Texas may be home to countless kingdoms under the big Texas sky, but not all of them can say they’ve housed literal royalty. Well, an estate that has more in common with The Great Gatsby and The Sound of Music than the Lone Star State has now hit the market and stands tall as the most expensive home for sale in Texas.
The Crespi Estate in Dallas was built in 1938 and has stood the test of time as a symbol of luxury in North Texas for almost 90 years. Now the luxurious property is looking for its next owner, hitting the market at $64 million from Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty.

“Luxury is everywhere,” the listing reads, which doesn’t really do the property justice. If you ever wanted to feel like Mia Thermopolis from The Princess Diaries, this is the chance. Need more proof? Past guests of the Crespi Estate have included presidents and dignitaries, as well as icons like Coco Chanel and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor (Edward and Wallis). So, yes, it’s a Texas home fit for royalty.
Designed by Swiss architect Maurice Fatio for Italian count Pio Crespi, the estate captures that elegance and scale of European royalty. Covering more than 27,000 square feet, the Crespi Estate houses 10 bedrooms, 12.5 baths, a ballroom – see, like The Sound of Music – an Art Deco bar, two wine cellars, a conservatory, a library which the listing says was imported from France, a media room and primary suite
