The $5 million-plus listing at 5590 N. 40 Place sits on five acres and includes horse stalls, a playhouse, a putting green, its own exercise trail, and a “resort-worthy pool.”
“Estate home site on secluded 5 acre property offers unique oasis in far N Dallas. Numerous mature trees. Gated subdivision of ‘The North Forty’ is one of Dallas’ most prestigious addresses served by Plano schools. Backs to 40 acres of open space w-winding creek. Abundant wildlife & flora,” reads a description posted on Trulia.
Here is some of what Candy’s Dirt published about the property:
North 40 Place.
Never heard of it? Well, that’s kind of the idea. This secluded, serene enclave just off Frankford Road was once full of grazing cattle and was known as Oakdale Farm. In 1966, a man named Ross Forney bought the farm, divided it into eight exclusive lots, invited prominent families to move in, and added amenities like a stable and tennis court. Now it’s filled with a select smattering of multi-acre estates.
Today, the neighborhood still feels ranch-like. The bright green lawns are dappled with lush vegetation that benefited from a lot of spring rain. A branch of White Rock Creek, which stretches from Lakewood to Prosper, flows nearby. It’s an idyllic backdrop for everyday life.
Of all the properties, Kay Cheek’s listing at 5590 N, 40 Place, is set the farthest back off Frankford Road with a gated drive up through the heavily wooded, five-acre property.
“Where am I again?” you might say to yourself. No worries – you’re still in a big city with Tom Thumb and Mi Cocina just up the street, and downtown Dallas is a 20-minute drive down the Dallas North Tollway. The neighborhood is zoned within the highly ranked Plano Independent School District with neighborhood children attending Haggar Elementary, Frankford Middle School, Shepton High School, and Plano West Senior High.
