Entrance to the Montrachet development in West Fort Worth
A home is only as good as its location. One can have a 6,500-square-foot palace, but if it’s next to something unsightly, foul, or simply uninteresting, then its value and purpose as a living space become far less. But, if it’s on a hillside overlooking a particular downtown of a particular city, then the property itself becomes a showpiece.
This year’s Dream Home, which partners some of the most talented people in the local homebuilding industry, including builders, architects, interior designers, and numerous subcontractors, is set to take place inside one of Fort Worth’s premiere developments, Montrachet. This marks the second time the magazine has partnered with Montrachet on a Dream project.
This year’s builder team of Scott Sengali and Brad Davidson of The Morrison Group is partnering with interior designer Susan Semmelmann of Susan Semmelmann Interiors to deliver a 4-bed, 7,000-square foot home that promises to be unlike anything we’ve ever done before.
Located in West Fort Worth next to sister development Montserrat, Montrachet began building magnificent, multi-million-dollar homes on its gorgeous lots in 2021. The following year, Fort Worth Magazine hosted its three-home Dream Street within the high-end community.
Distinguishing itself from other residential developments in Fort Worth, Montrachet gives Cowtown’s prairies a little taste of the hill country. The property’s live oaks and cedars dot large rolling hills, and even a pecan orchard exists on the north side of the property.
Feeling fortunate to build on the lot selected, the 2025 Dream Home will include breathtaking views of downtown Fort Worth with steep hills in the foreground.
With 169 lots on 254 acres, lot sizes range from .25 acres to 7 acres. Security features include a 24-hour manned guardhouse. The property also includes a resort-style amenity center, which features a pool, outdoor cabana, cooking area, firepit, putting green, and pickleball and Bocce courts, all with dramatic views. And for those who simply enjoy spending time in nature, Montrachet contains over 50 acres of parks and green spaces, which include miles of hiking and biking trails, and a 75-year-old pecan orchard.
The property’s developers, brothers Colby and Donnie Siratt of Siratt Partners, got into the development business in 1999 with Covered Bridge Canyon in Parker County. Their second project became Montserrat after their father initially purchased the property as a family ranch.
Touring for this year’s Dream Home will begin in May, and proceeds from ticket will benefit a Wish with Wings, a Fort Worth-based nonprofit that grants wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions.
