- By Lisa Zapalac

Located 30 miles from Houston is this 64-acre ranch that features a large main residence and guest house, an equestrian center and sports complex, three swimming pools, two lakes, a 10-car showroom, and abundant deer and wildlife.

Listing agent Conn Trussell of John Daugherty, Realtors said the luxurious leisure ranch is has a resort environmen­t and is a paradise with exquisite scenery.

An arrival court with a bronze equestrian statue and reception portico welcomes visitors to the secluded, contempora­ry residence flanked by two lakes. Inside, the salon offers seating for casual or formal gatherings with 25-foot ceilings and white marble floors, and a glassenclo­sed, temperatur­econtrolle­d wine room.

The large formal dining area has expansive windows with views of the grounds and lake. Located off the dining room is a fully equipped kitchen.

Just off the salon is the car collector’s showcase garage that includes two seating areas.

Lounge seating for 15 is featured in the home theater that also has a full-service stainless-steel bar, popcorn machine and state-of-the-art electronic­s. Located in the more private wing of the residence is the den with a fireplace and wood walls.

The casual dining area overlookin­g the lake and grounds features a unique “art piece” chandelier, and the huge island kitchen with custom wood cabinetry has two of everything — two stoves, two Sub-Zeros, two dishwasher­s and two stainless-steel sinks.

The private family den is in the private bedroom wing of the home and showcases a wall of French windows and custom wood shelves.

The only upstairs bedroom in the residence showcases two beds, a wall of built-ins and multiple seating areas.

The enormous master suite has a spacious separate sitting room with marble floors, custom wall coverings and curtains, and beautiful views. The master bath has a glass shower, two vanity basin stations, views of a private wall garden and two custom fitted closets. Adjacent to the master bath is a full exercise room with two television­s. Outside, there is a competitio­n-length private lap pool for the master suite. The pool is surrounded with a sun deck and view of the equestrian arena.

Next to the pool is a large covered veranda with two ceiling fans and furnishing­s for entertaini­ng. The veranda can be accessed from the pool terrace or from the private living quarters of the home.

The guest house is a separate structure from the main residence and offers full accommoda- tions for an overnight or extended stay.

The guest house includes an open living/dining area, a fully equipped kitchen with granite countertop­s, wine chiller and stainlesss­teel sink, a guest bedroom that sleeps four and includes a sitting area, an entertainm­ent wall with a flat-screen television and front-facing views; and a bath with a large Jacuzzi tub, a shower, a vanity with two basins and marble floors.
