This is a RARE opportunity to own a magnificent 5000+ home square feet in the exclusive enclave of Royal Lakes Estate in Richmond, TX, for a fraction of retail price. 8930 Water Crest Trail rests on a 1+ acre waterfront lot with private pool. The interior of the home has a magnificent layout with primary en-suite down, office, soaring ceilings in the formal living, adjoining dining, chef’s kitchen opening into the family room area and formal study. Upstairs, 4 more large bedrooms, a HUGE media room, large game room and bathrooms leave plenty of space for residents and guests alike. New roof in 2023. Royal Lakes Estates is an exclusive acreage community with great proximity to freeways, shopping, and entertainment. A little bit of TLC is needed to bring this home back to its true glory. New construction does NOT compete with this spectacular statement home. Showings are on a very limited basis - please call for details.

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 noticeThe §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.
