A Mediterranean mansion in Highland Park<\/a> was purchased by the grandson of an oil magnate and his wife.<\/p>\n

William Paul Getty \u2014 the grandson of oil billionaire J. Paul Getty<\/a> \u2014 and his wife, Vanessa Getty, a philanthropist and socialite, purchased the Highland Park property in June, according to Dallas County documents.<\/p>\n

The Highland Park home at 3515 Crescent Ave. was last listed for nearly $20 million and was one of Dallas-Fort Worth\u2019s most expensive listings still on the market at the end of 2025.<\/p>\n

The Gettys bought the home through a trust. Although sale price was not disclosed, the\u00a0Gettys took out a loan of $11.5 million, according to county documents.\u00a0<\/p>\n

William Paul\u00a0Getty\u2019s grandfather, J. Paul Getty owned a controlling interest in Getty Oil Co. and was considered the richest man in the world at the time of his death.\u00a0<\/p>\n

J. Paul Getty founded the J. Paul Getty Trust, which operates the Getty<\/a>, a museum complex in Los Angeles. The\u00a0Getty name is also present in Getty Images, which was co-founded by Mark Getty, one of J. Paul Getty\u2019s grandsons.<\/p>\n

The Real Deal first reported the home had been purchased by the Gettys.<\/p>\n

The mansion sits at the end of a stone pathway on a roughly half-acre lot in Highland Park.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Visitors will first see an arched entry and curved staircase as they enter the home. Built in 2009, the approximately 11,400-square-foot home has seven bedrooms, nine full bathrooms and one half bathroom.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The mansion has an owner\u2019s suite with a spacious sitting area, a midnight kitchen and a spa-like bath. Outside, the property includes a pool, a cascading water feature and a fire pit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The home also has a chef\u2019s kitchen that connects to a wine cellar and bar, a media theater and a five-car garage, according to Architecturally Significant Homes. The home is within the Highland Park Independent School District.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It was first listed for $21 million in November 2025, according to Zillow. The listing was removed in May when the home was priced at nearly $20 million.<\/p>\n

Jos\u00e9 Roberto Quiroz Mata and Rosa Mar\u00eda Mata Torrallardona signed as sellers of the home. Both are board members for Grupo Bimbo, a food company that owns brands like Takis and Little Bites.<\/p>\n

Pogir Pogir of Briggs Freeman Sotheby\u2019s International Realty represented the seller and declined to comment. Meanwhile, Douglas Newby of Douglas Newby & Associates represented the buyer, according to Architecturally Significant Homes. Newby didn\u2019t immediately respond to a request for comment. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The home was valued at $12 million by the Dallas Central Appraisal District for tax purposes.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Mediterranean mansion in Highland Park was purchased by the grandson of an oil magnate and his wife.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":419308,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[102,104,103,90037],"class_list":["post-419307","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas","tag-dallas","tag-dallas-headlines","tag-dallas-news","tag-tp-residential-real-estate"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/419307","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=419307"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/419307\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/419308"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=419307"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=419307"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=419307"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
