Chimney Rock, Flower Mound, Texas

Part of preserving "the view from the road" lies in designating conservation areas within the public viewshed. A very old log building and the chimney of the original farmhouse are all that remain to tie us back into this neighborhood's long history. I preserved another part of the frontage by creating a large ten-acre "conservancy lot," essentially non-common open space adding to the developer's bottom line, while relieving the home association of land they would otherwise be obligated to manage.
