This estate, located at 3980 Inverness Drive in River Oaks, is on a 45,136square-foot lot in the exclusive subdivisio­n of Tall Timbers. Century-old trees populate the 1-plusacre estate that is crisscross­ed by natural paths and bordered in the rear by a serpentine stonelined ravine.

The house, built in 1996 by Rudolph Colby and updated in 2018 by Pamela Pierce, is tucked into a natural landscape.

Inside, high ceilings and an abundance of windows and glass doors fill the house with natural light, and large expanses of wall space provide space for art installati­ons.

In the kitchen, a culinary center is outfitted with new profession­algrade appliances and Calacatta marble island. The kitchen, which opens to the family room, also includes an island without a cooktop, a walk-in pantry, pot and pan drawers, a second sink, soft-closing drawers, and under-cabinet lighting.

Other interior features include two staircases, an owned alarm system, balcony, drapes/curtains/ window cover, fire/smoke alarm, formal entry/foyer, included refrigerat­or and washer, wet bar and sound wiring.
