Mike McCarthy served as the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys from 2020 through 2023, following an earlier successful tenure with the Green Bay Packers. With the Cowboys, he guided the team to multiple playoff appearances, highlighted by consecutive 12-win seasons in 2021 and 2022. Despite notable regular-season success, his teams struggled in crucial playoff moments, leading to criticism regarding clock management and situational play-calling. Ultimately, McCarthy was relieved of his duties after the 2023 season, leaving behind a mixed legacy defined by promising regular-season performances but unmet postseason expectations.
Enough about his career, let’s dive into the mansion Mike is selling. It’s an 8,346-square-foot, 5-bedroom, 7-bathroom Robert Elliott custom home, set on a 0.71-acre golf course lot in Allen’s only guarded community. Built in 2016, this estate features a chef’s kitchen with Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Miele appliances, expansive living areas, and a luxurious primary suite with soaring ceilings, freestanding tub, and dual water closets. It’s listed for $5.3 million.
A private multi-generational suite with a separate entrance and full amenities offers ideal guest accommodations. The resort-style backyard includes a pool, spa, outdoor kitchen, fire pit, putting green, and 5-car climate-controlled garage with expansion potential. Smart home features, a pet run, and proximity to top-tier amenities complete this move-in ready luxury retreat.
