About this home
Villa Papillon--The Castle of Ellis County
A masterpiece of timeless European architecture, Villa Papillon, known as The Castle of Ellis County, blends exceptional design, enduring craftsmanship, and refined country living. Designed by acclaimed architect Richard Drummond Davis, this extraordinary residence rests on more than 18 pristine acres within an exclusive gated enclave of Tuscan-inspired estates, offering remarkable privacy just minutes from Waxahachie.
A stately stone façade, dramatic turret, and grand entry introduce interiors distinguished by soaring ceilings, museum-quality wall finishes, reclaimed hand-hewn timber beams, and extensive rough-faced limestone. Expansive windows fill the home with natural light while framing breathtaking views of the manicured grounds and countryside.
The gourmet kitchen features quartz countertops, premium stainless steel appliances, and flows seamlessly into the breakfast, dining, and living areas.
The private owner's retreat overlooks the lush landscape and offers a spa-inspired bath with a soaking tub, dual vanities, and generous walk-in closets. Three additional bedrooms include a private upper-level suite ideal for guests.
Outdoor living is equally impressive. The expansive covered terrace features a gas fireplace, ceiling fans, a built-in grilling station, and generous space for dining and conversation. Beyond, a resort-style pool with a waterfall, waterslide, and spa creates a private retreat surrounded by sweeping views of the estate.
A five-car attached garage and oversized barn provide exceptional space for vehicles, equipment, hobbies, and recreational toys.
Thoughtfully designed for elegant entertaining and peaceful everyday living, Villa Papillon offers a rare combination of architectural distinction, privacy, and timeless luxury—an exceptional North Texas estate. Buyer and buyer's agent to verify all MLS data....
