SHERMAN, Texas — Editor's note: The article was originally published by the Dallas Business Journal here.
Massive growth that encompasses billions of dollars in investment and thousands of new jobs is slated to hit Sherman, the county seat of Grayson County, over the next decade.
And while there are thousands of homes underway in and around the community 75 miles to the north of Dallas, there's one sprawling luxury home that has hit the market.
The French-inspired home at 233 Woodland Hills Drive sits within a gated community, resting within a 5.63-acre enclave.
At 9,780 square feet, the house includes five bedrooms and eight bathrooms. Architectural features incorporate colonnades Corinthian columns and ceilings with groin vaults and domes.
Other special amenities include a two-story living room, sauna, wine cellar and Harley Davidson-themed special garage area.

The mansion is not scarce on details. Attention has been paid to the selection of ornate railings, imported doors, luxe chandeliers, intricate millwork, stained glass and panelling.
The rolling acreage is zoned for two horses, as well.
Ota Vozeh and Leigh Calvert of Briggs Freeman Sotheby's International Realty are the listing agents for the property, which was built in 2004 and is being marketed for $3.2 million.
While Sherman is set to experience sizable growth in the coming years, the community is dead-set on maintaining its character.
"There are things that the folks here enjoy and like, and using planned development ordinances and things like that we can welcome these new neighborhoods in, and while they each have their own identity and features that make them unique, our city as a whole benefits because the core places of our community still remain the same," said Sherman Mayor David Plyler in an interview with Dallas Business Journal in late February.
"It's really a good way to ease into larger growth without causing a lot of disruptions in our older neighborhoods," Mayor Plyler added at the time.
