Not to discount the beauty and grandeur of this listing, as it is certainly a gorgeous and impressive estate; however, "the finest estate home in America..." it is not. Possibly, it is the finest in Texas. He loses me, though, when he exaggerates to that degree. Of course, Mr. Newby is trying to sell this house, so the objectivity and level of architectural knowledge that his website would otherwise lead you to believe he possesses may be skewed a bit by his desire to make a pretty penny from the sale of this place.
