The home hit the market — again — in February with an asking price of $64 million.

The new price tag covers the 12 acres upon which the mansion sits and an additional 3.7 acres to the north. The land backs up to the home of former President George W. Bush.
Designed by Swiss architect Maurice Fatio, the estate was built in 1938 for Count Pio Crespi, a wealthy Italian cotton baron who came to Texas to expand the family business.
The Preston Hollow mansion has hosted celebrities, presidents and dignitaries. It’s had no shortage of famous owners.
The home stayed in the Crespi family until 1997. Other previous occupants include former Dallas Stars and Texas Rangers owner Tom Hicks, banker Andrew Beal and then developer Mehrdad Moayedi. Since 2019, it has been owned by a trust affiliated with the Edwin Cox family.
The 27,000-square-foot limestone mansion has 10 bedrooms, 12 full bathrooms and five partial baths.
Dallas-based Pogir and Diane DuVall of Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty are handling the listing.

The Spanish revival and Mediterranean mansion at 4400 Belfort Ave. is the region’s second-most expensive home still on the market.
The 13,696-square-foot mansion is owned by developer Blair Pogue. Pogue, a Highland Park native and son of late Dallas real estate mogul Mack Pogue, tapped architect Larry Boerder to design a home that evoked Park Cities vibes of the 1920s.
The home sits on a 1-acre plot — a rarity in Highland Park, Douglas Newby, the real estate agent for the property, previously told The Dallas Morning News.
The main home features five bedrooms with a primary suite on the first floor as well as nine bathrooms.
10010 Strait Lane, Dallas: $24.99 million
This newly built estate on the border of Preston Hollow sits on 2.2 acres.
The California transitional mansion is nearly 16,700 square feet and features floor-to-ceiling windows. Other amenities at the property include a wellness retreat for massage and fitness, a lower-level wine vault, a golf simulator, a three-tier theater and a study with a fireplace.
The home is built with concrete walls and steel framing. A listing for the property says it will be ready by the end of the year.
6901 Hunters Glen Road, University Park: $24.5 million
Another new-construction home, this mansion sits on a nearly one-acre corner lot in the Volk Estates neighborhood in University Park.
The nearly 11,000-square-foot home has seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms. The mansion was designed by SHM Architects, with the interior by Erin Sander.
Amenities of note include an infinity edge pool, an exceptionally large rear lawn and an oversized four-car garage.

This new-construction home in Southlake is slated to be finished in 2026, according to its listing on Christie’s International Real Estate.
The more than 12,000-square-foot desert contemporary mansion sits on nearly nine acres. The six-bedroom, ten-bathroom property is just minutes from DFW International Airport.
Noteworthy features include a plunge pool off the primary balcony, a seven-car garage and a private casita.
The property is eligible for an agricultural exemption, offering long-term tax advantages.

The iconic home of art-collecting and philanthropic duo Howard and Cindy Rachofsky hit the open market earlier this year.
Built in 1996, 8605 Preston Road resembles a white minimalist structure on a coal-black pedestal. The more than 9,000-square-foot home has two bedrooms and six bathrooms. It sits on some 3.2 acres.
The home was the site of the Two x Two gala, a joint benefit for the Dallas Museum of Art and amfAR, the Foundation for AIDS Research. It put Dallas’ art scene on the map, and the guest list reads like a who’s who of Hollywood glitterati.
The home was designed by architect Richard Meier, whom Howard Rachofsky hired after seeing Meier’s High Museum of Art in Atlanta in the mid-1980s.
The home is, well — unique. There was no front stoop. The white panel front door was without a handle or knob. It was once home to the city’s only champagne vending machine, according to previous News reporting.

The owner’s suite includes a spacious sitting area, a midnight kitchen and a spalike bath with a soaking tub, dual vanities and custom closets. Outside, you’ll find the pool, a cascading water feature and a fire pit.
Each bedroom upstairs has an en suite bathroom. Other noteworthy features include a game room, separate guest quarters and champagne and wine cellars.

Known as Dallas’ Mount Vernon, the nearly $20 million estate overlooking White Rock Lake was once owned by the famed Hunt family.
The Georgian-style mansion is modeled after President George Washington’s Virginia estate.
Dallas’ Mount Vernon home was built in 1930 by Thomas Pickett. It wasn’t quite completed until legendary Dallas oil magnate H.L. Hunt purchased the property for $69,000 in 1938.
The family lived there for the next 60 years.
Current owner John Amend and family have had the property on and off the market since 2016. The family also tried to sell it back in 2011, according to previous News reporting.
The Amends are the second family to call the property home. It’s a special place for them. John and his wife, Teresa, ended their first date with a drive by the home.
The property sits on a 10-acre lot. The main home has 10,500 square feet with five bedrooms and six and a half bathrooms.
