- A 2024 build with a neighborhood boat ramp on Cedar Creek Lake.
223 Harris Boulevard is a 2024 build in Clearwater Bay, a lake community on the Henderson County side of Cedar Creek Lake. That's the first reason to see it. The second is the lake access. The neighborhood property owners association has its own boat ramp, boat dock, and lake swimming area for members. The home isn't on the water. The ramp and the swim area are the favorites here. The third is the house. Three bedrooms, two full baths, and 1,200 square feet on one level. An open floor plan with luxury vinyl plank. A granite kitchen with stainless appliances. A primary bedroom with its own bath. The owners added a wood privacy fence and a storage shed, and there's a covered porch out front and a covered patio out back. Downtown Malakoff and Brookshire's are about 9 minutes away. Athens is about 20.

About the Home and Area
223 Harris Boulevard was built in 2024 in the Clearwater Bay subdivision, just outside Malakoff. It's a one-story home with 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and 1,200 square feet, per the county tax record.
Outside, it's board-and-batten siding and a shingle roof. A covered porch sits out front and a covered patio out back. The backyard is level and grassed, closed in by a wood privacy fence the owners added. They added a storage shed too. Parking is an open concrete drive. No garage.
Inside, the floor plan is open, with luxury vinyl plank throughout. The living room runs into the kitchen: granite counters, stainless appliances, built-in cabinets, and room to eat in. There's a separate laundry room with full-size hookups. The primary bedroom has its own bath. The other two bedrooms work as guest rooms or an office. Central heat and air, plus ceiling fans in the living room and every bedroom.
Clearwater Bay sits on Cedar Creek Lake. The lake covers 32,873 acres, according to the Tarrant Regional Water District, which owns it.
The home isn't on the water. The neighborhood is the draw. The Clearwater Bay property owners association has a boat ramp, a boat dock, and a lake swimming area for members. Lake access and the swimming area top the list of favorites here.
For a bigger day out, Purtis Creek State Park is about 21 minutes north near Eustace. Texas Parks and Wildlife calls its 355-acre lake a bass fishing destination. Largemouth bass are catch-and-release only. Catfish and crappie are there too.
Closer in, Malakoff City Park and Jake's Skatepark are favorites, both on North Terry Street in town.
Here are some favorite local spots.
Coffee and brunch start at Antoinnette's Coffee House on South Terry Street in Malakoff. People come for the specialty lattes, the big homemade cinnamon rolls, and the chicken salad. It's open Tuesday through Saturday mornings.
The Roost in Eustace, about 14 minutes north, is their other brunch pick. Fried green tomatoes, catfish, and a busy dining room.
For dinner in town, Casa Blanca Mexican on West Royall Boulevard does ribeye tacos and a Texas burrito. The Dock on TX-198 does seafood, steaks, and shrimp and grits.
For date night, they point to Elements by 456 in Gun Barrel City, about 15 minutes away, with a shaded patio, string lights, and live music.
Saturday mornings, the Athens Farmers Market sets up on Tyler Street in downtown Athens, near Athens Brewing Co, a local brewery favorite.
Brookshire's on West Royall covers the weekly grocery run.
Malakoff got its name from postal officials, after a Russian fort from the Crimean War, according to the Texas State Historical Association. The post office opened in 1885. Lignite was found in 1912, and by the 1920s the mines were the county's biggest industry. The town voted to incorporate in July 1948.
Fall brings the big one. The Malakoff Cornbread Festival held its 29th year on October 3, 2026, at the Malakoff Community Center on North Terry Street. Crafts, vendors, home-baked food, and food trucks. In December, Winterfest and the Christmas parade take over Terry Street. The 2026 parade is set for Saturday, December 12.
The home sits outside Malakoff city limits, per the county tax record.
Friday nights in the fall belong to the Malakoff Tigers. They play in black and gold at Tiger Stadium on FM 3062, about 8 minutes from the house.
The Cornbread Festival in October and the December parade fill out the calendar in town. For the big leagues, the Dallas pro teams are a little over an hour up US-175.
