Tuscan Elegance Meets Modern Luxury In Gated Estate

Inspired by the grand villas of the Tuscan countryside, this commanding, completely gated estate at 5335 Meaders Lane rests on a lot and a half. Its expansive presence stretches nearly a block along one of Preston Hollow’s most admired neighborhoods in Mayflower Estates. Designed by noted architect Elby Martin and built by Bob Thompson, one of Dallas’s most respected high-end builders, this residence captures the soul of a Tuscan mansion with modern livability. From the Italian-barrel tile roof to stately stone exteriors, every detail feels authentic. Lush grounds unfold over one point one acres, enhanced by moonlit mature trees, two courtyards including a private meditation garden and four hand-crafted fountains. Multiple verandas, terraces, and six balconies all with beautiful sweeping views create effortless indoor-outdoor living. A resort-style pool with cascading spouts, a just-completed sport court, and a fully appointed cabana with kitchen, fireplace, and dome ceiling set the stage for year-round entertaining. The property also offers a 1,159 sq. ft. attached guest or au pair house with its own private exterior staircase and convenient parking pads. Inside, artistry and craftsmanship abound: a twenty-four foot ceiling entry with custom Solara iron stair, a seventy-foot groin-vaulted gallery with hand-painted Italian frescoes, wine cellar and tasting room, billiard and game rooms, and a media room with motorized recliners. Clerestory windows frame sweeping estate views that underscore the home’s connection to its surroundings. With geothermal HVAC, a recently installed whole-house generator and thoughtful design; this is an extraordinary Tuscan-inspired retreat expansive in scale commanding in presence and unrivaled in its Dallas setting.
