Overview

§ 01

Offered at lot value, a rare opportunity to acquire a gated legacy estate in the prestigious Rivercrest Addition, encompassing approximately 3.6 acres per survey. Exceptionally private and heavily wooded, the property features a private lake, private well, whole-home generator, and horse stables with pasture, all set among expansive grounds. The existing, mostly single-story home offers beautiful views over the private lake and charming finishes, with the option to live in the current residence or build new on this expansive lot. An extraordinary setting to create a private compound with a primary residence, guest house, staff quarters, garages, additional outbuildings, tennis court, pool, or other custom amenities limited only by vision. For the buyer seeking greater scale, the adjoining 26 W. Rivercrest (MLS# 24159995) may also be purchased, creating a combined estate of more than 7.3 acres. A truly rare Rivercrest offering of acreage, serenity, and potential.

MUD Disclosure (§49.452)

§ 03 · Data moat
● §49.452 Notice
Not in archive
This MUD is not yet in our §49.452 archive. We'll add it on request.

Texas Water Code §49.452 requires districts to publish annual notices with tax rate, bonded indebtedness, and assessed value. Most Harris-area MUDs publish these; a handful managed by Inframark do not.

Request this notice
● What this tells you

The §49.452 notice is the only public document that lists a MUD's exact tax rate, outstanding bond debt, and the assessed value used to compute your taxes — direct from the district, not the MLS. If the district is newer or has more bonds outstanding than its neighbors, your effective tax rate will be higher here than just across the street.
