Big Is Back, II: If You Can't Find A Big Enough Lot, Buy Three ...

More proof of what I was writing earlier: big is back when it comes to the uber rich building homes in Dallas real estate. And if you cannot find a lot big enough for your dream mansion, you just buy several and tear down whatever the hec?is on them. Voila, dream compound Readers have been emailing?me, asking me who is building what appears to be?a compound of homes on Walnut Hill Lane, Old Preston Hollow, south side between Hollow Way and Meadowbrook.

?Is it a bunch of Arabs?? wrote one reader.

?Has Mitt Romney inspired polygamy already?? wrote another

At times, I?m told 50 to 60 trucks have been jamming Walnut Hill on construction.

Here?s the dirt: It?s Randall Stephenson, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of AT&T, Inc. He bought the home in the middle, a spec home built?by?Mehrdad?Moayedi?s?Cresent?Estates ? Mehrdad?is the guy who bought the Stoneleigh?Residences, recall. Stephenson?bought 5404 Walnut Hill, a 12,000 square foot residence from Crescent in 2009, and has been fixing?it up a bit. Then he bought 5322, next door, in November of 2010, and built a 5,000 square foot home for his daughter and her young family, then bought 5414 last April and are building a small guest house there with two bedrooms and an exercise pavilion. Both end lots are a little under one acre, and Mr. Stephenson is a shrewd businessman: they all get a tax break for being on Walnut Hill Lane. But he?s constructing that beautiful stone wall to fence the whole compound in and muffle the noise from Walnut Hill, make it safe for kids and dogs to play.

Best of all: the?cell phone reception is damn good right there on Walnut Hill!
