Priced at $24.9M, ‘The Forty’ Listed by Jonathan Rosen Is Among the Best We’ve Seen

Luxury real estate in Dallas is one of the most sought-after markets in the country. Our only challenge is providing enough of these ultra-luxury homes for our high-net-worth buyers. As of Feb. 24, there were only four single-family homes over $20 million on the market. Fortunately, Compass Realtor Jonathan Rosen has just listed another one with more acreage than anything currently available, and it’s the most extraordinary estate Dallas has seen in years.

Dallas’ CRE economy and booming relocations have been bringing these high-net-worth buyers to town. With two stock exchanges launching and the $500 million Goldman Sachs campus opening in late 2027, Dallas has become a global banking center. According to the Texas Economic Development Corporation, Texas leads every other state in the number of Fortune 500 companies, with 11 in Dallas as of May 2024. A Compass 2024 Ultra Real Estate Report revealed that Dallas-Fort Worth led Texas in home sales priced over $10 million. 

“Dallas has consistently ranked among the top 10 hottest real estate markets, driven by a strong economy and an influx of corporate relocations,” Rosen said. “The ultra-luxury sector remains resilient, with demand projected to stay robust through 2025. Dallas will remain a top designation for buyers seeking exclusivity and sophistication.”

Dubbed “The Forty,” this North Dallas property epitomizes exclusivity. This impressive estate sits on 6.5 acres and has 21,800 square feet, nine bedrooms, and 14 bathrooms in total. That includes a 4,480-square-foot, two-story guest house. Considering multiple 2025 forecasts predict a heightened focus on security and privacy, it could beautifully house your 24/7 security team. 

The dramatic custom home was designed for a family that values privacy but also enjoys the ability to host large-scale events and charity galas. 

The Forty is accessed through a gated entrance off of Frankford Rd. At the end of a private driveway that’s surrounded by lush grounds, a custom freshwater pond with a waterfall and fountain, and miles of walking trails, you will arrive at the dramatic entrance. You’ll notice a regulation-size sports court and a putting green on your way. If you are staying awhile, you can park in a temperature-controlled 12-car garage (with lifts, so there is room for 24).

Once inside, the striking great room requires a pause to take it all in. Silver-leafed coffered ceilings cast a magnificent glow, and dual marble fireplaces frame the view of the gardens, pavilion, and massive Roman pool. This is a perfect spot for a grand cocktail party or holiday gathering.  On the opposite side of one of the fireplaces, you will find a handsome study and bar area.

The owner’s suite in the East Wing of The Forty has a living area with a private verandah. Of course, you will find two enormous closets and his-and-hers bathrooms; hers is mirrored and wrapped in silver leaf, and his features espresso marble and walnut cabinetry. There is also a fully equipped gym on this level.

Take the elevator, ensconced in custom artwork, to the ground-floor entertainment level, where you can enjoy the game room overlooking the pool. A kitchenette, juice bar, spa room with a steam shower, and wine cellar with a thousand-bottle capacity will keep the entire family happy. Yes, there is a stunning home theater as well.

All of this, and you have excellent proximity to your jet at Addison Airport, the Bent Tree Golf Club, and The Clubs of Prestonwood. If you are traveling internationally, DFW is 25 minutes away. With the scarcity of ultra-luxury homes on the market, this magnificent estate is a welcome addition.

Rosen has “The Forty” at 5530 North Forty Place available for $24.995 million.
