Seated in the exclusive gated and guarded Kings Gate community in Plano, Texas, with a private lake, jogging trails and outstanding schools, this majestic over 14,000-square-foot estate on over 2.2 acres features the best of both worlds. Just minutes from the hub of downtown Dallas yet offering ideal privacy, this secluded, heavily treed, palatial gem is truly a royal retreat from the city.

From the vast lawns and gardens to its bountiful amenities — five bedrooms; five full and one half bathrooms; 4-car garage; exercise room; media room; elevator; two game rooms; wine cellar with custom jarrah wood; library/study; and professional-grade, chef’s dream kitchen, this grand home was tailor-made.

Meticulous attention has been shown to every detail in this palatial, custom-designed estate. Interior amenities include a twisting iron and marble staircase; hand-crafted wine racks; custom-designed iron chandeliers; marble, slate, wood and carpeted flooring; ornate vaulted ceilings; marble columns; Santos mahogany throughout; smart home systems and stately views.

This secluded, suburban sanctuary is only 22 miles to downtown Dallas, or DFW Airport, but it feels like a private paradise. Located in Collin County, Plano is part of the Dallas-Fort Worth region known collectively as “the Metroplex” and boasts schools that score among the highest in the nation, a host of private country clubs and golf courses.
