Businessman Bobby Haas is selling his neighborhood mansion for $27.5 million

One of Preston Hollow’s most prominent businessmen is selling his mansion on Jourdan Way, yet it hasn’t received much attention. 

Bobby Haas’ French Renaissance estate was built in 1999 on a private lake. Now Allie Beth Allman is listing the 18,691-square-foot home, which has seven bedrooms, 14 fireplaces and an elevator, for $27.5 million.

Bobby Haas and Tom Hicks formed Hicks & Haas — known for merging Dr Pepper and 7 Up — in the 1980s. Hicks became a household name after owning the Dallas Stars and Texas Rangers. When his estate went on the market, there was a media frenzy about the $100-million property.

Haas, though, has kept a relatively low profile. Even his house is somewhat secretive, hidden among giant trees.

“It’s harder to hit a crouching target,” he told the Dallas Morning News’ Alan Peppard.
