Welcome to this luxurious estate - a rare find that combines elegance and serenity as well as room to breath - all in the heart of Katy. 
Some describe it as a Legacy Home... it's easy to see why.
The Great Room sets the tone for the entire house. It's accented not only by the oversized chandelier, but also by the exposed wood beams that adorn cathedral ceiling and floor-to-ceiling Texas-Style limestone fireplace. Let the outdoors in, by drawing the curtains on the wall of windows overlooking this amazing piece of property!
Need a little elbow room? 12 acres of pure relaxation! Your own Bass-stocked lake and a barn for all your toys and animals.
Expecting guests? No problem when it comes to parking. In fact, there are 2 porte-cocheres. 
From the minute you step in, the quality and attention to detail is undeniable - starting with the custom French doors to the custom oiled finished, hand-scraped solid Hickory floors... low maintenance and installed by Schenk & Co. out of Houston.
The impressive foyer pulls you into either the Great Room or formal dining room. Spacious and clean.
Another angle of the Great Room - lots of light and so airy.
Stay warm on those cold mornings with this real Brick & Mortar w/Stacked Limestone fireplace and mantel... floor to ceiling and this one actually warms the room! Gas starter to boot!
Elegance and charm describes the formal dining room. And large enough for a much bigger set if needed.
The dining room gives easy access to both the Great Room as well as the kitchen area.
This angle gives good perspective on the size of this room. The doors and transom windows are a great touch to both of the two formals at the from of the home.
Just off the Great Room and leading into the kitchen is the beverage bar. Built-in wine fridge and so convenient for morning coffee and drink preparation for your guests. 
From the Beverage bar to the kitchen... The quality continues here with Calacatta Gold Marble countertops & Custom cabinetry. This is where the magic happens.
Welcome to the Chef's kitchen... well appointed and plenty of room for guests because, where do people gather?
Need to cook a feast? No problem here with your very own Wolf® 6-burner Gas Range with Infrared Grill and Double Oven! 
Another view from the Beverage Bar. Some tall tales will probably be told from this very spot.
A view of the kitchen from the den. Notice the Tongue & Groove Cypress Wood ceiling inlay and built-in refrigerator.
A view of the breakfast room that opens to the den and just around the corner from the kitchen shows the versatility of this space.
The breakfast room features the same Tongue & Groove Cypress Wood Ceiling Inlays as well as lots of natural light AND plenty of room for a breakfast table!
This is the Den. Ample space for family gatherings and open to the kitchen makes this room a memory maker.
Another angle of the den shows the true size of this great space. Look at all of the natural light from the wall of windows. Most of the property is visible from this room which give a great sense of privacy and serenity.
Cozy and comfy describes the den with a gas log fireplace and a wall big enough for a gigantice TV! 
The quiet and secluded study offers solice when needed and has a nice view of the drive and porte-cochere.
Enter the Master Suite... from the gorgeous hand-scraped Hickory floors to the Chicago brick accent wall, this room is both relaxing as well as spacious. And, an amazing view that gives you a whole new perspective every morning when you wake up. 
Another angle of the Master Suite. 
The ensuite Master Bath offers tons of counter space and features tall ceilings as well as the same custom cabinetry as the kitchen with 100% Solid Maple drawer boxes with Dovetail joinery and Solid Maple drawer and cabinet door frames. 
The walk-in spa-like shower offers plenty of elbow room as well as 2 heads and a body-sprayer/wand. No shower curtain or glass to clean up and yet totally private.
A beautiful view and a window seat are the highlight of this bedoom.
One of 3 full baths, this one features a unique vanity and fixtures. The door to the outside is very convenient for access to the backyard.
Another spacious bedroom with a window seat.
Luxurious stone counter tops and a clerestory window make this Jack and Jill bath light and bright.
Imagine lounging in the widow seat reading a book and gazing at the green pastures. This room would make any family member or guest happy.
The 2nd vanity of the Jack and Jill bath is also clean and bright with stone counters and lots of space.
Perfect for the kids, grandkids and guests. This Den/Gameroom is a great place to watch a movie or play games.
The Utility room features a built in ironing board, lots of cabinets and space for folding and hanging clothes.
Get stuff done... the Livestock and Equipment Barn is versatile and every man's dream come true. Check it out!
Inside the barn, features 2 Livestock Stalls, 1 Open Tool Stall and 1 Tack/Storage Room as well as a Mechanical/Equipment and storage area.
The side with the 2 Livestock Stalls.
Here is the Mechanical/Equipment area with 5 x 8 island workbench and storage cabinets.
Another angle of the 5 x 8 island workbench and storage cabinets.

A little slice of Heaven in the Heart of Katy.
Wet a line or just sit back and relax while the sun sets in the west.
This little stone pathway leads the way from the house to the lake. Grab your poll!
It's really hard to believe that the road that leads here, is not miles away in the country.
