Car lovers of Texas, your dream home just hit the market. Dennis Collins, star of hit reality show Fast ‘n Loud about the Gas Monkey Garage in Dallas, recently put his two-acre retreat in Murphy, Texas up for sale. Don’t be fooled by its secluded location,19 Maxwell Lane isn’t any old country house.

The compound includes a sprawling ranch house, a guest wing, a resort-like backyard, and the car collector’s ultimate dream garage.

The freestanding, two building garage complex was a necessary amenity for Collins, who is an avid collector himself. The mega garage made several appearances on the show, and features special lighting to make beautiful cars look even more photogenic. In addition to space to store 20-plus cars, the climate-controlled garage also includes a large workshop and sound system.

But that’s just one of the home’s many jaw-dropping details.

There’s also a well-lit private baseball diamond that can double as a helicopter pad, a fenced dog run, and world-class outdoor facilities. The yard includes a professional sound system, a double-sized country club pool in a unique V shape, a fire pit and double-sided fireplace, and a fountain that converts to a hot tub for 16.

The house itself isn’t too shabby, either. The 7,964-square-foot home has a gourmet kitchen, three bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths, and a guest wing with its own kitchen and living room, plus one-and-a-half baths and one bedroom.
