Location
Bridgewater is a gated community on Bois d’Arc Lake and is uniquely positioned near one of the lake’s most important access points. Located in Dodd City within Fannin County, the community sits just off FM 897 near both the FM 897 Boat Ramp and the FM 897 Bridge, which connects the north and south sides of the lake.
This central positioning makes Bridgewater especially appealing for homeowners who want efficient access across the lake, whether heading toward neighboring communities, public amenities, or surrounding towns. While the lake spans nearly 17,000 acres and sits approximately 60 miles north of Dallas, Bridgewater’s location allows residents to move easily between Bonham, Sherman, Paris, and the DFW Metroplex, without feeling isolated or removed from daily conveniences.
Community Features
Bridgewater is designed for buyers seeking a low-density, intentionally planned lake community with a strong emphasis on location and flexibility. The gated neighborhood includes just 53 total properties, offering a mix of waterfront and water-view homesites that support a wide range of custom home designs.
Homeowners may select their own custom home builder and build on their own timeline, with construction required to be completed within 12 months of breaking ground. Rather than focusing on extensive resort-style development, Bridgewater emphasizes thoughtful land use, spacing between homes, and long-term livability, making it well suited for both full-time residents and second-home owners.
Amenities
Amenities at Bridgewater are intentionally limited and functional, designed to support lake access, mobility, and community gathering without overbuilding.
Community amenities include:
- Clubhouse
- Community Marinas
- Immediate proximity to the FM 897 Boat Ramp
- Putt Putt
- Walking and Golf Cart Paths
- Second-story patio
- Outdoor cooking and gathering area
This approach creates a relaxed environment that prioritizes ease of access and everyday usability.
