Behind a gated entrance and a long, private drive, this extraordinary 2.4-acre estate offers one of Dallas’ most secluded and captivating settings. Designed by renowned SHM Architects and masterfully built by Rosewood Custom Homes, the 9,420-square-foot residence is a timeless composition of stone and stucco, expansive windows, and crowned by a distinguished slate roof.
Thoughtfully crafted for elevated everyday living and memorable entertaining, the residence offers five-bedroom suites, five full baths, two powder baths, an executive study, a private fitness room, and an underground wine cellar with an intimate tasting room. A light-filled studio overlooking the backyard provides exceptional flexibility as an artist’s retreat, playroom, hobby space, or creative workspace.
The resort-inspired heavily landscaped grounds are equally impressive, with a sparkling oversized pool, outdoor pavilion, multiple stone elevations, pathways, and two separate grilling stations. Uniquely, the estate enjoys expansive lawns both in front of and behind the residence, creating an uncommon sense of space while preserving exceptional security and privacy. Dramatic landscape and architectural lighting transform the estate after sunset, illuminating mature trees, stone elements, and the grounds in a captivating evening display. A four-car garage completes the property.
Rich in architectural pedigree and enduring craftsmanship, this remarkable estate presents a rare opportunity for a new owner.
