A nearly 5-acre estate in one of the best suburbs around Dallas, Texas, is looking for new owners. And it has plenty to offer its future residents!
Designed by the esteemed local builder Michael Kindred, the property sits on 4.83 landscaped acres in Southlake and features an extra generous 23,605 square feet, with grand interiors and upscale finishes.
It’s also built almost like a compound retreat, with a gated entrance and privacy walls meant to keep it as private as it is fun. Why fun, you might ask?
Because its world-class amenities range from a regulation-size indoor basketball court (that can just as easily be converted into two pickleball courts) to a dedicated entertainment wing (with a two-lane bowling alley, among other cool features) and a resort-style backyard. And that’s just scratching the surface, so let’s take a quick tour, shall we?

Nearly 5 acres of privacy in Southlake, Texas
The oversized property is located in the prime Dallas suburb of Southlake, consistently ranked as one of the wealthiest cities in Texas. It also falls within the top-rated Carroll Independent School District, making it a great choice for affluent parents house-shopping in the area.
The 4.83-acre property is supremely private, despite being located in prime Southlake. That’s thanks to the gated entrance (which also features a security call box and camera) and privacy walls that shield it from prying eyes.
Anchored by one of Southlake’s most impressive homes
The property, now listed for $11,448,000 with Sherri Murphy of Coldwell Banker Realty, is accurately touted as one of the most impressive homes in Southlake — and its track record of ownership proves that.
The sprawling mansion was previously home to six-time NBA All-Star Jermaine O’Neal, and retains some standout amenities that hint at its former owner (including the full-size indoor basketball court).
The mansion has 8 bedrooms, 13 baths
The elegant Mediterranean-style mansion has everything you could ask for in a home and more, with 8 bedrooms, 10 full baths, and 3 half baths, formal and informal gathering spaces, two-stories-tall common areas, and an impressive amenity roster.
With interiors made for large-scale entertaining
Several living areas, including two on the second floor, offer ample space for gatherings — both formal and intimate.
But it’s the downstairs living areas that steal the show, particularly the two-story open living space that features statement chandeliers, glossy marble finishes, and colossal windows overlooking the property grounds.
The chef’s kitchen has a commercial-grade gas cooktop, premium appliances
The gourmet kitchen features top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, including a commercial-grade gas cooktop, double ovens, a built-in fridge-freezer, dual dishwashers, and warming & cooling drawers.
Complemented by large pantries for added storage
A generous walk-in pantry and a well-appointed butler’s pantry — complete with a beverage fridge, a dishwasher, a sink, an ice machine — ensure effortless entertaining.
A fine dining room
The elegant formal dining area seats 10 in front of a striking 2-story wall of windows overlooking the courtyard area, with an elegant modern chandelier hanging above and natural limestone flooring.
Could easily serve as a multi-generational home
With its smart layout, two-story design, several living areas, and extra-generous square footage, the home can easily serve as a multi-generational estate.
An oversized primary bedroom suite
With a unique trayed ceiling, the elegant primary suite has a custom doorway and wood trim details, and features his-and-hers custom closets with built-in dressers and a private porch for enjoying the cool evenings and beautiful sunsets.
His and hers offices
The home also offers dual offices for the heads of the household, with one boasting an airy and bright feel, while the other is a more sophisticated, wood-clad space with custom built-in cabinets and a bookcase.
Both feature a wall of windows that overlook the backyard.
The long list of amenities includes an entertainment wing
Amenities are the name of the game for this suburban Dallas mansion.
And some of the nicest ones are packed inside the home’s dedicated entertainment wing, which includes a full custom bar (with a refrigerator and ice machine), a theater-like media room with plush carpeting, tiered seating, and a dry bar area, as well as other fun additions.
With a two-lane bowling alley
Future owners will get to play billiards, cards, and even a game of bowling in the dedicated 2-lane bowling alley the home has been outfitted with.
And a regulation-size basketball court
A separate 6,160-square-foot structure holds a regulation-size indoor basketball court — a rare amenity that we usually see in properties priced over $25 million.
The basketball court, hinting at the home’s illustrious past owner, can also be converted into two pickleball courts, or easily accommodate other sports or hobbies.
A resort-style backyard
Adding to the long list of amenities is a backyard oasis with several covered sitting areas, a cabana, a fireplace to cozy up to on cool nights, and an outdoor kitchen, all overlooking the resort-style pool with a slide, multiple water features, and a relaxing spa.
Rounding out the offering
Complete with two garages (for a total of 6 cars) and a large motor court, the Southlake, Texas home also has a lovely playground area, a dog yard with artificial grass and a doggy door, and even a little cat playroom in the sun room.
Practical additions include a gas backup generator, two private water wells, and a built-in surround system (there’s even built-in outdoor speakers in the backyard).
