The Most Expensive Homes for Sale in Dallas-Fort Worth Right Now

Dallas-Fort Worth has quietly become one of the most active ultra-luxury markets in the country. Corporate relocations keep landing here, no state income tax keeps the math simple, and you can buy acreage in DFW that would cost ten times as much in California.

BallerCribs is headquartered in DFW, and we feature these properties to an audience of 340,000+ across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Threads. We watch these homes list, relist, and trade in real time. This isn't a Zillow slideshow. We're giving you the neighborhood context, the agent intel, and the reasons these homes command the prices they do.

Prices and availability change constantly at this end of the market. Last refreshed: May 2026.

Why DFW has become a top-tier US luxury market

The DFW luxury boom didn't happen overnight, but the post-2020 migration poured gasoline on it.

The zero-state-income-tax effect is the closing argument for buyers leaving California and New York. When a high-net-worth household shifts tax residency to Texas, the savings often cover the carrying cost on a $15M estate.

Corporate HQ migration is doing the rest. Toyota's North American HQ, JPMorgan's Plano expansion, CBRE, and AT&T have all driven a wave of executive housing demand. These buyers expect a specific caliber of home, and DFW developers have built it.

Then there's the acreage trade. In Manhattan, $10M buys a townhouse. In Westlake, it buys a 10-acre estate with a guest house and a putting green. DFW is one of the only US ultra-luxury markets where you can land that kind of land within 30 minutes of a major international airport.

Top-tier schools do the rest of the work. Highland Park ISD and Southlake Carroll are price drivers in their own right, and families pay a heavy premium to be zoned in.

The DFW buyer profile is a mix: local old money in oil and legacy real estate, tech and finance transplants bringing coastal equity, and corporate executives setting up new roots. That mix is what explains how DFW fits into the national ultra-luxury picture.

The most expensive homes for sale in DFW right now

5619 Walnut Hill Lane — The Crespi Estate, Preston Hollow

Asking price: $64,000,000

Specs: 10 bedrooms, 12.5 bathrooms, 27,092 sq ft, 15.687 acres (three contiguous lots)

Standout features: Designed in 1938 by Swiss architect Maurice Fatio for Italian count Pio Crespi. The estate has hosted presidents, dignitaries, and figures like Coco Chanel and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. A 3,000-square-foot primary suite, a ballroom, an Art Deco bar, two wine cellars, a French-imported library with 1820s paneling, an 11-fireplace floor plan, a 19-seat theater pavilion, and a heliport. Later enhancements were designed by architect Peter Marino, including a 3,300-square-foot guest house and a 4,800-square-foot entertainment pavilion. Grounds include a pool, tennis and bocce courts, gardens, greenhouses, and a creek.

Neighborhood context: Preston Hollow is the historic stronghold of Dallas wealth. The estate's land borders the home of former President George W. Bush. Fifteen-plus contiguous acres this close to downtown Dallas effectively cannot be assembled today.

Listing history: Has bounced on and off the market across multiple price points — $60M in 2023, $47M in 2024 without the extra acreage, then back in early 2025 at $64M with three parcels reassembled. The current $64M asking puts it as the most expensive listing in the entire state of Texas.

Asking price: $34,500,000

Neighborhood context: A nearly one-acre Highland Park lot on the corner of Belfort Place and Armstrong Parkway is among the rarest trophies in the Park Cities. Highland Park has only 36 one-acre-or-larger lots total. New construction at this scale, on this lot, defines the top of the HP new-build market.

The nearly nine acres are eligible for an agricultural exemption — a meaningful long-term tax advantage at this price point.

Neighborhood context: Southlake is the peak of suburban family luxury in the country. Southlake Carroll schools and proximity to DFW International make it the executive hub for north Metroplex relocations.

8605 Preston Road — The Rachofsky House, Preston Hollow

Asking price: $23,000,000

Specs: 2 bedrooms, 2 full + 4 half bathrooms, 9,062 sq ft, 3.204 acres, designed in 1996 by Richard Meier for art collectors Howard and Cindy Rachofsky

Standout features: A genuine architectural landmark. Meier's signature white metal-paneled volume sits on a black granite podium, suspended above a sloping lawn that frames a lagoon-like pond. Floor-to-ceiling glass throughout, a soaring double-height living room, a suspended study, a black granite patio, a reflecting pool, and a private lake. Designed as both residence and gallery — the home was the venue for TWO x TWO for AIDS and Art for 25 years. Only 2 bedrooms because it was always conceived as a place to entertain rather than house a family.

Neighborhood context: Preston Hollow inventory at this price tier is almost always architecturally driven, not just square-footage driven. The Rachofsky House is the clearest example of that in DFW — one of Richard Meier's most important residential works, period.

1400 Shady Oaks Lane — The Tandy House, Westover Hills (Fort Worth)

Asking price: $22,000,000

Specs: 7 bedrooms, ~19,000 sq ft, 4 acres

Standout features: Widely considered the only completed private residence designed by I.M. Pei (Louvre Pyramid, JFK Presidential Library, Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center). Built in 1969 for cattle-and-oil heiress Anne Burnett Tandy and her husband Charles Tandy, founder of Tandy Corp / RadioShack. Three kitchens, three living rooms, two dining rooms, two climate-controlled wine cellars, and a dedicated art gallery. The pièce de résistance is a garden room with a sloping steel-and-glass ceiling. Pei once described the house as suitable for two people — or two or three hundred. The home stayed in the Tandy family for over five decades; presidents, Bob Hope, and pianist Van Cliburn all visited.

Neighborhood context: Westover Hills is to Fort Worth what Highland Park is to Dallas — an independent municipality of roughly 700 residents on hilly, heavily landscaped lots. The estate became the most expensive publicly listed home in Fort Worth the day it hit the market in April 2026.

DFW luxury neighborhoods, ranked

When you're looking at luxury inventory, absolute price is only half the story. Here's how the top neighborhoods stack up.

1. Highland Park / University Park. The highest price-per-square-foot in DFW. Defined by exclusivity, mature canopy, and zero developable inventory. Only 36 one-acre-or-larger lots exist in Highland Park, period.

2. Preston Hollow. Old-money Dallas. Larger lots, mature trees, and the densest concentration of architecturally significant homes in the city.

3. Westlake. New ultra-luxury builds, the Vaquero Golf Club, and the corporate executive bracket.

4. Westover Hills (Fort Worth). The Fort Worth equivalent of Highland Park. Independent municipality, ~700 residents, extremely tight inventory, hilly estate-scale lots.

5. Southlake. Family luxury at the peak. Carroll ISD and DFW airport proximity.

6. Colleyville. A step down in price from Southlake with similar profile and larger lots.

7. Trophy Club. Newer luxury builds, country club lifestyle, occasional waterfront access.

8. Prosper / Celina. Outer-ring acreage luxury. Trending up rapidly as buyers push north for land.

What the DFW luxury market is telling us

If you want to see where American wealth is moving, look at DFW. Reports like the Knight Frank Wealth Report and DFW-specific coverage in D Magazine and the Dallas Morning News all point at the same trend.

The gap between DFW and the coasts is narrowing. Five years ago, a $20M home in Dallas was an outlier. Now, $20M-plus listings are a regular feature of the Metroplex inventory.

The acreage premium is unique. DFW is one of the only US ultra-luxury markets where buyers can secure 10-plus acres within 30 minutes of a major airport and a downtown core.

And the off-market layer is doing the heavy lifting. A meaningful share of $15M-plus DFW deals never hit the MLS, moving instead through a tight network of luxury brokerages. What's publicly listed is a fraction of what's actually available — which is exactly how luxury agents land listings like these in the first place.

The forecast: continued price compression with the coastal markets as long as corporate relocations keep landing executives in Texas.

How to buy or list a luxury home in DFW

Navigating a market moving this fast looks different depending on which side of the table you're on.

For buyers. If you're shopping in the $5M-plus bracket, working with a connected listing agent isn't optional. The off-market inventory is the real inventory. We connect qualified buyers with the top luxury agents in each DFW submarket through the BallerCribs Agent Network — that's how you see the whisper listings before they're public.

For agents. BallerCribs features trophy DFW listings to an audience that includes the exact buyer profile for these homes. If you have a listing that belongs in this conversation, partner with us.

For sellers. Marketing a $15M home is a different exercise than selling a normal property. The Dallas Morning News real estate section still matters, but today's buyers are visual and global. The win comes from private broker networks, social reach, cinematic 3D walkthroughs, drone footage, and tightly staged in-person showings.

Stay on the pulse of DFW luxury

The top of the market moves fast. Quiet sales, new listings, and the occasional $64M chess move all happen between quarterly updates.
