PAPERCITY PROMOTION Luxury T his private compound at 10331 Strait Lane is second to none in Dallas. The walled and gated estate, sprawling across 1.99 acres, is the epitome of family living and entertaining on a grand scale, all with top-of-the-line security and privacy rarely afforded in the heart of the city. The home — which has never before been on the market — was custom- built for one owner by Barry Buford of BufordHawthorne. Designed by architect Larry E. Boerder, the house is equipped with a Vermont slate roof, geothermal amenities, a generator, and lightning protection system. Pass through the porte cochère to find a full athletic building that rivals any private club, with a full indoor basketball court and large fitness area that can house a plethora of wellness equipment, including Pilates reformers and private barre accessories. Should you not need the basketball court, the space would be ideal for a car collection, given its entrance ramp from one of the six garage bays. Indoor amenities include spa-like bathrooms with saunas and steam showers; a media room; wine storage; large living area; a suite ideal for a live-in with private staircase, living area, bedroom, and kitchenette; and a basement perfect for a poker table or arcade game, whatever your vice. Outside, enjoy a sunken lighted tennis court, large grassy area, and pool with spa and slide, as well as a built-in grotto flush with water features. Smart-home features can be found throughout the estate, making it easy to lock and leave while controlling the assets remotely — truly the definition of modern luxury.
