year-round outdoor recreation.
Pilot Point blends small‑town character with the kind of natural beauty and open space that’s getting harder to find in North Texas. Set along the eastern edge of Lake Ray Roberts, the community offers a quieter, more relaxed pace while still keeping residents within an easy drive of Denton, Frisco, and the Dallas North Tollway corridor. The historic town square, local shops, and community events give the area a welcoming feel, and the surrounding farmland and rolling countryside create a sense of space that appeals to anyone looking to step back from the congestion of larger suburbs.
People are drawn to Pilot Point for its access to outdoor recreation, strong sense of community, and the opportunity to enjoy acreage living without sacrificing convenience. Lake Ray Roberts, the state park units, and the Greenbelt Corridor provide miles of trails, water activities, and year‑round outdoor enjoyment. At the same time, the area continues to grow responsibly, adding new amenities while preserving its rural charm. For many, Pilot Point strikes the ideal balance: a peaceful, scenic place to call home with the benefits of major employment, dining, and retail centers just minutes away.
Lake Ray Roberts is one of North Texas’ most inviting outdoor destinations, offering a wide mix of recreation on and off the water. The lake’s clear, open stretches make it ideal for boating, fishing, paddling, and swimming, while its quieter coves attract birdwatchers and nature lovers throughout the year. Surrounding woodlands and prairie edges give the area a natural, spacious feel that’s increasingly rare so close to major communities.
The two state park units—Isle du Bois on the south side and Johnson Branch on the north—provide campgrounds, swim beaches, boat ramps, picnic areas, and trail access for hikers, cyclists, and horseback riders. Isle du Bois connects to several popular routes, including scenic walking paths and the well‑known DORBA mountain‑bike loops. Beyond the parks, the Greenbelt Corridor extends along the Elm Fork of the Trinity River, offering miles of shaded trails and opportunities for kayaking or canoeing when water levels allow.
Together, the lake, parks, and trail systems create a versatile outdoor hub where visitors can explore nature, stay active, or simply enjoy a quiet day by the water.
