This $64 million Dallas estate is basically a private French village
If you have a spare $64 million lying around, you could buy this massive 1930s estate in Dallas. It sits on over 15 acres right in the middle of the city, which is just wild.
The approach
You drive up to these giant wrought iron gates that look like they belong to a European palace.
Once you get past the gates, the sheer size of the place hits you.
The limestone facade lights up at night, making the whole property look like a set from a historical movie.
The front yard is so big you could easily host a full football game on the lawn.
Close up, you can see the classic architecture that makes this place feel so permanent.
The grounds
From above, you realize the main house is just one part of the equation.
The pool is massive, complete with a diving board and plenty of space for lounging.
Around the back, the house has a completely different, slightly more private feel.
There are stone patios wrapping around the curved wings of the building.
A literal creek runs right through the property, which is incredibly rare for Dallas.
The water winds along the edge of the manicured lawns.
They built stone pathways so you can walk along the water without getting muddy.
There is even an old stone bridge crossing the water.
And of course, there are classic fountains scattered around the gardens.
Coming inside
You walk through the front door and find yourself in a checkerboard marble hallway that goes on forever.
The main foyer has a curved staircase with detailed ironwork and a giant crystal chandelier.
The dining and living spaces
The formal dining room is massive, with wood floors and enough space to seat a small army.
If you want something a bit smaller, there is a second dining area nearby.
Then you get to this sunroom area that has floor-to-ceiling steel windows looking out at the trees.
It has a round table right under a massive brass light fixture.
There is also a formal ballroom on the main level with incredible parquet floors.
Even the hallways are impressive, featuring detailed scenic wallpaper murals on both sides.
The kitchen
The kitchen features giant black steel windows that look out onto the backyard.
It actually has two massive islands running parallel to each other, which makes so much sense for prep work.
Hangout spots and secret bars
This place has multiple bars, starting with this Western-themed setup complete with cowhide stools.
Right next to it is a library wrapped in warm wood with a stone fireplace.
There are little seating nooks in the library where you can hide away with a book.
If you want a completely different vibe, there is also a sleek Art Deco bar with mirrored walls.
Then there is the wine situation, starting with this massive wood-panel room just for bottle storage.
Downstairs, there is a separate tasting room with a heavy wooden table right in the middle.
Upstairs in the entertainment wing, you will find a pool table under a vaulted timber ceiling.
And yes, there is a private home theater with nineteen leather recliners.
Bedrooms and baths
The primary bedroom is basically its own apartment, with a fireplace and plenty of room for a seating area.
The closet is ridiculously huge, wrapped in dark wood built-ins and featuring its own stone fireplace.
The bathroom is covered in marble and features a classic freestanding tub.
The extra buildings and back trails
The pool house has classic arches that mirror the main home.
There is also a separate guest house on the property that is bigger than most regular homes.
The garage courtyard has room for plenty of cars, complete with a classic carriage house look.
Deep in the woods, you have actual dirt trails winding through the trees.
Finally, the estate features a formally manicured hedge maze that leads you back to the main lawns.
