7 Bedroom Accessories to Help You Sleep Better<\/a><\/p>\nFitted with towers, stone and wooden arches, columns, ornate ceilings, lancet windows and character-laden interiors, the property was built in 2006 for energy tycoon Bob Simpson, the co-owner and co-chairman of the MLB\u2019s Texas Rangers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt appears the property was intentionally designed to resemble a European castle,\u201d said listing agent Ida Duwe-Olsen of the Duwe-Olsen Real Estate Group at Compass.<\/p>\n

Its uniqueness \u201ccan absolutely impact the selling process\u2014but not necessarily in a negative way,\u201d Duwe-Olsen said. \u201cThe target market is the ultra-high-net-worth buyer seeking a statement property. This property is an estate\u2014a legacy, a compound for a sophisticated buyer. A billionaire\u2019s home.\u201d<\/p>\n
Simpson sold the stately home in 2021 to the current owner, listing records show.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since Texas is a non-disclosure state, the purchase price is not publicly available, but at the time, the house had been on the market for $5.5 million. The owner couldn\u2019t be reached for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Along with its decidedly distinctive look, the seven-bedroom home also has 18 bathrooms, indoor and outdoor pools, a professional-grade sports court, a climate-controlled wine room, a theater, a gym, a dedicated guest residence and a primary suite with a dedicated elevator to access a private office above, according to the listing.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe biggest selling points are not just the incredible features,\u201d Duwe-Olsen said, \u201cbut how rare they are to find, particularly in Fort Worth.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A sprawling castle-like mansion in Fort Worth, Texas, is on the market for $7.5 million.\u00a0 The more than…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":209238,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[15599,15594,15619,15614,1816,15605,8376,15601,15621,15602,15622,8377,116,118,117,19789,490,15588,15608,463,489,468,2447,28454,28458,111,15604,15603,15606,465,154,15589,15609,473,27,464,15623],"class_list":["post-209237","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-worth","tag-amenity-amenities-home-theater","tag-amenity-amenities-pool","tag-amenity_amenities-home-theater","tag-amenity_amenities-pool","tag-baseball","tag-ce-exclusion-filter","tag-content-types","tag-content-type-content-type-article","tag-content-type_content-type-article","tag-credited-by-mansion-global","tag-credited_by_mansion_global","tag-factiva-filters","tag-fort-worth","tag-fort-worth-headlines","tag-fort-worth-news","tag-gcapi","tag-general-news","tag-location-market-texas","tag-location_market-texas","tag-north-america","tag-political","tag-political-general-news","tag-property","tag-property-type-property-type-castle","tag-property-type_property-type-castle","tag-real-estate","tag-real-estate-listings","tag-real-estate-property","tag-routine-general-news","tag-southern-u-s","tag-sports","tag-subject-subject-new-listings","tag-subject_subject-new-listings","tag-synd","tag-texas","tag-united-states","tag-wsj-pro-mansion-global"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209237","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=209237"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209237\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/209238"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=209237"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=209237"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=209237"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
