A recently listed home located at 1112 Post Oak Place in Westlake’s Vaquero subdivision broke the record for the most expensive asking price in Tarrant County history at $27.75 million.
The European-inspired estate — nicknamed Philoxenia — was listed by Kelly Marcontell and Susan Gilchrest of the Marcontell + Gilchrest Group with Ebby Halliday, REALTORS. The property was originally built in 2009 but renovated down to the studs starting in 2022.
“Vaquero has officially received full buildout,” Marcontell said in a press release. “When a premier community reaches completion with no more available building sites, the value of the dirt skyrockets. For years, buyers have opted for extensive down-to-the-studs renovations, but we are now seeing the market shift toward complete teardowns.”
The property, situated on a 1.5-acre lot, features five bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a five-car garage, a hidden speakeasy and a panic room.
Luxury finishes include:
- A granite cobblestone drive
- Natural slate roof
- Arcadia steel doors
- White oak herringbone floors
- Hand-selected marble
- Gourmet kitchen appliances
- Italian dressing room
- Infinity pool with a 14-foot waterfall
- Advanced infrastructure including geothermal heating and cooling, acoustic insulation, Vantage lighting and an integrated security system.

“From nearly every surface being meticulously cladded in rift-cut oak, poplar and Italian marble, to the incredible lake-facing infinity pool, every detail has been executed with extraordinary vision,” Gilchrest said. “For today’s highest-level luxury buyers, time is the ultimate luxury. Attempting a transformation or build of this caliber on a lot this prominent would require three to four years of construction management and supply chain management. Philoxenia gives a buyer the rare opportunity to acquire an immediate, turnkey masterpiece.”
Residence in Vaquero includes membership to the community’s exclusive golf club.
