Why they chose this property

We love Rockwall and Chandlers Landing and decided this is where we would build our dreamhouse in 1994. My husband Sandy Petersen is a world-renowned game designer and we built this home to accommodate us, our five children, and lots of collections--books, boardgames, role-playing games, movies, and miniature figures.

What makes this property unique

Our home is unique because it was designed by a contemporary architect. We lived there for 30 years where we made many happy memories.
