This McKinney Estate With Massive Auto Palace Goes to Auction November 7 — No Reserve

The magic takes place in McKinney on November 7.
Auctions are making a comeback, and Elite Auctions is headlining a grand return to DFW, bringing on a trophy McKinney property that will be auctioned off on November 7, with no reserve!
That’s right, you set your bidding price for a beautiful, loaded, Tuscan-inspired estate property. 12,000 delicious square feet. It has an equestrian barn, grazing pasture, treed acreage, a huge indoor/outdoor lagoon-style pool, and even a few rolling hills behind it.
A House for Your Cars
But the frosting is the 6,200-square-foot auto showroom that houses up to 20 vehicles. This room is so much more than a gussied-up garage. More like a Car Palace, the space includes a vintage 1950s soda fountain bar plus a TV room, plus storage galore. It’s the perfect room in a home that is a slam-dunk love affair for car collectors or anyone who loves tinkering with cars.


The 12,000-square-foot estate also features an enormous indoor lagoon-style swimming pool with retractable glass ceiling covers for total year-round pool enjoyment.

Built in 2008 on a former limestone quarry, the property is five minutes from downtown McKinney. It soars 60 feet tall above its barn and pastures, cresting on topography rarely found in North Texas. Heavily treed and private, the estate offers privacy inside a gated community within commuting distance of Dallas, Frisco, and Sherman.
McKinney was recently rated as the top real estate market in the U.S. for its focus on family…


Behind the main house is a charming stable and pasture where miniature horses are currently being raised.


The main residence exudes Texas-style comfort. There are four ensuite bedrooms, six bathrooms, and a chef’s kitchen with premium appliances. A sunroom with the pool and retractable glass ceiling creates seamless indoor-outdoor living from the family room.
Vaulted ceilings, high ceilings, stone fireplaces, and arched doorways embrace Tuscan design, but could easily be adapted to any style. There is also a cold wine storage room, theater, and workout room in the main house. Like horses? A separate, state-of-the-art four-stall barn serves equestrian enthusiasts and houses horses big and small.

The 6,200-square-foot auto showroom is crafted with century-old barn timbers plucked from South Dakota. It houses up to 20 vehicles and includes a charming vintage 1950s-style soda fountain bar.
Investment Potential: Smack Dab in the Highest-Growth Corridor
McKinney, recently ranked the nation’s top real estate market, offers the charm of a historic town paired with a vibrant dining, shopping, and cultural scene. The area also boasts nearly 21% annual job growth, particularly in technology and healthcare. The city’s combination of top-rated schools and accessibility to Dallas, Frisco, and Sherman via major highways is particularly attractive to high-net-worth buyers seeking luxury properties with significant land.
“This estate, located in the gated Paradise Ranch community, perfectly blends privacy, space, and urban convenience,” said Tara McLean, president and co-founder of Elite Auctions. “Amid North Texas’s booming job market and top real estate ranking, this property stands out for its scale, seclusion, and accessibility — making it an ideal option for executives relocating to the area.”
