This French Chateau-Style Estate is the Most Expensive Listing in Texas
Known as the Crespi Estate, the timeless residence was built in 1938 for the Italian Count Pop Crespi, who moved to Dallas to oversee his family’s cotton empire and required an elegant estate to entertain celebrities and dignitaries.
The main 27,000 sq ft mansion is accompanied by a 3000 sq ft guest house and a recreational complete, set on 15 acres of landscaped grounds featuring a country club-sized pool, tennis courts, a lighted heliport, and more.
Renovated in the late 1990s, the main limestone mansion exudes grandeur with soaring 14-foot ceilings on both the first and second floors and a 3000 sq ft master suite with a private terrace overlooking the grounds.
The timeless residence features beautiful period details such as Venetian plaster walls, antique wooden floors, and a library with early 19th century panelling imported from France.
The 10-bedroom mansion boasts a gourmet kitchen along with state-of-the-art amenities like a cryotherapy room, a sensory deprivation tank, a fully equipped gym, and a swanky screening room, as well as a safe room, and multiple wine cellars, all accessible by elevator.
The 15-acre estate is set in the affluent enclave of Preston Hollow, just a few minutes from downtown Dallas, Texas.
Everything truly is bigger in Texas, and when it comes to luxury real estate, the Crespi Estate in Dallas sets a new standard.
