- Open-water views of Cedar Creek Lake, right across the street.
Step outside and the open water of Cedar Creek Lake is right across the street. That's the first reason to see 298 Autumn Wood Trail. The second is how the lake shows up inside. Big windows put the water in view from the living room and the primary suite. The third is the build. This is a brand-new 2026 custom home with 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and 1,764 square feet. Lueder stone and James Hardie board-and-batten outside. A floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, white oak cabinets, quartz, and a full-height marble backsplash inside. A walk-in pantry big enough to earn the name "Costco closet." An insulated two-car garage with a coated floor built for boats and lake gear. Tom Finley Park's public boat ramp is about 7 minutes away. Walmart and Main Street in Gun Barrel City are about 9.

About the Home and Area
298 Autumn Wood Trail is a brand-new custom home, built in 2026 in Mantle Manors on the Henderson County side of Cedar Creek Lake. It sits across the street from the lake with open-water views. You can see the water from the living room and from the primary suite.
Outside, it's Lueder chop stone and James Hardie board-and-batten, an architectural shingle roof with a ridge vent, and a covered front porch with decorative columns. The covered back patio looks over a fully fenced backyard. There are even outlets up high for Christmas lights.
Inside, 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths spread across 1,764 square feet. Luxury vinyl plank runs throughout, with wide baseboards and a floor-to-ceiling Lueder stone fireplace.
Cedar Creek Lake covers 32,873 acres, according to the Tarrant Regional Water District, which owns it. Most of the shoreline is private, so public access matters. Tom Finley Park, a TRWD day-use park, is about 7 minutes away. It has an ADA boat ramp, a swimming area, picnic spots, and fishing.
The listing notes a community boat ramp and park a short walk from the home.
The garage is ready for lake life. It's fully insulated, with a commercial-grade polyaspartic floor coating that stands up to boats, jet skis, and marine gear.
Want a boat for the day? Causeway Marina on Cedar Creek Parkway rents pontoons and sells bait.
Barbecue is covered. Slap N Good BBQ Too on West Main in Gun Barrel City is known for chopped brisket and sides like mac and cheese and twice-baked potatoes. B4 Barbeque & Boba in Mabank draws a line before it opens. People come for the Texas Twinkie and the sampler platter.
For something sweet, Sugar Rush GBC on Old Gun Barrel Lane does ice cream, shakes, cookies, and candy.
Coffee is a short drive to Mabank. Branded Bean Coffee Co is a small-town shop on West Mason Street. Velvet Grind is tucked inside an antique store on South 3rd Street, so you can browse while you wait.
Walmart Supercenter in Gun Barrel City is about 9 minutes away for the weekly run.
Pier 334 is under construction at Highway 334 and Big Chief Drive in Gun Barrel City, about 5 minutes from the home. It's a public-private project with the Gun Barrel City Economic Development Corporation. Plans call for a 62-room Hilton Tapestry hotel, a marina, restaurants, an amphitheater, and public park space with splash pads. It broke ground in October 2024. There's no confirmed public opening date yet.

The kitchen is built around a large quartz island. White oak slim-shaker cabinets with soft-close doors and drawers. A full-height marble backsplash. A custom vent hood over a convection range with warming, simmer, and bridge burners. A built-in under-counter microwave.
Then there's the pantry. It's a full walk-in, the kind people call a "Costco closet," with room for the bulk run and then some.
The floor plan is split. The primary suite sits on its own side with room for a king bed, big windows facing the lake, a deep soaking tub, and a zero-entry walk-in shower with glass. A Jack-and-Jill bath serves two secondary bedrooms. The fourth bedroom works as a guest room, office, or hobby room. A drop zone with a charging station sits by the entry.
Gun Barrel City sits at the center of Cedar Creek Lake. It incorporated on May 26, 1969, soon after the lake was built, and it's known for its motto: "We Shoot Straight With You." The 2020 Census counted 6,190 people.
The home is in Mantle Manors and outside Gun Barrel City limits, per the county tax record.
Summer is big here. The city throws JulyFest with live music, food, local vendors, and fireworks on the shores of the lake. The Thunder Over Cedar Creek Lake Airshow runs on the Fourth of July and hit its 21st year in 2026. In October, there's Haunt Fest.
