The Dallas Central Appraisal District values the estate at $25 million even. In total, the behemoth home and surrounding grounds include 26,260 sq. feet! That is roughly half the size of an average Wal-Mart store! Built in 1992, the estate formerly belonged to software guru Larry Lacerte. Some of the amenities included in this theme park estate are:
-a tennis court
-a racquetball court
-exercise room with locker rooms
-natatorium encompassed Olympic swimming pool
-private lake
-pond with $1 mil worth of fish
-baseball diamond
-gazebo
-greenhouse
-bowling alley
-tasting room
-conservatory
-large playground
-6 bedrooms
-10 baths
-10 fireplaces
-large outdoor gathering area attached to porch
-large doghouse
-parking area on west side of estate
-basement
Wowsa. I think it's a first - an estate with its own baseball field. Brilliant.
It is also reported that the Lacerte's used their amenity-affluent home to host charity events and parties. They entertained former Presidents and Senators - even Prince Edward.
