Property Overview
PRICE ADJUSTED $1.4M from top estate appraiser's $10.9M valuation to encourage a sale within 2026! Inspired by the grand villas of the Tuscan countryside, this commanding, completely gated estate at 5335 Meaders Lane rests on a lot and a half. Its expansive presence stretching nearly a block along one of Preston Hollow’s most admired neighborhoods in Mayflower Estates. Designed by noted architect Elby Martin and built by Bob Thompson, one of Dallas’ most respected high-end builders, this residence captures the soul of a Tuscan mansion with modern livability. From the Italian-barrel tile roof to stately stone exteriors, every detail feels authentic. Lush grounds unfold over 1.1 acres, enhanced by moonlit mature trees, two courtyards—including a private meditation garden—and four hand-crafted fountains. Multiple verandas, terraces, and six balconies—all with beautiful sweeping views—create effortless indoor-outdoor living. A resort-style pool with cascading spouts, a just-completed sport court, and a fully appointed cabana with kitchen, fireplace, and dome ceiling set the stage for year-round entertaining. The property also offers a 1,159 sq. ft. attached guest or au pair house (or ideal office space) with its own private exterior staircase and convenient parking pads. Inside, artistry and craftsmanship abound: a 24-ft ceiling entry with custom Solara iron stair, a 70-ft groin-vaulted gallery with hand-painted Italian frescoes, wine cellar and tasting room, billiard and game rooms, and a media room with motorized recliners. Clerestory windows frame sweeping estate views, underscoring the home’s connection to its surroundings. With geothermal HVAC, a recently installed whole-house generator, and thoughtful design, this is an extraordinary Tuscan-inspired retreat—expansive in scale, commanding in presence, and unrivaled in its Dallas setting. Current owners elevated this home over the past two years. Future $18M spec starting soon on this block on lot 20% smaller!

3. Current Tax Exemptions & Statutory Limitations
Property tax bills reflect two distinct types of CAD adjustments: local taxing jurisdiction exemptions (which reduce taxable value below appraised value) and statutory appraisal limitations (which limit the annual growth of appraised value itself). Each taxing entity establishes its own exemption amounts and tax rates.
Statutory 10% limitation on annual increase in appraised value for qualifying residence homestead (Texas Tax Code § 23.23). This is an appraisal-stage limitation, not a local taxing jurisdiction exemption.
Each taxing jurisdiction may apply its own exemptions, limitations, and taxable-value adjustments. The figures shown reflect the current CAD record. Specific exemption details are displayed when available from the source. A buyer’s exemptions and future tax obligations may differ.
4. Value After CAD Reductions
This is where CAD reductions, exemptions, limitations, or special-use valuation may affect the value used for tax calculations.
CAD Market Value $12,468,410 − All Current CAD Reductions — = Current Taxed Starting Point —
Appraisal districts that do not certify a single uniform net appraised value (or where jurisdictions differ) do not establish a universal taxed starting point. Taxable values are determined per taxing entity.
5. Who Taxes It?
These are the local entities included in the current CAD/tax estimate. A property tax bill can include a city, county, school district, municipal utility district, public improvement district, or other special district. Each entity may use its own taxable value, rate, and exemption treatment.
| Entity | Taxable Value | Rate (per $100) | Est. Tax (No Ex.) | Savings | Est. Tax (Current) |

6. Estimated Tax Bottom Line
CAD Page Estimate $198,136
This estimate is reported directly by the appraisal district's current tax page. Pre-exemption and net-exemption totals are not certified as unified scalars across all taxing units. A buyer’s future tax bill may differ.
7. CAD Values Over Time
YOY Change reflects the change in CAD Market Value from the prior appraisal year. Taxed / Appraised reflects the CAD net appraised value after CAD reductions, or the certified capped appraisal value where jurisdictions differ. Individual taxing units may use different taxable values when exemptions apply.
| Year | Land | Impr. | Market | Taxed / Appraised | YOY Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | $1,705,000 | $4,820,000 | $6,525,000 | — | +$296,250 / +4.76% |
| 2022 | $2,090,000 | $5,698,940 | $7,788,940 | $7,177,500 (Cap) | +$1,263,940 / +19.37% |

8. List Price vs CAD Value
The current list price and the county’s CAD market value are not the same thing. CAD market value is used for property-tax context and may lag the open market, reflect prior protests, exemptions, caps, agricultural or special-use treatment, or other appraisal district methods.
How does the list price compare with the CAD value?
CAD values are appraisal-district values used for property-tax purposes and can differ from current asking prices and eventual sale prices.
Current List Price $8,995,000 − Current CAD Market Value $12,468,410 = Under CAD Value -$3,473,410 (-27.9%)
A sale price can become part of the appraisal district’s future evidence. A buyer’s future taxable value and tax bill may change after purchase, especially if exemptions, caps, or special-use valuation change.
For tax planning, buyers should confirm future taxable value, exemptions, and special-use treatment with the appraisal district, tax office, lender, CPA, or other qualified advisor.
