This gorgeous Italian Villa, designed by the renowned Richard Drummond Davis and featured on the cover of Texas Living, is secluded on 18 acres that perfectly blends timeless elegance with modern luxury, bringing the benchmark of Mediterranean style right to the heart of Ellis County! Highlighted by a dramatic entryway, the prominent front turret houses the statement staircase. The foyer opens directly into the expansive family room, dominated by a vaulted ceiling with antique roughhewn wooden beams salvaged from a local barn. The same rough-faced limestone used on the exterior also define the entry & archways in the living and kitchen. Entertain effortlessly with a chef's kitchen to die for flowing effortlessly into several dining spaces and living room including both a walk-in pantry and separate butler's pantry.

Upstairs you'll find the office, guest quarters and the massive media room. Step outside to your personal oasis; a sparling pool with a one-of-a-kind slide, separate spa, enormous, covered patio with a 3rd fireplace and outdoor kitchen built for hosting unforgettable gatherings 12 months a year. It doesn't stop there with a detached barn offering extensive storage and versatility easily accommodating 4 more vehicles PLUS your boat, RV and ATV.
