Set on 3.3 acres, the property lingered on the market for a year before its final asking price settled at $10.9 million. Dallas Business Journal reported that the buyer flew to see the four-bedroom home in February and shortly after, it went under contract.

Sprawling on over 16,000 square feet, almost four times less than the actual White House, the home boasts a two-story grand foyer with French limestone floors, which leads to elegant rooms with high ceilings and fireplace mantels of 18^th-century marble and limestone. A home theatre, a bar room, a wine cellar with an adjacent tasting room complete the interior.

Outside, the grounds might as well be more impressive than those of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Amid more than 200 trees, a koi pond, a bath house, a pavilion, connected swimming pools and a tennis court await. The residence also features a 6-car garage.

Former owners Ralph and Cathy Oats, founders of Wellness International Network, first purchased the estate back in 2014 for almost $20 million.
