Must SeeTop 10 Florida Condos For Sale

Ryan O’Neal and Jacqueline Bisset were the stars of the 1973 hit movie, "The Thief Who Came To Dinner" about a Texas computer programmer and Houston socialite who team up as glamorous jewel thieves. Much of the movie was filmed at this equally glamorous and dazzling Houston mansion.

Long before Gene Van Dyke created this amazing Houston, Texas estate, he found himself fortified with a college degree in geological engineering, but had not the slightest interest in acquiring a nice steady job. At a time when society was all about post war comforts and conventional thinking, Van Dyke set out with a vision and the entrepreneurial spirit to explore for new oil fields. He began in 1951 as an independent producer based out of Wichita Falls. From 1958 to 1962, he worked the Texas coast, then went to explore southern Louisiana, discovering the important West Lake Arthur Field in 1968. In 1973, he began devoting all his exploration to international offshore in the North Atlantic with significant oil and gas discoveries off The Netherlands. Never idle, in 1996 his lust for adventure took him south to a new frontier, deepwater West Africa. Within three years, his company became a leading license holder offshore of eight African countries. In 1999, the Houston Geological Society named Gene Van Dyke a "Living Legend in Wildcatting."

Amazing men might be quite bored in a home that wasn’t also amazing. This must have been the case of the Van Dyke family home that is now for sale in Houston. Located on 2.8 very private acres, the 11,737 square foot home is spacious with a layout and flow perfect for entertaining in the well-appointed formal rooms or for quiet, private times luxuriating in deep comfort. With three bedrooms and nine baths, the master suite is a great getaway with a sitting room, large his-and-her baths and views over the pools and treetops. The outside is even better. Water everywhere: pools, waterfalls, pool island with trees; pools in shade, pools in sunshine and a small lake. Play, daydream, entertain? Just pick, it’s all here. Tennis, swimming (in possibly the largest private pool in the U.S.) or paddle boating around the small lake with its overhanging vegetation. Entertaining any size group is made easy in the large tennis court pavillion with its bar and orchestra stage, also with outdoor kitchen, spa and guest house.

Van Dyke's Houston home has one of the largest private pools in the U.S., full size lighted tennis court with viewing stands and party pavilion with bar and stage for orchestra. Asking $14.5 million. It’s no accident that "The Thief Who Came to Dinner" with Ryan O’Neal and Jacqueline Bisset was filmed in this magical setting. Asking $14.5 million. For more information.
