Who Bought Champ d’Or on Turbeville Road in Hickory Creek, Texas? Let’s Speculate
Share News:
Naturally, I won’t sleep until I find out who got the winning bid on Champ d’Or this weekend and how much they paid — confidentiality clauses are the bain of my existence.
I’m getting a few clues. We know it was a Dallas family — Preston Hollow, I’ve heard — with international connections. Many readers have emailed with speculation:
Bob and Mynra Schlegel: Champ could really use an infusion of fresh Pavestone and even though Bob sold the company, I’m sure he can get a deal. (That driveway is at least 600 feet long.) And as Karen Eubank pointed out, what a great place to have the next two kids’ weddings!
Gene and Jerry Jones: they will use it as a weekend family retreat and occasional party house for The Cowboys.
Mark Cuban: Ditto, Mavs.
Khloe & Lamar: Sister Kim will feel very safe in Hickory Creek, only 15 minutes from DFW
Trevor Rees-Jones: Wife Jan is a fantastic animal rights activist, loves animals and flying airplanes. Champ could be a great weekend retreat and can you imagine all the strays you could take into that basement? Besides, Trevor likes to collect houses.
Tim Headington: he’s got his Miami Beach and downtown Dallas condos on the market, lives very conservatively over on Crescent in Highland Park, could use Champ as a getaway and film studio — we had great acoustics in the theater when filming for Zillow.
Randall Stephenson: He did get a $2 million pay cut, but that hasn’t stopped him from building a family compound up on Walnut Hill Lane, which I hear he is is even trying to enlarge. Hmmm maybe he bought Champ. Stephenson could certainly afford a 10.3 million dollar home with a 2011 total pay package at $18.7 million, right?
Scott and Gina Ginsburg: He just sold Park Lane for what, $6 or $7 million? Again, weekend retreat for the fam, close by, and he’s flush with cash from last month’s sale. Maybe he did a 1031 Exchange?
I’m sure there are other qualified candidates: what or rather who is your best guess?
I'm thinking "contest"! Whoever guesses correctly gets lunch with Candy!

What abut the guy who bought the Stoneleigh and all the houses surround Champ to build ticky tacky McMansion?

David Fair because he sold Hexter Fair Title for about $8 million bucks!

The new buyer is likely the DISD for remote board meetings without interruptions.
At $10.3 million spent it would likely be one of their least expensive authorizations
