Perfect for daily living or a weekend

equestrian community offering the best of Texas living and Texas
golf in the pristine North Texas countryside.
Spacious one-third to one acre homesites
surrounding a Fred Couples’ Signature Golf Course along with an
eight-acre family recreation complex and a 17-acre equestrian
complex make this an ideal community for families or retirees.
Rarely does this much Texas land come
with so much lifestyle.

The swimming complex is one of many amenities.
Home of the MM Ranch
Optimally situated just an hour north of Dallas, The Bridges
at Preston Crossings is located in Gunter, Texas’ legendary MM
Ranch. The 1,580-acre former horse ranch continues to offer the
spacious, pastoral beauty that made it famous.
Named one of the areas “Best Small Towns to
Live In” by D Magazine, MM Ranch has played host to
United States presidents, polo ponies and the prestigious Cattle
Baron’s Ball. Today, The Bridges is home to beautiful homesites
near renowned fishing, boating and recreational sites, including
Lake Ray Roberts, Lake Texoma & Lake Lewisville. The Bridges at
Preston Crossings offers country living close to city
conveniences.

The equestrian center is set on 17 acres.
The Bridges recently unveiled its
first-class Equestrian Center, a 17-acre complex offering
boarding, lessons, training and riding through acres of wooded,
groomed trails. The center also features boarding stables,
indoor and outdoor arenas, paddocks and acres of riding areas.
Horse-safe, steel sucker-rod fences enclose
the Bermuda grass pastures and three barns offer a total of 36
interior stalls. The main barn, called the Double M, has a
lounge and adjacent deck overlooking the lake and former polo
field. A covered and lighted indoor arena is available for
warm-ups, English and Western riding lessons, and outside events
such as ropings, cuttings and shows.
The Bridges Golf Club
The Bridges caters to golfers and non-golfers with
its spectacular, 18-hole Jeffrey Brauer Design/Fred Couples
Signature Golf Course which winds throughout the community and
comes complete with a 6,000-sf clubhouse, bar and grill. Future
community amenities include a planned Amenities Complex with
swimming pool, tennis courts, fitness area, private parks and
miles of walking and riding trails.

The course offers lots of scenery.
The course is a prairie-style layout that
is attractively highlighted by tall native grasses and
wildflowers. It has a modern length of about 7,600 yards from
the championship tees and features many old-style design
characteristics, such as square cornered tees and smaller
steep-banked grass bunkers, along with modern touches such as
fairway chipping areas.
Big-Lake Lifestyle
Lovers of the big-lake lifestyle will like The Bridges’
close proximity to Lake Ray Roberts (10 miles) and Lake Texoma
(30 miles). Perfect for boating and fishing, these top Texas
lakes offer a generous range of recreational activities.
The Bridges at Preston Crossing is also ideally located in the
Gunter ISD, which is one of the few districts in the area to
receive an exemplary rating from the Texas Education Agency, the
highest performance rating the agency awards.

The views are as captivating as the course is challenging.
