If you're on the hunt for a new homestead in 2017 (or even the tail end of this year), Residences at the Stoneleigh could be your new definition of #homegoals.
The newly built, 22-story structure at 2300 Wolf St. is adjacent to Uptown and minutes from downtown, Klyde Warren Park, and the Dallas Arts District. And, yes, it is affiliated with the historic Stoneleigh hotel (now Le Méridien Dallas, The Stoneleigh), which has held Art Deco court in the neighborhood since 1923.
Ebby Halliday Realtor Linda Jordan Hobbs and her team of Stacey Beckham Lake, Susan Gamso, and Joe Gall have intel on the endless possibilities that come with the quartet of units she currently has on the market. These units — which range in price from $1.7 and $2 million — are customizable two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath layouts of approximately 2,500 square feet each.
Because Residences at the Stoneleigh is all new, future owners can even personalize their unit's wall coverings, flooring materials, countertops, appliances, cabinetry, lighting design, and more before they move in.
And once you've got your living space planned down to the tiniest detail, it's time to focus on the building's amenities. Who wouldn’t love a private elevator, large balconies, and panoramic views? Plus there's also 24/7 concierge service, a resort-style pool, fully equipped fitness center, outdoor fireplace and grills, and multiple entertaining areas that include a theater, bar, and banquet room. And Fido even has his own dog park. #homegoals indeed.

The Rollin R Ranch in North Texas is on the market for $21.5 million.
A North Texas ranch with ties to the White House is on the market for $21.5 million.
Dallas oil and gas executive Tony Roosevelt, the grandson of President Franklin Roosevelt, is selling his 1,300-acre Rolling R Ranch in Cooke County, which is along the Texas-Oklahoma border. Blake Hortenstine, Cash McWhorter, and Jonathan James, all of Hortenstine Ranch Co., have the listing.
Roosevelt bought the ranch in 1999. He and his wife, JoAnne Roosevelt, had used the property as a weekend retreat, The Wall Street Journal reported.
The ranch, about 75 miles north of Dallas-Fort Worth, features rolling terrain dotted with hardwood forests, native grasslands, and mature pecan groves. The property sits along more than 2.5 miles of Clear Creek.
“For Tony Roosevelt, Rolling R Ranch represented the realization of a lifelong vision. His appreciation for ranching began during his youth at his family’s original Rolling R Ranch in Colorado,” Hortenstine Ranch Co. says in a news release.
“Those experiences shaped his belief that land should be experienced, cared for and shared across generations. Rather than recreating the Colorado property, he spent decades thoughtfully assembling adjoining acreage in Cooke County and shaping a ranch uniquely suited to the North Texas landscape.”
Over time, the Roosevelts’ children and grandchildren would go horseback riding, hiking, camping, or fishing when they visited Rolling R. The property lies near the historic Chisholm and Butterfield Overland National Historic trails.
“What makes Rolling R Ranch truly special isn’t simply its size or location,” Blake Hortenstine says. “It’s the intentional way it was created. Every trail, overlook, and improvement reflects decades of thoughtful stewardship. Opportunities to acquire a property with this level of natural beauty, privacy and history are exceptionally rare.”
According to the listing firm, Tony Roosevelt delayed construction of the ranch’s hilltop lodge until he bought enough nearby property to protect unobstructed views.
Improvements at the ranch included establishing a seven-mile trail system, installing owl boxes and bluebird houses, and setting up wildlife sanctuary areas. Deer, turkey, waterfowl, native birds, wild hogs, coyotes, bobcats, and other wildlife populate the ranch.
While the outdoor amenities and wildlife are impressive, so are the buildings at the ranch.
The 3,716-square-foot main house, built in 2014, offers four bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms. The open-concept great room features a stone fireplace with stone flooring that extends to the main living areas.
The kitchen includes granite countertops, custom cabinetry, a large center island, and a butler’s pantry. A wet bar is next to the main living area. Just off the kitchen is a screened-in porch overlooking the landscaped and irrigated grounds, along with a swimming pool and hot tub.
A 2,800-square-foot barndominium does double duty as the ranch’s headquarters and lodging for visitors.
The barndominium’s upper level includes four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a full kitchen, an open living area, and a screened-in balcony overlooking the surrounding wildlife sanctuary. The lower level features a climate-controlled workshop with a full bathroom. Adjacent to the workshop is a four-stall horse barn, one of four barns on the property.
“Whether envisioned as a legacy family retreat, a premier recreational ranch, or a long-term investment in one of North Texas’ most desirable ranching regions, Rolling R Ranch stands among the finest offerings to come to market in recent years and represents an opportunity that discerning buyers may not see again for decades,” Blake Hortenstine says.
