The Most Expensive Home in Texas is Back on the Market
A Bucolic Oasis in the Heart of Dallas
Hear ye, hear ye, the most expensive home in Texas is back on the market — again. This mega-mansion, known as the Crespi estate, is fit for a king. After all, it was designed in the 1930s for an Italian count.
Despite its bucolic scenery, the sprawling estate sits just minutes from downtown Dallas. Its vaunted halls have hosted dignitaries and icons the likes of Coco Chanel and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. But even with these accolades, the 10-bed home — with 12 full bathrooms and five powder rooms — can’t seem to find a buyer.
A Grand Estate with Unmatched Luxury
The property spans 15.69 acres, with a 10,000-square-foot main residence that blends French chateau inspiration with Texas charm. The opulent home is filled with custom details from floor to ceiling, including an opulent staircase, ornate wallpaper, and a 19-seat theater.
The kitchen is equipped with plenty of counter space, and the property boasts a massive swimming pool and spa, tennis and bocce ball courts, a 19-seat theater, ample gardens, greenhouses, and a heliport.
A Unique Opportunity
The sellers have thrown in an additional three lots totaling 3.74 acres to the deal, bringing the property’s total area to nearly 16 acres. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Texas history, and the price has been adjusted to $64 million.
A Home Fit for Royalty
The listing dubs the limestone villa as “Dallas’ most legendary estate.” The home is dripping with custom details, from the French-style chandeliers to the Art Deco bar and two separate wine cellars. It’s the perfect setting for a Gatsby-style bash or a Bridgerton ball.
Luxury and Space to Spare
The home’s 10 bedrooms, 12 full bathrooms, and five powder rooms provide ample space for guests. The 3,000-square-foot primary suite is accompanied by a 3,300-square-foot guesthouse and a 4,800-square-foot entertainment pavilion.
A Unique Property with Endless Possibilities
The Crespi estate is currently owned by an influential oil industry family, and was previously owned by the Texas Rangers’ former owner Tom Hicks. It was designed by Swiss architect Maurice Fatio for the Italian count Pio Crespi, who was known for catering to the design needs of Palm Beach’s well-heeled.
