The property was transformed when William (Bill) Steding built a full polo facility and the house, used as his own, until he sold it in 2016. The polo played in North Texas in the late 1980s and 1990s is the type called high-goal — polo played at the highest level and by the best players in the world — with large crowds at the Willow Bend Polo Club in Plano, where The Shops at Willow Bend mall now sits. (The Willow Bend Polo Club is in Little Elm, today.) Steding was one of the major patrons at the time and played high-goal polo at Willow Bend. Most of the polo players used polo fields and farms in the Cross Roads/Oak Point area, where they kept their horses and trained and bred them. Ken Mayer, of Mayer Ranch Polo, even played a match on Steding’s field in 1993. Ken Mayer/Mayer Ranch Polo acquired the facility from Steding (in 2016) and started further development and expansion of the property, turning it into the premier polo facility in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The United States Polo Association (USPA) has used the indoor arena for several interscholastic and Intercollegiate polo competitions, and is hosting the Texas College Polo Championship in November 2023 there, with plans to do so again in 2024. Mayer Ranch Polo is one of the cornerstones of the DFW Polo Association and Ken Mayer is its current president. By the end of 2023, there will have been 12 USPA tournaments run by this association, with most of the finals being played on the Mayer Ranch polo field. Residential Improvements: First impressions are key to a breathtaking ranch — and the Mayer Ranch Polo makes a stunning one. Driving through the beautiful, gated entrance at 1600 Historic Lane, with its lush oak-tree canopy, and up the long, 900-foot driveway to the house sets the stage. Along the way, a picturesque pond and horse pasture are on one side and a heavily wooded area is on the other. A welcoming circular drive and large covered porch announce the nearly 6,000-square-foot, custom-built home, designed in a Transitional contemporary style. The home was built in 1990 and extensively remodeled approximately five years ago. Large, custom double metal and glass doors invite you into the home, which is expansive and full of natural light — thanks to tall ceilings and the open floor plan — yet remarkably cozy, too. The home is well laid out, with various living areas both overlooking and accessing the pristine pool and patio areas. The living room, an adjacent sitting room and the dining room are at the front of the house and open to the large kitchen, den and bar. A hallway off sitting room and kitchen leads to the fitness rm.
