Community Showcase - The Newest Luxury Community in Fort Worth, Montserrat

Fort Worth has embraced its newest luxury real estate community, Montserrat.  Montserrat is located off the west 820 North split in southwest Fort Worth.  Up-and-coming as one of the leading gated communities in the city, the history of Montserrat is richly portrayed through a prominent Fort Worth family.

Don Siratt, who founded WDS Partners trucking company, and his wife Gloria were enjoying a prominent life in Fort Worth, Texas.  Don and Gloria have 4 children and many grandchildren.  In 2003, Don and Gloria purchased 143 acres of Fort Worth land to build a family ranch including several homes for their children, quite a perfect place for a tranquil family estate.  The Siratt's children visited the estate and embraced its location, rolling hills, and tranquility.  But, the family ranch plan took a turn - two of Don and Gloria's sons had a different idea: turn the 143 acres into a luxurious and private gated community.  The close proximity to Fort Worth and country-like atmosphere made it a perfect resort styled community for Fort Worth's elite.  And here it is today, an affluent and successful neighborhood gaining an increasingly popular reputation.

The story of Montserrat is one centered around family.  The Siratt's have designed a luxury community centered around these very same family values.  With a 17 wooded acre nature park, creek, picnic area with fireplaces, and a 2 acre park, no amenities were spared in making this community one of a kind and very family-friendly.

The community includes 75 lots ranging from .5 of an acre to 3 acres and prices from $100,000 to $500,000.  Home appraisals in the community range from $500,000 to $5,000,000.  Donnie Siratt, one of the sons, said commenting on Monserrat, "Another developer might have come in and crammed 150 houses on small lots.  We want to leave as much land undisturbed as possible so this is a comfortable, safe place where people are proud to live."  Did he hit the nail on the head or what!

Notable residents include Bob Simpson, former Founder/CEO at XTO Energy, Christopher Fraser, chemical executive, and many more.

Montserrat is a unique, inviting, and family centered private community that embraces the Flyover Country living atmosphere at its finest.  If you every get the opportunity to live in Montserrat, take it.
