“It’s just a gorgeous property, one of a kind, and it’s an hour from central Houston and River Oaks, which is our Beverly Hills,” said listing agent Nancy Almodovar, president and CEO of Nan and Company Properties, which launched a Farm & Ranch Division in August. “To be at your getaway in less than an hour is unheard of.”
This property is also luxurious and has a very modern main house, she said.
“The demographic has changed, in who is looking at ranches,” Almodovar said. Ranches used to look a certain way, with a lot of wood. This is an upscale luxury compound.”
Known as Whitehall Ranch, the southern Grimes County property is being sold furnished, she said.
The home camp was completed in 2015, according to the listing. The 4,308-square-foot main house offers an open-plan living room with living and dining spaces and the kitchen gathered around a central fireplace, high ceilings, a large porch and two bedrooms. The 1,600-square-foot guest house has two bedrooms, and the 1,600-square-foot bunk house has four bedroom suites.
The home camp also features a heated pool, a pool house with a full kitchen and a pass-through serving bar, a gym, a massage studio, a sauna and a commercial laundry room, according to the listing.
The 11-acre polo field has hosted several U.S. Polo Association matches in recent years, according to Nan and Company. There is also an 8-acre private lake on the property.
