Texas-Sized Deck
Dallas, Texas

They say everything's bigger in Texas, and this Dallas home's huge promenade deck is certainly no exception. The sprawling, three-tiered space overlooks 8,000-acre Grapevine Lake and features two swimming pools and plenty of space for seating. Your friends and family will be clamoring to stay in the charming three-bedroom, three-bathroom guesthouse adjacent to the deck, where some of the best lake views can be admired.

If you need a break from the Texas heat, there's plenty to explore inside the 20,000-square-foot French-influenced castle. Check out the Moroccan-themed media room, the trophy room and the ultra-lavish master suite with opulent architectural details.
