appliances, La Cornue range), glass elevator
to the lower level, media room, safe room,
gym (with cryo, massage and steam rooms),
a sensory-deprivation float tank, two wine
rooms and a 3,000-square-foot primary
suite with a sumptuous bedroom, two
baths, two dressing areas and an expansive
outdoor terrace.

THE ENHANCEMENTS | Over
recent decades, the main home has been
immaculately restored and brilliantly
expanded, most notably by New York
architect Peter Marino, who has designed
significant projects for Chanel, Armani and
Louis Vuitton. More than $100 million was
spent on one phase alone, lasting nearly 10
years. Every system is state-of-the art; every
modern convenience is at hand.

THE GROUNDS | The estate is 15.68 acres
in all, including three platted lots on its
north side, at 1.22, 1.22 and 1.3 acres each.
Three structures dot the property: the
main home (27,092 sf); a guesthouse (3,347
sf); and a pool pavilion (4,836 sf). Outdoor
amenities include a pool, spa, tennis court,
bocce-ball court, several greenhouses, a
treehouse, rose and vegetable gardens,
formal gardens, a creek (with waterfalls
and bridges), walking trails, a gated entry, a
seven-car garage and a lighted helipad.

THE ACCLAIM | Scholars and architects
— even modernist ones — have been awed
after visiting the house. Just some of the
reaction: “This is the most important home
of its era built anywhere in the country” —
art historian, museum director and professor
Richard Brettell. “One would have to go
to 17th-century Belgium or 18th-century
France to find comparable craftsmanship.”
—Texas architect Bill Booziotis. “[The home
has] the grace and dignity of a beautiful
lady.” —Texas architect Frank Welch.
