Political commentator Glenn Beck has sold his Westlake estate, which was one of the most expensive residential listings in Tarrant County. The property, located at 2224 King Fisher Drive, was purchased by Yogesh Kumar after being listed for $11.75 million on October 27, according to records from Tarrant County and Zillow. The final sale price has not been made public.

Beck originally listed the home in June for $12.5 million. At that time, it was among the top ten priciest homes on the market in Texas and was the only property from Tarrant County to make that list, based on data from the Houston Association of Realtors. No other publicly listed home in Tarrant County is currently asking more than $12.5 million, as indicated by Zillow and Redfin data.

The estate includes six bedrooms and nine bathrooms across 8,900 square feet of living space set on a 3.5-acre lot. Features include a four-car garage, gym, and a separate casita. Michael Hershenberg of The Hershenberg Group represented the listing.

Built in 2004 by Cy Barcus for golfer Brandt Jobe, the home is situated within Vaquero Club—a gated neighborhood centered around a country club golf course. According to Zillow, homes currently for sale in this area have an average asking price near $6 million.

This marks Beck’s second significant Westlake transaction this year; his legal entity Prince Whipple Trust also sold a 12-acre parcel at 4101 Aspen Lane in August to a cash buyer, according to county documents. That property had last appeared briefly on the market in 2018 with an asking price of $3.2 million.

Additionally, reports indicate that Prince Whipple Trust acquired a beachfront residence on Jupiter Island, Florida for $16.5 million earlier this year—the highest-priced home sold along Florida’s Treasure Coast during August.

In October another Vaquero Club home—1121 Post Oak Place owned by Anthony Barone—joined Texas’ top ten listings with an asking price of $11 million.

Recent trends show luxury properties across Texas are taking longer to sell or requiring significant price reductions before closing sales.
