The Crespi Estate - Dallas

5619 Walnut Hill Lane

A LEGACY OF LUXURY

Hidden behind wrought iron gates, in exclusive Preston Hollow, is perhaps the most impressive and architecturally private estate in the country. Crespi Estate, the breathtaking limestone mansion designed in 1938 by world-renowned architect Maurice Fatio, was his final, definitive work- a lasting tribute to a bygone era of artistry and craftsmanship that shaped every detail of this irreplaceable residence.

The home was commissioned by - and served as a luxurious outpost for - the Italian Count Pio Crespi, who had been sent to Dallas to oversee his family’s cotton empire. Host to presidents, celebrities and far-flung dignitaries, the Count entertained guests in, amongst others, a lavish silver-leafed Art Deco bar room and stunning library paneled in 19th century Italian burled walnut.

The original property remained in the Crespi Family until 1997. When the second owners acquired it, they began meticulous restoration and expansion which took nearly 3 years and as many as 250 craftsmen - including renowned Dallas builder John Sebastian, noted New York Architect and interior designer Peter Marino and London landscape architect Arabella Lennox-Boyd.

The property is just under 12 acres of prime Preston Hollow real estate. Today, it is one of the largest & most exclusive single residential properties in Central Dallas, with the city’s bustling downtown, Uptown and Arts District a mere 8 minutes away. In addition to a greatly expanded 27,000+ square foot residence, the estate includes a two-story guest house, a helipad, a massive timbered recreation complex with expansive outdoor loggia, tennis court, basketball court, greenhouse, rose and vegetable gardens and extensive landscaping with a waterfall feature on a wooded creek side lot. The irreplaceable Crespi Estate will take your breath away around every corner.
