Welcome to a truly extraordinary estate where privacy, craftsmanship, and passion come together on 10 wooded acres just minutes from the heart of McKinney.

Foam insulation contributes to the home's energy efficiency, while multiple walk-in attics provide an exceptional amount of easily accessible storage.

Mature trees provide exceptional privacy, while an open pasture and separate four-stall barn offer space for horses and other animals.
