1309 N Horseshoe Drive

In an auspicious neighborhood of stately manors, this one stands apart for its 2+ acres of Old World elegance and modern luxury. Thoughtful details include artisanal wall dressings, handcrafted hardwoods and a lakeside covered terrace that runs the entire length of the property. The primary wing features a fitness suite, water views and extras such as private laundry facility and discreet library access. Everything has been elevated, from the actual elevator to top-of-the-line appliances, designer lighting and fireplaces formed from imported Icelandic volcanic stone. This list doesn’t even begin to describe what you can’t put into words: the feeling of waking up to the sunlight filtering through the oak trees, or sinking a line into the lake at dusk from your very own dock. A world away yet an easy 20mi to Downtown Houston, this princely gated estate with panoramic views benefits from the area’s attractive tax rates and superior amenities, including the nearby country club.
