The mansion sits on 1.5 acres of land and has 11,155 square feet of interior living space. There is a "bonus room" that can be converted into a sixth bedroom or a fitness center, according to Platinum Luxury Auctions, which is handling the sale.
The current owner, an oil executive, purchased the home in 2013 for an undisclosed amount, property records show. A new home custom designed by Matt Powers Custom Homes was completed in 2016.
The home features custom-made doors, molding, French oak floors, and Crestron home automation system throughout.
