Property Description

A symbol of an era, a setting for the future — Dallas’ most legendary estate is ready for its next chapter. Since 1938, the prestigious Crespi Estate has hosted presidents, dignitaries and icons like Coco Chanel and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. Designed by Swiss architect Maurice Fatio for Italian count Pio Crespi, this palatial French-style chateau blends intimacy with grandeur across more than 27,000 square feet. With 10 bedrooms, 12.5 baths, a ballroom, an Art Deco bar, two wine cellars, a conservatory, a library imported from France, a media room and a 3,000-square-foot primary suite, luxury is everywhere. Enhancements by noted architect Peter Marino include an elegant 3,300-plus-square-foot guesthouse and a remarkable 4,800-plus-square-foot entertainment pavilion with a 19-seat theatre. The three adjacent lots are included in the listing, making a total of 15.687 acres. The grounds feature a swimming pool and spa, tennis and bocce ball courts, gardens, greenhouses, a creek and a heliport. A rare opportunity to own a Dallas masterpiece.
