A $13 million listing in the Dallas-Fort Worth suburb of Southlake has it all and then some.
The 20,700-square-foot estate at 935 West Dove Road is the most-expensive listing to hit the market in Texas this month, according to the Houston Association of Realtors.
It features the ultra-luxury basics of six bedrooms, two living rooms and a gym. But then it gets extra, with a bowling alley, three game rooms — one with a bar — along with a tiered media room and 10-car garage. Sitting on 7 acres, the home is priced at $630 per square foot.
Troy George of George & Noonan Real Estate Group has the listing.
For ultra-luxury buyers, over-the-top amenities have come to be an expectation rather than a bonus — especially in Southlake, where the median annual income is over $250,000, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
This home was sold in April before reappearing last month with a 4 percent markup. Another estate nearby, at 1469 Sunshine Lane, also came back onto the market in August, listing at over $27 million — a 50 percent markup from its previous listing at $17.9 million, after going viral for its opulent features last fall. The price increased from $576 to $880 per square foot.
“Here’s the most Southlake home we’ve ever seen,” Zillow Gone Wild posted on X at the time. The now-deleted post was viewed more than 1 million times, the Dallas Morning News reported.
The Sunshine Lane estate has a glass-enclosed trampoline, two saltwater pools, 32-foot ceilings and a yard made from the same turf used in the 2017 Super Bowl at Houston’s NRG Stadium. Plus, a remodel this year added a soundproof music room.
The home at 935 West Dove Road was once owned by local developer Bryan Elliott, property records show. He co-founded Lorant & Elliott Estate Homes with Michael Lorant after selling his marketing firm, which, at the time, was earning $90 million in revenue, according to Lorant & Elliott’s website. The two developed Quail Hollow in 2015, a nearby gated community filled with luxury estates set on large lots.
Elliott and the firm didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. The firm has flipped several Southlake properties in “to the studs” renovations, the website says.

The ultra-luxury home market in Texas has seen heightened activity this year, with Dallas-Fort Worth leading the state with 11 home sales last listed for over $10 million. That already surpassed last year’s count of eight sales and outpaced Houston’s six so far.
Nine of Texas’ most expensive listings asked more than $10 million in October, according to the Houston Association of Realtors. Two out of the top five are in the Dallas area, two are in Houston and two in Austin.
