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.
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 torn down for a complete rebuild four years ago.
“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.
