When Richard Asprey left the UK and moved to Texas, he chose Southlake for its reputation as one of the premier places to live in the Metroplex. With its vibrant shopping scene, family-friendly atmosphere, and unbeatable location just 15 minutes from DFW Airport, Southlake offered the ideal combination of convenience and community. For Richard, it was an ideal place to raise a family while seamlessly accommodating his travel needs for work. He also knew it would be a convenient place to host events, making travel for his guests effortless. 

The main house is an impressive 5,571 square feet and features three bedrooms and three bathrooms.   The guest quarters add an additional 1,858 square feet of living space, all situated on a sprawling 1.39-acre lot.

This dream home was custom-built to reflect Asprey’s passion for motorcycles. Every detail has been thoughtfully designed in collaboration with an artist to offer a living experience like no other. Among its standout features is a striking steel staircase leading to an executive conference/boardroom and a large finished showroom designed as a collector’s showcase. The spacious estate currently showcases Asprey’s 90 motorcycles. The home’s chandeliers and custom lighting echo the motorcycle-inspired aesthetic, while the kitchen stuns with cabinets painted in bold BMW red.
