his exquisite property was constructed under the skillful team of Cole Smith, Architect-Smith/Ekblad & Associates, Sherry Hayslip-Smith, Hayslip Design Associates and Cole Smith, Jr., Crowbar Contractors. The project, more than two and one-half years in the making, culminated into a masterpiece, circa 1993. Situated on more than eight acres in the fairway of one of Dallas’ most prominent neighborhoods, the main residence consists of seven bedroom suites, an elegant great room, a banquet-sized dining room, a warm and inviting family room, a two-story library with study loft, a gourmet’s kitchen with adjoining breakfast room and two guest quarters. There are nine woodburning fireplaces, six of which were designed by local craftsmen. With respect to recreation, the property features a racquetball court, exercise room and locker rooms and a near Olympic-sized natatorium. A bowling alley adjoins a pub room, the nearby wine cellar and tasting room. On site, the estate includes a beautiful conservatory overlooking four interlocking Koi ponds, a tennis court and its adjacent gazebo, a baseball diamond and a private lake with resplendent fountain. Nine air-conditioned garage bays provide parking and shelter. The workmanship, engineering accomplishment and exceptional materials used in this fine residence are virtually unparalleled, making it one of the most important Dallas homes of the latter 20th century.
