Lake Windcrest is a premier master-planned community in Magnolia, TX - and Ellen's home. With its beautiful 169-acre lake, resort-style amenities, and variety of home styles from custom builds to master-planned sections, Lake Windcrest offers one of the most diverse living experiences in Montgomery County.

Over 900 estate-style homes on large, wooded lots with custom finishes and many private pools
169-acre lake and horse-trail network attract buyers who value water sports and wide-open space
Non-gated but privacy-focused community layout with winding roads and green buffers
Easy access to FM-1488 and The Woodlands / Houston via 249

Key Insight
Lake Windcrest delivers true lake-and-golf-course living at a lower price point than many comparable Montgomery County estates. The HOA fee buys access to a 169-acre recreational lake, equestrian-style trails, and an 18-hole golf course - amenities that feel like a private country-club lifestyle. Ideal for affluent families, remote-work executives, and empty-nesters who want seclusion and space without leaving the Magnolia school district.

Life at Lake Windcrest
Famous for its private-lake recreation and mature tree-lined streets, Lake Windcrest isn't just a subdivision - it's a country-club-meets-Texas-estate lifestyle. Residents enjoy afternoons on the golf course, summer days on the 169-acre lake for kayaking and water sports, and evening walks along equestrian-style trails, all within 15–20 minutes of Magnolia's schools and downtown amenities.
