Dallas Cowboys COO lists Highland Park home for record price

Now is your chance to live in a home built for Dallas royalty, if you have millions lying around. Stephen Jones, COO of the Dallas Cowboys and son of Jerry Jones, and his wife, Karen, have put their Highland Park home on the market for a whopping $11.5 million.

The 10,543-square-foot Georgian-style home was built in 1996, but it has been continuously updated by the couple throughout the years. With its floor-to-ceiling windows, unique light fixtures, and beautiful parquet wood floors, 3900 Miramar Ave. is the ideal of contemporary meets classic. Allie Beth Allman herself has the listing.

All the features of the Highland Park home of your dreams are here: six beautiful bedrooms, four living spaces, and a pool. Oh, and a pub. The office comes equipped with not only floor-to-ceiling bookcases and luscious dark mahogany wood, but also a built-in bar.

A spacious walk-in closet — the kind that inspires major wardrobe envy — is attached the master bedroom, which is upstairs with four other bedrooms. Another living room on the second floor can also double as a playroom for the kids or serve as an upstairs den.

As for outside, the home is equipped with an outdoor fireplace right next to the pool, built-in grill, loggia, and pergola.

Listed at $11.5 million, the price-per-square-foot is $1,091, the highest for the neighborhood, according to Candy's Dirt.

Goodland Grand Prairie

The City of Grand Prairie is growing fast and expanding to make way for a new master-planned development south of US Highway 287 and along Tollway 360, in Ellis and Johnson counties.

The community development, called Goodland, is the result of Grand Prairie’s recent 1,500-acre annexation extending its southern border toward Mansfield. Overall, with the added land, Goodland will be a 5,000-acre site featuring 15,000 residences including townhomes, custom homes, and gated communities for 50,000 residents.

According to a release, it will be a “city within a city” and a 45-minute drive from Dallas-Fort Worth. Beyond housing, there will be shops, restaurants, schools, public and private event venues, regional sports fields and complexes, dance halls, churches, trail systems, city parks, ponds, and preserved green spaces.

“This is a significant step in our city’s development,” says Grand Prairie Mayor Ron Jensen in a statement. “Unlike many of our neighboring cities, we have the unique advantage of new development opportunities to our south that will drive the growth and prosperity of our city. We recognized the opportunity and took decisive action.”

Leading the development is Provident, a Dallas-based real estate firm that has created other master-planned communities across Dallas-Fort Worth, such as Preston Hollow Village and Hillstead in Collin County. Provident has plans to work nature into the space design with more than 1,600 acres of creek corridors and floodplain land.

Plans are ongoing for a centralized mixed-use walkable Town Center, complete with civic buildings and other commercial development. Further south on the property near Highway 67, light industrial uses and other private employment campuses are already underway, projects that will contribute vital tax dollars for city growth and future expansions.

“This level of placemaking is quite rare, and certainly not easy to execute, especially in a brand-new community," says Provident Managing Director Rylan Yowell in a statement. "We are committed to a long-term vision with a desire to be good stewards of the land."

A new four-lane road called Goodland Parkway will link Goodland to Grand Prairie at Tollway 360 and US Highway 287. It's set to open by December 2025.
