About This Property

An extraordinary legacy estate set along the bayou in prestigious Rivercrest, where historic craftsmanship meets modern engineering. Nestled among 65+ preserved mature trees, this private sanctuary offers a setting that feels worlds away from Houston. Originally built in the 1950s and meticulously enhanced over decades, the residence showcases handcrafted brickwork, artisan ironwork, imported materials, custom millwork, premium Andersen windows, and museum-quality finishes throughout. Engineered for resilience, the property remained dry during Hurricane Harvey and features extensive drainage infrastructure, dual city & well water systems, three-phase power, advanced security, irrigation, and backup systems. Resort-style grounds include cascading water features, rose gardens, an orchid house, gazebos, and curated landscaping. Luxury amenities include a catering kitchen, climate-controlled service areas, multiple entertaining spaces, and future expansion potential.
