The entry off the street... |
There's the house way back there! |
I found the house listed on Zillow - it lists the value at $7.6M but the most recent listings of it for sale have been for significantly more than that (from $69.9M to $17.5M most recently - it is currently not on the market).
Go to the listing and look at the pictures - wow!

But, 14 (!!!) bathrooms to have to clean? Good thing it has "Staff Quarters"!
It has a wikipedia listing too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Champ_d%27Or_Estate
Gotta love this from Wikipedia:
Because of its size, soaring price tag, and what critics see as a gaudy interior, Champ d'Or has been depicted as one of the region's most glaring displays of wealth-driven foppery. In April 2009, D Magazine named the property "The Biggest Little Teardown in Texas", scathingly writing:It seems it sold in 2012 at auction.
In the distance, you’ll see something so huge and so incongruous in its French-baroque-meets-Plano-McMansion mashup that it seems more hallucination than house.
