It’s not every day or every decade an estate of this caliber comes onto the market. Spanning almost nine acres, the masterful property at 1730 J T Ottinger Road was created by the current owners over many years with meticulous attention to detail. Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful estates in North Texas, this Westlake estate is now waiting for you to cherish it next.
A feeling of awe sets in as soon as you arrive here. After entering through the dramatic gates, wind your way down the driveway passing the picturesque lake brimming with wildlife. The majestic main house then comes into view, designed by award-winning architect Richard Drummond Davis. It’s clear from the first peek that this is a true masterpiece.
When guests come over, whether for a holiday brunch or a black-tie event, a valet can take their keys at the porte-cochere and park in the expansive motor court. As everyone breezes inside, the splendor of the foyer’s soaring staircase will set the tone for all the magnificence ahead. Every room holds timeless architectural details and views of the exquisite Texas countryside.
Friends can mingle in the formal French-style living room, sip cocktails in the sunroom, or explore down long hallways to find the inviting family room. All the while, delicious scents will waft from the gourmet kitchen as the chef’s pastry station and top-of-the-line appliances cook up delightful delicacies.
This stunning main floor also holds the first guest suite, a wood-paneled office, a formal dining room, a breakfast room, and more. The better question is, what doesn’t it have?
With so much at your fingertips, the home is as captivating in quiet everyday moments as it is when you’re throwing superb parties. All four of the upstairs bedrooms boast private balconies that frame views of rolling meadows. As you gaze at vibrant sunsets each evening before bed, it may feel like someone could start serenading you from the gardens below at any moment.
But, perhaps that’s better left to the movies. Luckily, you can watch epic scenes like this in your plush media room on the lower level. The elevator can bring you there in an instant, a handy perk in this 12,316-square-foot home.
When you’re seeking relaxation in nature, the expansive patios will call your name. As you sip coffee or dine al fresco, you can look out at your glistening pool and guesthouse just a short stroll away. Tucked down a beautiful path, this oasis is ready to host visitors in style with a bedroom, bathroom, loft, living room, and kitchen. However, it is also poised for luxurious and legendary entertaining. Make refreshing drinks or grill out with friends in the outdoor kitchen while the kids play kickball on the lawn, splash in the pool, or soak in the Jacuzzi.
Every element is pristine at this estate, and the lifestyle it affords is unparalleled. The chance to be part of such a property’s legacy is rare indeed, and you can even purchase more acreage from the seller if you wish.
