Editor’s Note: Every Thursday, the best open houses in Dallas and beyond are featured at CandysDirt.com. These are a few of our favorites from the year thus far. And you’re in luck because two of the three featured homes are still on the market at reduced asking prices.
The Landing On The Lake
This massive castle on a 2-acre lot is the stuff that dreams are made of.
Priced at $5.35 million when we first featured it in May, 2105 Bayshore Drive, Flower Mound, has everything on your dream house bucket list. It’s still on the market, and the price has dropped to $4.75 million.
The majestic estate is in the exclusive gated The Landing community, complete with an equestrian facility, private pond, and immediate access to Lake Grapevine.
We learned recently from our expert builders at Avant Group that buyers are seeking more space in this post-COVID era, particularly capitalizing on home offices and outdoor entertainment areas.
With guest and nanny quarters, a home gym, and a movie theater, there’s plenty of room for the occupants to spread out, work from home, and entertain guests – all at the same time. Built in 2001, the home has several updates, 10,200 square feet, and a six-car garage. The backyard oasis with fireplace, spa, and pool sets the scene for a perfect summer garden party.
The Hershenberg Group, brokered by Keller Williams Realty, has the listing.
All The Bells And Whistles
Great location? Check. Massive 1.5-acre lot? Check. Five bedrooms and a ton of amenities? Check and check.
This $2.1 million mansion at 4500 Whitestone Drive, Parker, has literally everything. It’s huge, it’s beautiful, and it has the kind of stuff you haven’t even thought you might want in a house. It’s still on the market, with a lower asking price of $1.99 million.
The one-and-a-half-story home has an upstairs media room, downstairs game room and home office, and spacious rooms for family gatherings and entertaining. The oversized spaces in the 4,810-square-foot home are designed for luxury.
The best materials were used in this build, and great attention to detail is shown in the master bath’s free-standing soaking tub, granite vanities, and frameless glass tiled shower.
But lest we get too caught up in the fun stuff, there are also are some practical features. The home is in Plano ISD. It has a three-car garage, tons of wood floors, and an entertainer’s kitchen.

The amazing house at 4405 Windsor Ridge Drive, Irving, was featured in the week leading up to Fourth of July this year.
The now-off-market $3.5 million home has six bedrooms and nine baths sprawled out across 8,700 square feet.
The gourmet kitchen, two game rooms, glass-encased wine cellar, and backyard oasis with outdoor kitchen make this the best party house in town.
