Overview

§ 01

Step back in time with this one-of-a-kind historic estate built in 1875 and set on over 60 beautiful, fully fenced acres. Enter through the iron gate and follow the picturesque oak-lined driveway to a 4–6 bedroom, 5½ bath home offering unforgettable views from every room. Timeless character shines through original wood floors, shiplap, beadboard accents, exposed beams, and classic clawfoot tubs. The vibrant kitchen features a stunning picture window overlooking the 3.5-acre pond. Designed for relaxation and entertainment, enjoy multiple outdoor living areas, an equestrian area, new barn plus vintage barn, white picket fenced garden and 2 gazebos—one with an imported Italian pizza oven and the other with a gas fireplace. Fish, swim (yes, there’s a diving board!), gather by the campfire, and take in seasonal wildflowers and peaceful birdsong. With an agricultural exemption in place and endless opportunities to enjoy country living, this remarkable property is truly the total package.

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.
