A First Look at Shane Homes’ Rockwall Community

This new community includes only 72 lots in its initial phase, offering rare green-belt spaces where no one will ever build behind you — a huge perk for privacy seekers and nature lovers alike. Located just minutes from shopping, top-rated Rockwall ISD schools, and major routes like I-30, it’s a commuter’s dream that doesn’t sacrifice small-town charm.

Step Inside: High-End Design Meets Livable Luxury

From the moment you walk through the solid 8-foot wood front door, you’re greeted by 20-foot ceilings, natural light, and an open-concept flow that connects living, dining, and entertaining areas.

Some standout interior details include:

• Engineered white-oak flooring with wide 7-inch planks for a modern yet warm feel.
  
  
• A home office up front with glass double doors, fluted accent wall, and outdoor visibility — perfect for work-from-home life.
  
  
• Gourmet kitchen featuring seamless quartz countertops, six-burner KitchenAid range, custom “micro-shaker” cabinetry (a sleeker take on traditional shaker), and black hardware for contrast.
  
  
• A spacious prep pantry tucked behind the kitchen, perfect for appliances and coffee setups.

Outdoor Living, Elevated

Shane Homes really nailed the outdoor design. You’ll find:

• A covered patio large enough for multiple seating areas.
  
  
• A secondary “chef’s patio” with gas hookups — perfect for grilling without smoking out your guests.
  
  
• Generous 60- to 70-foot lots, many backing to wooded greenbelts for privacy and natural views.
  
  

Imagine sipping your morning coffee as the sun rises over the trees — that’s the kind of calm you’ll find here.

Smart Layouts and Practical Touches

This model offers up to five bedrooms or a third-car garage option, giving buyers the flexibility to choose what fits their lifestyle. The mud and laundry room combo features double closets, a utility sink, and built-in storage that makes daily life easy and organized.

Upstairs, there’s a full-sized game room, multiple kids’ bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath, and plenty of storage throughout. The primary suite downstairs features split closets, a soaking tub, and dual vanities — an ideal retreat after a long day.
