At Cedar Creek Lake, luxury buyers increasingly expect the same level of design, finish, and attention to detail they would find in Dallas’ most established neighborhoods. 

For Scott Post Homes, delivering that experience starts long before the first wall goes up. 

“Everything in the house is selected before construction starts so that schedules are locked in early and projects stay on track,” Scott Post said. “That’s how we keep things moving and avoid delays.”

When CandysDirt last checked in with CedarLux Properties in December, Emerald Bay was still in the early innings. Lots were selling, plans were taking shape, and the development’s long-term vision was clear — but there was not yet a finished home to walk through. Now, that home at 4529 Sapphire Way is underway — and it’s on the market.

Gary Payne has spent more than a decade building on Cedar Creek Lake, which means he knows what works — and what quietly becomes a problem later. That perspective is what led the Cedar Lux Properties founder to Emerald Bay, where he’s now delivering the community’s first spec home.

When you drive into Emerald Bay at Cedar Creek Lake, the new gated lakeside community is still taking shape, but the buzz of possibility is evident. 

See all the fun!

Lake buyers eyeing the new Emerald Bay at Cedar Creek Lake can finally experience it firsthand this Friday, Oct. 10, at the development’s first on-site celebration.

At Cedar Creek Lake, the clock is ticking for buyers eyeing Emerald Bay, a 44-acre gated community with just 62 homesites remaining. Developed by 821 Investments and led by David Craig — the North Texas developer behind Craig Ranch — Emerald Bay combines thoughtful infrastructure with resort-style amenities, designed to give buyers a seamless, low-stress path to their dream lake home.

A new luxury lakefront development is making waves at Cedar Creek Lake — and for North Texas buyers who’ve been waiting for a second-home community with thoughtful amenities, Emerald Bay may be exactly the opportunity they’ve been holding out for.
