A $1.4 million dream home fit for any proud Texan just hit the market and went viral for its unique indoor pool.
The listing for the six-bedroom, five-bathroom mansion in Royse City, roughly 30 miles northeast of Dallas, was recently picked up by Twitter user Zillow Gone Wild.
“Q: What’s the most Texas thing you could ever do? A: Have a Texas shaped indoor pool,” read the post.
Most users were all for it, with one writing, “This thing got an [HEB] nearby? If so I’m calling a realtor.”
Making reference to the famous song, another joked, “the pool inside … is deep and wide (clap clap clap) deep in the heart of Texas.”
Building a Texas-shaped pool, indeed, appears to be a very Texas thing to do.
As previously reported in The Dallas Express, a gigantic outdoor saltwater pool shaped like the state was built in Plano in 1961 and has since been designated a historical landmark.
Lazy rivers shaped like Texas have also popped up, such as on the rooftop of the Marriott Marquis in downtown Houston.
Some other Texas-appropriate features in this Royse City mansion include a tornado shelter, a band stage, a three-truck garage, a billiards room, and a 200-amp warehouse workshop with a bathroom.
On Zillow, the property is listed as having been on the market since April 28, when the asking price was $1.7 million.
Listed by Ebby Halliday Realtors, the property is located at 209 Sabine Creek Rd. It comes with nearly 5 acres of land and the option to buy more.
The home, built in 1996, already spans an impressive 6,191 square feet.
Moreover, the listing boasts luxurious amenities like an outdoor kitchen, a built-in fireplace, and a cozy courtyard with a hot tub and gazebo. The property also features a greenhouse and a guest house with its own driveway.
Another North Texas listing with a unique feature is currently being auctioned off in nearby Rockwall for a starting bid of $1.5 million.
The 14-acre property has its own personal Brunswick bowling alley, as previously reported in The Dallas Express. The newly built five-bedroom, six-bathroom home was originally listed at $5 million when it first hit the market.
