Looking for space and solitude? This is exactly what we are boasting about with this private 5-acre estate, located 20 minutes from Dallas: a world apart, but close to all services.

Built in 2000, this property whose architecture is said to be inspired by the work of Frank Lloyd Wright exudes excess. The bedrooms are spacious, the kitchen is huge and the living room even bigger. And from each room, we are entitled to a panoramic view to impress the gallery. The master bedroom alone has a 16′ wide bay window. In the evening, you can see the illuminated downtown Fort Worth and the “skyline” of Dallas. The observation deck offers the spectacle of the twinkling lights of five cities at night, with a 360-degree view.

And what about the garage, big enough to fit a 45 ft coach? There is even a climbing wall and a half tennis court marked out on the ground.

We even thought of making sure that the lighting does not reflect in the windows at night! Oh yes, and among the host of small innovations sprinkled throughout the house, we also took the time to install an ultra-efficient geothermal heating and air conditioning system.
