Briscoe Manor event, wedding venue to auction via Concierge Auctions

-

An opportunit­y to own a piece of Texas history, this 47.5-acre estate offering pecan and oak trees and a lake setting has been in the Briscoe family since 1835, and will auction in November via Concierge Auctions in cooperatio­n with Rick Doak of Republic Ranches. Currently listed for $13.5 million, the property will sell with no reserve to the highest bidder. Bidding is scheduled to be held Nov. 12-17 via Concierge Auctions’ online marketplac­e, ConciergeA­uctions.com, allowing buyers to bid digitally from anywhere in the world.

Since 2006, the property has been home to the elegant Briscoe Manor, one of the Houston area’s premiere wedding and event venues. Past the entrance and private tree-lined drive sits the limestone Briscoe Chapel, lush courtyard, and a refined grand ballroom, all providing an ideal backdrop for any event.

Interior spaces feature a rustic yet elegant aesthetic that evokes the natural setting, including high wood ceilings, chandelier­s, stone walls, and French doors. The property is well suited for the next owners to continue the thriving wedding and event business, or to further develop the grounds as a church, private school, distillery, brewery, corporate headquarte­rs, music venue, or a multitude of other options.

Briscoe Manor, one of west Houston’s premiere wedding and event venues, is only 30 minutes from downtown Houston with access to two major airports and is driving distance from Austin and San Antonio. As the west Houston area continues to be one of the fastest-growing areas in Texas, Briscoe Manor has an ideal location for a thriving business in a natural setting, and offers investment opportunit­ies.

Briscoe Manor is available for showings Tuesday-Friday from 1-4 p.m. and by appointmen­t.
