Max Anderson is Leaving the DMA and Listing His Wilderness Court Estate

6309 Wildnerness Front

Not too long ago Candy wrote about how Max Anderson and his then wife, Jacqueline Buckingham Anderson, were doing the “conscious uncoupling” thing and had put their beautiful home in Williamsburg Estates in Preston Hollow in North Dallas (north of LBJ) on the market. Heck, Jacqueline even wrote a book about it: “Separating into Wholeness: Revolutionary Relationships & Evolutionary Families.” Only, they didn’t end up splitting for good after all, and remarried just three months after their widely reported separation.

Now come reports that Max has left his position as the director of the Dallas Museum of Art for the News Cities Foundation. His new role is that of “director of grant programs” for the organization, which is based out of Paris. Anderson had a hand in bringing the New Cities Summit to Dallas last year, which hosted some great panels on the future of Dallas.

Here’s hoping the Andersons get enough for their gorgeous contemporary at 6309 Wilderness Court that they can buy one of these amazing apartments in the city of lights. (Update: The DMN says that the Andersons will be relocating to New York City.)

Seriously, though, their home is an absolute treasure, and they’ve listed it with David Nichols at Allie Beth Allman. Jump to see more, or you could visit the broker open house tomorrow.

This gorgeous estate has almost 6,400 square feet inside and sits on a 1 acre grassy lot that backs up to a nature preserve. You can enjoy those views from the huge back patio and the picture windows that are strategically placed in every room. It’s listed for $2.195 million, which comes out to $343 per square foot.

The kitchen and master suite are just stellar (check out Jacqueline’s closet!), and I love the personality in the kids rooms. In all, there are five bedrooms, five full and one half baths, beautiful formal living and dining areas, and a cute library.

    The interior of this home is absolutely horrific. Maybe the owners will acquire some taste after they move to NYC.

    The first sentence of this post states that the house is in Preston Hollow. According to google maps, this house is above 635 which is definitely not Preston Hollow.

    CH, absolutely correct and corrected. The home is north of Spring Valley near Hughes Lane, actually a gorgeous part of town.

    KP I think it is stunningly decorated and the art is beautiful!

      I have to agree with Candy. The house is gorgeous and the art is fantastic. Max is a good guy. He made an large impact in a short time. I’ll be sorry to see him leave Dallas.
