The morning sun filters through the towering glass windows of The Aurora, casting golden light across the bleached pecan floors as you sip your coffee in silence. You breathe in the stillness—62 acres of unspoiled lakefront, private and untouched. Today, there's no rush.

You begin in the greenhouse, picking herbs before wandering toward the private courtyard where sunlight flickers across the Shou Sugi Ban exterior. Midday, you host friends in the Tea Room—modern Italian kitchen alive with conversation, cocktails flowing onto the sun-drenched deck.

Later, a walk through the trees leads to the chapel, where light streams through open walls—a place for reflection, serenity, or celebration. As evening arrives, guests gather on the sunset deck overlooking Lake Fork, the sky painted in oranges and violets.

Laughter echoes from the firepit. The scent of cedar and smoke lingers. As the stars appear, you look across your estate—multiple homes glowing softly under the moon—and feel what few ever get to feel: you don’t just own land here. You own a legacy.
