The most expensive home in Dallas is also the best deal in Dallas. The 14-acre, 10-bedroom mansion, which was listed for $100 million just three years ago, is now available for only $38.5 million https://t.co/pMBdW5Wm6e pic.twitter.com/unhfpNlPrM

The list of amenities is also quite extensive, starting with a sports court, full gym, golf simulator, swimming pool, bowling alley, home theater and a basement music club.
"It’s such a stunning house," said co-listing agent Julie Regan, with Jeff Hornig, of Lakes Sotheby's International Realty.
"It’s a special spot on Lake Minnetonka with incredible views and unbelievable sunsets."
Lake Minnetonka is about 15 miles southwest of Minneapolis and is popular with boaters, sailors and fishermen. There are also lots of bars and restaurants around the 14,528-acre lake.
"It’s one of the most affluent residential areas of Minnesota," Ms. Regan said. As such, this is the priciest property currently for sale in the state, according to the Multiple Listing Service.
"Here you have a lifestyle property, yet you’re so close to the airport and the downtown," she said.

There is a large chef’s kitchen as well as an additional prep kitchen and butler’s pantry. Other rooms on the main level include a sunroom and an office with a double desk and sitting area with a fireplace.

The master suite on the upper level features a sitting area and fireplace, private balcony, his-and-hers closets, laundry, and a luxurious full bath with a hot tub and separate shower.
A stairway from this level leads to a rooftop sky deck.
"The sunsets up there are incredible—and the 4th of July fireworks are spectacular," Ms. Regan said.
