5 Luxury Texas Estates from Acreage Retreats to Waterfront Living

Set on a private 123-acre estate in Huntsville, this Arkansas-stone and reclaimed-wood residence balances refined craftsmanship with true ranch functionality. Inside, wood floors, custom cabinetry, and six fireplaces create a warm backdrop for everyday living, while a Creston system, surround sound, a new theater, tech-shield attic, high-efficiency HVAC, and a security system support modern ease. Outdoor life unfolds across 2,500 square feet of covered areas, including a patio finished with tongue-and-groove ceilings, stamped concrete, and travertine flooring, plus an upstairs patio, saltwater pool, and outdoor kitchen designed for long, unhurried gatherings. Equestrian amenities are equally considered: a pipe-fenced arena and an 11,000-square-foot barn with eight stalls, turnouts, tack room, automatic waterers, and an attached guest house. Beyond, 78 acres of hayfields and hunting complete the landscape.

Beyond private gates on 11.91± acres in Tomball, this estate balances everyday comfort with easy entertaining. The residence offers four bedrooms and 4.1 baths, with secondary bedrooms thoughtfully paired with private baths. At the center, a chef-inspired kitchen is outfitted with stainless steel appliances, double ovens, a pot filler, an extra ice maker, abundant custom cabinetry, and a large walk-in pantry. The primary suite reads as a true retreat, anchored by a dramatic double-sided fireplace shared with a spa-like bath, plus an oversized walk-in closet with washer/dryer hookups. A game room with bar area opens to a balcony overlooking the serene acreage, while a private media room and a dedicated workout room—plus flex space with an attached workroom—round out the interiors. Outside, a private pool and hot tub extend the daily rhythm into the landscape.

Originally built in 1875, this historic estate unfolds across more than 60 fully fenced acres behind an iron gate and a picturesque, oak-lined driveway. Inside, timeless character sets the tone: original wood floors, shiplap and beadboard accents, exposed beams, and classic clawfoot tubs. The 4–6 bedroom, 5 1/2 bath layout is paired with unforgettable views from every room, while the kitchen centers daily life around a vivid picture window overlooking a crystal-clear 3.5-acre pond. Outdoors, multiple living areas invite long, unhurried afternoons, from two gazebos—one with a pizza oven imported from Italy, the other with a gas fireplace—to a campfire gathering spot. An equestrian area, plus one new barn and one vintage barn, complement a white picket–fenced garden/orchard. With fishing, swimming, and even a diving board, the pond becomes a true centerpiece for year-round country living in Bellville.

Along the water’s edge in Evia, this custom-built residence balances craftsmanship with daily ease. An expansive front porch leads to a grand entry, where a bricked arched opening frames the living and dining areas and a gourmet kitchen designed for serious cooking. Custom cabinetry, an island with sink, honed Carrera marble counters, and Thermador appliances—including a gas range/oven and wall oven—set a refined tone, complemented by two vegetable refrigerators beside a dedicated vegetable sink. The primary suite on the main level is thoughtfully composed with a brick wall detail, separate his-and-her bath areas, a large walk-in shower, soaking tub, vanity area, and a grand walk-in closet with built-ins. Upstairs, a den/family room with built-ins and a wet bar anchors three additional bedrooms and two baths. An elevator, full-house generator, and pergola with waterfall feature round out a life well appointed.
