Are there lake-view homes for sale in Rowlett, Texas? Yes. A fully furnished 2025 home at 2516 Ballaster Mews in Rowlett's Lake Park community offers lake views from nearly every room, set on an elevated homesite overlooking Lake Ray Hubbard.

Some homes happen to have a view. This one was built around it. From the elevated homesite at 2516 Ballaster Mews in Rowlett's Lake Park community, Lake Ray Hubbard becomes part of nearly every room — and the windows, the floor plan, and two private balconies were all arranged to keep it that way.

It's also offered fully furnished, which is uncommon for a home at this level. Everything is already in place, so whether you're relocating, looking for a second home on the water, or simply want to skip the months it takes to furnish a new build, you can move in and start living the day you close. On top of that, the current owners invested more than $300,000 in improvements after the home was built — so the next owner inherits the result without the wait, the cost, or the decisions.

Here's what the home offers, what daily life looks like in Lake Park, and the details worth knowing before you tour.

Key Takeaways

This newly built 2025 home sits on an elevated, lake-view homesite in Rowlett's Lake Park community, with views of Lake Ray Hubbard from nearly every room.
It's offered fully furnished and move-in ready — a turnkey option for relocation buyers, second-home buyers, or anyone who wants to skip furnishing a new home.
The current owners added more than $300,000 in post-construction improvements — including the side balcony, outdoor living and dining areas, outdoor kitchen, generator, greenhouse, and gated parking — which the next owner gets without the wait or the cost.

Mornings Over Lake Ray Hubbard

The two upstairs balconies are where this home earns its title. They open off a large gameroom and look straight out over Lake Ray Hubbard, which makes them the best seats in the house for sunrise reflections on the water and the long light at the end of the day.

You don't have to go upstairs to find the view, though. Expansive windows carry it through the main living areas, and the home was oriented so the water reads as a constant backdrop rather than something you catch from one corner. The primary suite shares that orientation, so the lake is the first thing you see in the morning.

A Home Where Inside and Outside Blend

The heart of the home is an open living space that connects directly to the outdoors through multi-panel sliding glass doors. Open them and the covered patio becomes an extension of the family room, with lake breezes and the view flowing through the whole space — the way a home on the water is supposed to work.

The kitchen anchors that space and is built to host. It features a waterfall island, generous cabinetry, GE Profile appliances, a five-burner gas cooktop, a granite farmhouse sink, and a wood vent hood, with plenty of room to prep whether you're cooking a quiet dinner or feeding a crowd. Throughout the home, the finishes are a clear step above standard new construction: engineered wood flooring, quartz surfaces, iron stair balusters, and designer lighting.

The primary suite is a true retreat, with a spa-style bath that includes dual quartz vanities, a soaking tub, an oversized walk-in shower, a built-in medicine cabinet, and a walk-in closet.

Outdoor Living, Fully Built Out

Plenty of homes have a patio. This one has an outdoor program. The backyard is set up as a series of usable spaces rather than a single slab:

A covered outdoor living room with a mounted television, comfortable year-round.
A covered dining area and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen that make hosting effortless.
Additional patio space for seating, conversation, and taking in the surroundings.

What ties the outdoor spaces together is how much of it was added after the home was built. The current owners invested more than $300,000 in post-construction improvements — the side balcony, the outdoor living and dining areas, the outdoor kitchen, a 12,500-watt generator, a greenhouse, a potable water storage system, and an additional gated parking and storage area sized for a boat, an RV, or extra vehicles. Paired with the home's two-car garage, EV charging capability, a storage building, and professionally landscaped grounds, it adds up to a property where the major outdoor work, cost, and decisions are already handled — with nothing left to wait on.

Move-In Ready, Fully Furnished

The fully furnished offering is what makes this home genuinely turnkey. The furniture, the finishes, and the outdoor setup are all in place, so there's no gap between closing and actually enjoying the home.

That matters most if you're relocating to the Dallas-Fort Worth area on a timeline, adding a weekend home on the water, or buying from out of state and would rather not coordinate furnishing a new build from a distance. You're acquiring a finished result, not a project.
