Welcome to a truly extraordinary estate where privacy, craftsmanship, and passion come together on 10 wooded acres just minutes from the heart of McKinney.

Foam insulation contributes to the home's energy efficiency, while multiple walk-in attics provide an exceptional amount of easily accessible storage. Home features a cinema-quality media room along with a spectacular indoor-outdoor pool.

Use the garage for an indoor tennis court, archery range, or whatever you can dream up. Mature trees provide exceptional privacy, while an open pasture and separate four-stall barn offer space for horses and other animals. The property also currently benefits from an agricultural valuation associated with hay production. Few estates combine 10 private acres, custom architecture, pier construction, year-round swimming, equestrian facilities, and extraordinary collector-car storage while remaining this close to Downtown McKinney and Dallas.
