A new standard of modern country living has arrived with The Vale, an exceptional estate in the Texas town of Sunnyvale. Represented by Melissa Platt and Ali Vollmer, this custom-built equestrian compound offers over 28 private acres of lush, animal-friendly serenity just 30 minutes from Dallas.
Crafted by Phillip Jennings Custom Homes, The Vale offers modern functionality and is designed to celebrate every member of the family—including those with four legs.
Inside, the main residence features hardwood floors, high ceilings, sleek, curated finishes, generous entertaining areas, and walls of windows that frame panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The Vale beautifully blends contemporary sophistication with the timeless comforts of home.
At the heart of The Vale is one of its most unique features: a dedicated dog room (see below). More than a novelty, this space has been purpose-built with built-in storage, easy-to-clean surfaces, and direct access to a fenced outdoor run, making baths and exercise an easy process for pups and their people.
“The Vale is a wonderfully modern country estate just outside Dallas,” says Melissa Platt. “Whether you’re a seasoned rider or a devoted dog lover, this property’s thoughtful features and amenities make life seamless and fun.”
For equestrian enthusiasts, The Vale’s 16,000-square-foot barn includes lounge and entertainment spaces, and the professional-grade riding arena has been meticulously designed for both daily training and weekend leisure. Additional amenities include a spacious back patio, a fire pit, pool, hot tub, built-in barbecue, outdoor shower, playground and ample storage.
“For families who view their pets as part of the family, The Vale makes sure they’re not just included but prioritized,” added Ali Vollmer. “This is a home where every member of the pack will thrive.”
