Westlake · DFW · Enclave Guide
Vaquero
North Texas's benchmark for private estate living. Guard-gated, multi-acre lots, and a Tom Fazio championship course woven through the community.
The Enclave
Where DFW's leadership
chooses to live.
Set in the rolling hills of Westlake, Vaquero is one of the most exclusive addresses in Texas. Low-density, guard-gated, and built for estate-scale living, residences feature transitional brick masonry, clean-lined limestone architecture, and resort-style outdoor living on sprawling multi-acre lots.
It's a quiet remove from the city with direct access to Dallas and Fort Worth business corridors, Westlake Academy, and the region's executive airports. That combination is why Vaquero stays the first call for corporate relocations at the top of the market.

Common Questions
Vaquero — buyer FAQ
Inventory
How often do homes come available?
Vaquero turns over slowly by design. Expect 6–15 active listings at any time. The best homes trade before a public listing — having an advisor with enclave access matters.
HOA & Dues
What are the carrying costs?
Annual HOA dues cover 24-hour guard service, common area maintenance, and golf club access. Dues vary by lot size; we provide current figures during discovery.
Buying process
How private is the process?
Entirely private if you choose. We've represented buyers who never appeared on a public MLS transaction. Discretion is available at every stage.
