A gated entry and stately drive welcome you to this sprawling one-of-a-kind custom and unparalleled Estate, which won the 2015 ARC awards for Best New Home, Best Kitchen, and Best Curb Appeal. The design and craftsmanship are the work of Alford Custom Homes, and John Lively and Associates, both highly respected within the high-profile home industry; they are among Dallas’ most distinguished home builders and architects.

The property is covered with serene landscaping and mature trees providing ultimate privacy like no other. The home is finished primarily in a French-country style with selections made for timeless quality. All trim, moldings, arched doorways, and casings are made from solid

hardwood that was custom designed for each room and hand crafted on site.

The main level provides over 6,500 square feet of living and was purposefully constructed to provide an expansive feel with intimate settings. The home features all major amenities on one level and is uniquely designed to entertain on a grand scale, while maintaining a comfortable feel throughout. The heart of the home has an open concept with 32-foot volume ceilings, while the library, office, game room and state of the art theater are perfectly placed throughout the main level for privacy and separation. The architectural details and design extend beyond the walls of your home to an outdoor oasis that truly has everything you’ve been waiting for.

This home is an award-winning masterpiece.

Wide framed double iron doors, with horsehair glass, open to a grand foyer with spectacular views that extend through your great room to the acreage beyond. The beautiful, curved staircase and banister follow the soaring two story entryway and set the tone as you enter this extraordinary home.

The spacious laundry room provides an abundance of cabinetry, sink, and space for a full sized refrigerator. Outside, the motor court allows entry through 6 garages with room for 7 vehicles and extensive shop space, custom cabinetry, and storage by Garage Living.

The graceful hallway ends at your game room with plenty of space for billiards, shuffleboard, darts, and a full wall of windows with pleasing views of the rear grounds. A powder bath is accessible from the game room and doubles as a pool bath with a separate changing room, built-in cabinetry, towel hooks and exterior access.

An impressive custom-built arched entry leads to the state-of-the-art theater. This Cinematech designed, Crown A/V installed, tuned, and maintained home cinema is truly one of a kind and is labeled the crown jewel of this unique home. The entire cinema is detached from the remainder of the home’s framing, and sound is further isolated by the hanging speakers on cables hidden behind walls to prevent slab transmission. The audio in this theater is reference quality, with 3M designed acoustic treatment, McIntosh-driven Snell Music and Cinema Reference 7.2 THX audio system, as used in George Lucas’ studios. This is the ultimate entertaining space for movies, sports, gaming, or TV room that is unlike any other.

The fifth bedroom displays a wall of built-ins while three south facing windows let in an abundance of natural light creating a cheerful environment. An adjoining powder bath could be reconfigured to create a third ensuite bedroom upstairs if desired.

Set on over 4 acres, this exquisite estate is fully fenced and gated with both a main gate and a separate utility gate utilized by maintenance crews. The main gate enters to a 200-foot drive with a 50-foot circle and large motor court. The convenient maintenance gate includes a 75x12 foot drive of decomposed granite with a commercial grid installed for parking maintenance vehicles.

Designed and installed by Harold Leidner, the landscaping creates a lush entertainment and recreation dream.   Beautiful mature trees, countless ornamentals and extensive hardscape surround the property providing serenity and ultimate privacy.

Commercial irrigation is installed throughout the grounds and individual sump pumps assist transplanted trees providing water management to ensure continuous growth. The grounds illuminate at night with down and up-lit lighting creating a pleasing glow throughout the entire property.

Luxurious resort style living extends beyond the walls of the home to a breathtaking outdoor oasis that you’ll enjoy year-round. The primary outdoor great room is built for entertaining with full audio and video, multiple seating areas, volume ceilings and Phantom screens that fully enclose this inset space away from the wind and elements.  Hosting is easy with the perfect flow to a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with a wood burning pizza oven, green egg, 5 burner gas grill, 3 Hoshizaki refrigerators, prep sink, and large island for dining.

A tranquil setting awaits as you step out to 3,000 square feet of elegant travertine decking that fully surrounds the luxurious pool with water features, tanning ledge, and over-sized spa. The wood burning fire pit adds to the spa’s ambiance and creates an additional gathering spot for entertaining opposite the kitchen.

Beyond the pool is a 25x25 foot stone cabana that was built to match the aesthetics of the main residence. This extravagant second outdoor living space features full audio and video and was designed to allow a nice cross breeze to enter while staying comfortable under the attached ceiling heaters and your third Isokern wood burning fireplace.

Preston Moon of Envyscapes designed and installed the incredible 100-yard artificial turf golf facility.  Preston Moon is known for his work with his father building Arnold Palmer golf courses around the country. The facility features a 3,000 square foot pitching/putting green with 6 pin positions and 9 tee boxes ranging from 10 to 105 yards, allowing you to create a shot from every course position imaginable. The 9th tee box doubles as a driving range with net-return.

There are 3 artificial green side bunkers of varying depths and one real sand bunker across a dry creek bed.  Over 500 azaleas line the back of the golf green to complete this golfer’s paradise.

A 1,550-foot Barco drilled water well was completed in 2016 and is positioned at the top of a man-made dry creek bed as part of the comprehensive landscape plan and design. Two bridges are in place across the creek bed, one designed for golf cart use and the other for pedestrian crossing to the golf green.  Drive around the decomposed granite cart path as it wraps around the full rear of the property and park your golf cart in its designated space under the porte-cochere.

A gardener will love the fully enclosed garden where you can grow anything your heart desires. Take the golf cart or walk the beautiful path to the left corner of the property to pick your vegetables and gather fresh eggs from the chicken coop.  There are five separate 25 x 3 foot raised cedar beds with irrigation, laid among a tranquil setting.
