Cinemark founder Lee Roy Mitchell and his wife, Tandy, have quietly parted ways with their long-time Preston Hollow estate at 9769 Audubon Place, according to public filings. The sale was recorded on June 22. Listing pages had the French-style mansion marketed at $18 million, even as some early public paperwork showed the price as undisclosed. Sitting on roughly 3.4 acres, the property is locally famous for its 20-seat private screening room, extensive wine storage and multiple wings built for serious entertaining.
As reported by The Real Deal, the Mitchells sold the estate to the Kevin and Amanda Moore Living Trust on June 22, with public records documenting the transfer. The outlet also noted that the sellers had the property listed at $18 million when the deal ultimately came together.
Redfin shows the sale closing on June 22, with a recorded price of $18,000,000. That works out to roughly $1,255 per square foot for the approximately 14,341-square-foot estate, a figure that lines up with MLS data and the property's listing materials.
Property highlights
According to the Briggs Freeman Sotheby's International Realty listing, the Robbie Fusch-designed residence spans about 14,341 square feet, with six ensuite bedrooms, 12 bathrooms and nine fireplaces set across approximately 3.39 acres. The listing details a temperature-controlled wine cellar with capacity for more than 750 bottles, a 20-seat soundproof movie theater with commercial-grade projection and a 2,500-square-foot pavilion outfitted with a full catering kitchen.
Listing history and market context
The estate first hit the market in September 2025 with an asking price of $22 million, before the sellers trimmed that number to $18 million in early 2026. Redfin reflects the listing history and price cuts, while The Dallas Morning News offered a photo-heavy look at the property when it debuted last fall.
Industry trackers say that a transaction at or near the Mitchells' final asking price would land this deal among the priciest residential sales in the Dallas-Fort Worth region this year, a point highlighted by The Real Deal. Built in 1995, the home links designer Robbie Fusch and builder Randy Hughes, both associated with a string of high-end Dallas projects, a pedigree that tends to carry weight with Preston Hollow luxury buyers.
Public records name the buyer as the Kevin and Amanda Moore Living Trust, with no additional public details beyond the trust designation. The Redfin listing also notes Compass agent Jonathan Rosen on the deal, indicating that local brokerage representation helped steer the closing across the finish line.
