They say everything's bigger in Texas, and this walled central Dallas estate—up for auction on Oct. 31 with a starting price of $2,999,999—is no exception.
Developed by notable Dallas-area builder Mark Molthan, 6626 Talmadge Lane is more than suitable if we're talking about living space alone—14,576 square feet, eight bedrooms, nine full baths and three half baths, over a full acre in a resort-like setting—but it's really the home's bells and whistles that make it exceptional.

The outdoor space gives new meaning to the word "staycation": a rectilinear pool with submerged sunbathing pads, a tennis court, a spa, and a complete cabana with a kitchen and a barbecue.
Inside, a potential buyer will get not one, but two modern kitchens, one of which is Kosher, as well as an airy living room with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the pool, a coffered-ceilinged formal dining room, a wine cellar, a media room and a gym.
The home also includes an eight-car underground garage with—the ultimate luxury on chilly days—a heated driveway.
According to listing agent Tim Schutze, the estate is expected to sell at or close to the original list price of $5,950,000, and is a perfect home for "a multi-generational family, a family that loves to entertain, or perhaps a professional athlete that is looking for a very unique property.
Bidding—handled by Concierge Auctions—will start at 2 p.m., central time, on the 31st.
