Montserrat

Montserrat is a guard-gated estate community on the ridges of west Fort Worth, known for large homesites, views of the downtown skyline and about 30 acres of private parkland. The Agency Dallas represents buyers and sellers in Montserrat and markets homes here to qualified buyers across North Texas.

What is Montserrat?

Montserrat sits in the 76126 ZIP code in west Fort Worth, carved from about 143 acres above Mary's Creek. Depending on the lot, homes look east toward downtown Fort Worth or west across open countryside. The community includes roughly 30 acres of green space, including Sagrada Park, a 17-acre nature park with walking trails, and Ridgetop Park with open space and fishing ponds. Entry is through a 24-hour staffed gate.

Homesites run as large as about five acres, and homes here include some of the largest in Fort Worth, with French chateau, Mediterranean and contemporary designs under strict architectural standards. Chisholm Trail Parkway puts downtown about 17 minutes away. Next door, the newer Montrachet neighborhood adds 245 acres and 168 homesites ranging from a quarter acre to seven acres.

What do homes cost in Montserrat?

• Redfin recorded a recent Montserrat sale at $2.45 million, or about $432 per square foot.
• The largest estates trade far higher. One roughly 19,000-square-foot estate on more than two acres was cut by $1 million to $6.5 million before heading to auction.
• Typical market time has run around 57 to 86 days, faster than Westover Hills or Mira Vista.

Because home sizes vary from about 5,000 to nearly 20,000 square feet, price per square foot alone misleads. We value Montserrat homes against sales of similar size, lot and view.

Who buys in Montserrat?

• Families who want a large new or newer home with a guarded gate and parks inside the community.
• Buyers who want skyline views and acreage within city limits.
• Ranch owners who want a Fort Worth base close to Aledo and Parker County.
