HGTV ‘Dream Home’ mastermind Jack Thomasson puts his Pasco County house on the market

Jack Thomasson, founder of Coastal Living magazine and the mastermind behind a large chunk of the HGTV Dream Homes, is selling his own sprawling Pasco County dream home.

Located in Dade City, the waterfront estate sits on 10 acres along Lake Hancock and was purchased by Thomasson and his partner in 2022 for $1.8 million, according to property records.

The 4,986-square-foot home was originally built in 1995 and has had quite a few upgrades over the last couple years. The home now comes with four bedrooms and five bathrooms, as well as a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, a chef’s kitchen with Viking appliances, a putting green, a resort style pool area, a dock, and more, says the listing.

Thomasson is arguably best known as the former home planner for HGTV’s popular Dream Home sweepstakes, where he was behind the first 20 projects between 1997-2016.

Thomasson’s Florida dream home is asking $2,999,000, and the listing agent is Erica Sumner of Florida Cracker Properties.
