The Peninsula at Bois d’Arc Lake

The story of residential development on Bois d’Arc Lake largely begins with The Peninsula.

As the first gated lakefront residential community developed on Bois d’Arc Lake, The Peninsula helped establish the market for custom-home lake living before the lake officially opened to the public.

The community contains 75 properties with a combination of lakefront and lake-view homesites. Buyers have the flexibility to work with custom builders while enjoying modern community infrastructure and an extensive amenity package.

The Peninsula’s amenities include a clubhouse with an indoor resident lounge, kitchen and bar, infinity pool, fitness center, observation deck, putt-putt, outdoor cooking areas, and access to additional shared recreational amenities.

For buyers looking for an established, amenity-rich Bois d’Arc Lake community, The Peninsula remains one of the lake’s most recognizable neighborhoods.

On the eastern side of Bois d’Arc Lake, Five Points has developed into one of the lake’s more recognizable lifestyle-oriented communities.

Five Points contains 61 properties and is conveniently located off the FM 1396 corridor, only minutes from the South FM 1396 Boat Ramp.

The community offers lakefront and lake-view homesites with underground utilities, water service, high-speed fiber, and custom-builder flexibility.

Five Points was designed around an active lake lifestyle. Amenities include a clubhouse, swimming pool, fitness center, indoor lounge, observation decks, putt-putt, outdoor cooking areas, community marinas, and golf-cart paths throughout the neighborhood.

The combination of private lakefront opportunities, shared marina facilities, amenities, and proximity to the public boat ramp makes Five Points worth considering for buyers who want to spend as much time enjoying the lake as possible.

Bois d’Arc Shores

For buyers who picture lake living surrounded by mature trees and natural scenery, Bois d’Arc Shores offers a different atmosphere.

Bridgewater

With only 53 properties, Bridgewater offers a smaller, lower-density alternative to several of the larger Bois d’Arc Lake communities.

Its location is one of its defining characteristics.

Bridgewater sits along the FM 897 corridor near the FM 897 Boat Ramp and bridge, placing residents near one of the primary north-south routes across Bois d’Arc Lake.

The community includes lakefront and lake-view homesites, with amenities including a clubhouse, community marinas, putt-putt, walking and golf-cart paths, second-story patio, and outdoor gathering areas.

Hidden Oaks

Hidden Oaks became one of the newest Bois d’Arc Lake communities to release property in 2026.

Developed by Lakewood Capital Group, Hidden Oaks contains 43 lots on approximately 58 acres along the eastern portion of Bois d’Arc Lake. The community is located off County Road 2980, which connects to FM 1396.

At only 43 lots, Hidden Oaks is considerably smaller than communities providing another option for buyers interested in the east side of the lake.

Its 2026 release also demonstrated something important about the evolution of Bois d’Arc Lake: even after the lake’s first major communities were established, demand continues to support new residential development around the shoreline.

Cypress Point & The Highlands at Cypress Point

One of the most significant new Bois d’Arc Lake developments to watch in 2026 is Cypress Point.

The project was presented and discussed during the May 12, 2026 Fannin County Lake Economic Development Committee meeting, providing additional insight into the development’s plans, infrastructure, amenities, public access, and anticipated economic impact.

Current developer materials describe Cypress Point as approximately 170 wooded acres with 112 planned lots, including 27 lakefront private dock-capable homesites and a planned 20-slip community dock.

The development plan also incorporates an extensive amenity package, including a clubhouse, central park, fishing pond, fishing pier, boardwalk, parks and playgrounds, gazebo, outdoor amphitheater, pickleball, volleyball, and walking trails.

Cypress Point’s plans are particularly noteworthy because the project combines private residential development with broader infrastructure and recreational planning.

As one of the newest communities entering the Bois d’Arc Lake market, Cypress Point represents another stage in the evolution of residential development around the lake.

Because the project remains under development, final lot counts, amenities, timelines, pricing, and other details remain subject to change as engineering and development progress.

Which Bois d’Arc Lake Community Is Right for You?

There isn’t one best Bois d’Arc Lake community for every buyer.

The better question is: How do you want to use the lake?

Someone whose priority is walking out of their future home and onto a private boat dock will evaluate properties differently from someone comfortable keeping a boat in a community marina or the future public marina.

A family looking for pools, playgrounds, golf-cart paths, and recreational amenities may favor a different neighborhood than someone prioritizing mature trees, acreage, and privacy.

A buyer looking for a weekend retreat may have different priorities than someone building a full-time residence.

And investors need to consider another layer of questions involving rental restrictions, POA rules, construction requirements, and the individual property’s long-term usability.

That’s why comparing Bois d’Arc Lake property based solely on price or acreage rarely tells the entire story.

Lakefront, Lake View & Interior Lots Aren’t the Same

Understanding the terminology used in Bois d’Arc Lake real estate listings is also important.

A lakefront property has frontage along the lake, but lakefront does not automatically mean the property can have a private boat dock.

A lakefront boat dock-capable property has shoreline where a private dock may be permitted, subject to NTMWD requirements, permitting, community restrictions, and site-specific conditions.

A lake-view property may provide significant views of Bois d’Arc Lake without having direct shoreline frontage.

An interior lot can provide another way to live within a Bois d’Arc Lake community while still enjoying neighborhood amenities. Depending on the development, access to a community marina or boat slip varies.

For buyers specifically seeking a private dock or fishing pier the property’s shoreline classification and eligibility should be verified during due diligence.

Bois d’Arc Lake Real Estate Continues to Evolve

The communities surrounding Bois d’Arc Lake tell the story of how quickly the region has changed.

The Peninsula helped launch the first wave of residential lake development in May 2023.

The Shores at The Peninsula, Five Points, The Harbor at Five Points, Bois d’Arc Shores, Bois d’Arc Pointe, and Bridgewater followed with different interpretations of lake living.

In 2026, Hidden Oaks and Cypress Point represent another generation of Bois d’Arc Lake development.

At the same time, new homes are being constructed, the first private boat docks are being completed, recreational infrastructure continues to grow, and the first public marina on Bois d’Arc Lake is moving forward.

The result is a lake real estate market with considerably more variety than existed only a few years ago.

And development isn’t finished.

As additional land is developed and infrastructure around Bois d’Arc Lake continues to mature, the list of communities and real estate opportunities may continue to change.

Whether you’re searching for a lakefront boat dock-capable lot, lake-view property, interior homesite, weekend retreat, investment property, or future full-time lake home, choosing the right community is just as important as choosing the right property.

At C4 Home and Land Team, our knowledge of Bois d’Arc Lake goes far beyond individual listings. We stay on top of new communities, shoreline regulations, private docks, marina development, amenities, and regional growth giving our clients a clearer picture of the lake today and where it’s headed.
