A
Fort Worth mansion asking nearly $10 million is the ninth priciest listing in Texas this month, according to data from the Houston Association of Realtors. The 7,700-square-foot estate at 6960 Laurel Valley Drive sits on 1.2 acres in the exclusive Mira Vista gated community and boasts an impressive price per square foot of $1,292.

    The property features a sprawling 2,200-square-foot covered patio perfect for entertaining, complete with a pool, outdoor kitchen, and pergola between the main home and guesthouse. The four bedrooms each have an ensuite bath, while recycled hardwood floors run throughout. A game room and media room add to the luxury amenities.

    Ultra-luxury buyers in Fort Worth are scarce, but Donna Kyle Veale of Briggs Freeman Sotheby's International Real Estate is confident that a local buyer will snap up this property. "There's plenty of people here who can buy a house like that," she said. The Mira Vista community offers an 18-hole golf course, six tennis courts, and country club amenities, making it a haven for the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area's wealthiest residents.

    Veale expects a cash buyer to purchase the property, which is typical in the ultra-luxury market. The recent rate cut may lead to rising home prices in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, but Veale remains optimistic about finding a buyer for this exceptional estate.
