A rare opportunity to own a part of Texas History, this 1,600 acre Texas ranch, within 30 minutes from Downtown Dallas and features one of the great architectural masterpieces, a stone mansion with approximately 20,000 sq. ft. of museum quality construction.
This stone mansion was designed and built by one of the world’s top entrepreneurs for his own personal country home. A double gated entry offers the utmost in privacy and security. Upon entering the gated house compound, you drive past the heliport and lavishly landscaped gardens with incredible water features.
The landscape sets the stage for a grand house, believed to be the finest country home every conceived. At the entrance is a huge motor court with ample parking for entertaining. This 3 story English Stone Manor was built with all the elegance and grandeur of a bygone era, yet with all the modern conveniences for grand scale entertaining and family living. The grand entry gallery, with limestone flooring, is 2 stories high and features an upstairs balcony. The main level has the formal entertaining areas, with custom wood flooring, a huge master suite complete with his and her offices. Woods in his office were imported from England and were installed by English Craftsman from overseas. The Dining Room features antique paneling and the Kitchen features a Donald Asbee custom “French candy cooking hood”.
The fireplaces are limestone and the woods are White Oak. An elevator leads upstairs to the guest suites and downstairs to the formal entertaining areas with an incredible wine cellar, family room, and a summer kitchen. This level opens onto the limestone terrace. As Sir Henry James is said to have believed, there are no two more beautiful words in the English language than“summer afternoon”.
The gardens and lake offer the perfect setting for enjoying a summer afternoon. Here, a series of inviting outdoor venues extend the house into the landscape, designed to overlook the man-made lake, complete with sandy beach, dock and gazebo. A rich variety of architectural designs, with an open flowing floor plan with entertaining areas flowing into one another and out to the limestone porches. Indoors and outdoors, though distinct, were environmentally complementary. Huge enclosed terraces with an outdoor living area complete with fireplace.
Rarely does a home of this magnitude become available and no other properties offer the amenities of this ranch. A new state-of-the-art security system offers 24 hour surveillance. Highly improved pastures with high game fencing.
