Rustic Manor (Main House): Rustic Manor features 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, providing plenty of space and comfort. At the heart of the home is a charming ranch-style kitchen, complete with a breakfast bar island and barstool seating, seamlessly connecting to the living and dining areas. Plantation shutters throughout the home invite an abundance of natural light, while double French doors open to the outdoor patio and pool area, creating a perfect blend of indoor and outdoor living.

The TEXAS-Sized primary suite features a king-size bed, 65” TV, and impressive walk-in closet with custom-built shelving and varied hanging heights. The en-suite bathroom blends convenience with luxury, featuring a combined tub and shower, dual vanities with sinks for him and her, and a freestanding glass-enclosed shower outfitted with his-and-her showerheads and an additional rainfall showerhead for a spa-like experience. The secondary is magnificent in both size & style with a queen-size bed, walk-in closet, a 50” TV and en-suite bathroom. The third bedroom has a queen-size bed, and walk-in closet. There are two full-size mattresses and a 50” TV in the bunkbed bedroom. The living room area has a queen-size sleeper sofa and a full-size sleeper sofa. Rustic Manor comfortably sleeps 14.

The over-sized utility room with laundry, folding table, hanging rod, large basin sink, and custom cabinetry, provides our guests with convenient storage, helping larger groups with efficiency and organization during their stay. This room also has a half-bath and private door to the pool area, which enables pool users to keep water in its designated place and out of the main house.

Western films have long romanticized the quintessential American way of life with their tales of fearless cowboys, horseback adventures, and homes on the range—and for good reason. When designing Rustic Manor, we drew inspiration from local artisan Gray Moore, a renowned photographer for the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo and the visionary behind some of its most iconic imagery. As the Creative and Special Projects Director of the Harris County Houston Sports Authority, Gray has had the freedom to explore new creative frontiers. His work seamlessly elevates ranch life, blending timeless country charm with a relaxed, cosmopolitan flair enriched by farming and ranch-style influences.

The outdoor space is a welcoming retreat, whether lounging poolside or sharing moments with loved ones. The freestanding hot tub and tanning ledge, complete with a cooling spray deck and a Baja shelf, create a chic, resort-like ambiance. The backyard’s covered patio and pool area promises endless hours of relaxation and enjoyment. Grill and chill with the marble makeready grill-side table, stainless-steel gas grill, and a cozy fire pit. In the evening, gather around the fire pit for storytelling, s’mores, and stargazing under a blanket of stars. String lighting elegantly spans the expansive patio, enhancing its charm and illuminating a mix of seating, lounge, and dining furniture. This inviting space offers the perfect setting to relax and savor breathtaking sunsets over a picturesque pasture, home to a herd of tenacious Longhorns. These Texas icons are visual art with their flashy multihued hides and impressive headgear.
