Glenn Beck sells DFW mansion ahead of move out of Texas

Conservative commentator Glenn Beck, a longtime North Texas resident, has sold his 8,900-square-foot mansion.

DALLAS — A big home — with a big name behind it — is off the North Texas real estate market.

Conservative commentator Glenn Beck recently sold his Westlake estate, which was last listed for $11.75 million, according to Zillow. The final sale price was not disclosed. The sale closed on Oct. 31.

Beck has long called Westlake — an affluent enclave just west of Southlake in northern Tarrant County — home, but he recently announced he and his wife are moving to Florida.

Beck, 61, a former Fox News commentator, is the co-founder and voice behind the conservative Blaze Media. 

His estate on King Fisher Drive in Westlake included an 8,900-square-foot home set on 3.5 acres.

“Tucked behind its own set of private gates is this estate of exquisitely designed interiors—where architectural brilliance and refined elegance coalesce in a symphony of scale, texture, and light,” the listing touted. “From soaring ceilings & stone fireplaces to hand-hewn beams & floor-to-ceiling glass, the home exudes both grandeur & intimacy in equal measure. At the heart of the home, a designer chef’s kitchen with double islands, top-tier Viking appliances, and an expansive scullery is both a showpiece & a functional haven for culinary pursuits.”

The home was built in 2004, and Beck initially purchased it in 2012, according to Tarrant County property records. Pro golfer Brandt Jobe was a previous owner of the home, records say.

The six-bedroom home includes stone fireplaces, “hand-hewn beams” and floor-to-ceiling glass windows, according to the listing.

There’s also a private gym, a guest casita, a firepit lounge and pool with a spa.

Michael Hershenberg, of the The Hershenberg Group, and Brad Cook marketed the property.
