Jacque Evans says she and her ex-husband, businessman Gary Evans, spent 3½ years building this estate in Flower Mound Texas. Built in the style of a French château, it was completed in 2007.

Ms. Evans and her ex-husband paid about $3.7 million for the property in April 2001, according to public records. Mr. Evans is the CEO of Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation, a Houston-based oil-and-gas drilling and exploratory company. Photo: Rogers Healy and Associates  The home measures 19,337 square feet.

'I wanted it to be a home, not just a big house. Each room has its intimate space.'

While Ms. Evans and her ex-husband previously had full-time caretakers on the property, she now manages the estate herself. Since divorcing about 4½ years ago, Ms. Evans says she lives on there with other women she brings in who need a place to live. One woman currently lives in the caretaker's house with her son; another lives in the guest house with her daughter; and a third lives in the main house with Ms. Evans. Photo: Rogers Healy and Associates  'The women pay me what they can,' Ms. Evans says, noting that she is now selling because the property requires too much upkeep. Ms. Evans, recently engaged, also adds that her fiancé would like to get a place for the two of them. The property is listed for $19.9 million. Photo: Rogers Healy and Associates
