Dennis Quaid Buys in Austin2518 Matthews Dr, Austin, TX 78703Dennis Quaid has purchased a lakefront home with a helipad in Austin, Texas, for $8.5 million. The property is a one of a kind Austin, Texas, Landmark
Waterfront Estate. Inspired by the charming neighborhood (Tarrytown), convenient
location and the water, it is a multi-level home with unforgettable views
from nearly every room. Owned by same family since 1970 and remodeled
in 2007 using the finest finishes and materials. Extras include beach
and rock waterfall, FAA approved Heli-Pad, lake house, boat dock, pool,
outdoor fireplace, wine room, secured vault, and over 100 ft. of
waterfront.
The actor has said in the past that he and his wife want to raise their children in her hometown of Austin. The home measures about 12,500 square feet and sits on nearly half an acre, according to public records. Photographs show a fountain in the driveway and a pool. Earlier this month, Mr. Quaid put his eight-bedroom, nine-bath home on two acres in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Pacific Palisades on the market for $16.9 million. Kathrin Nicholson of Westside Estate Agency has that listing.
