An extraordinary opportunity to create a private estate on over 1.5 acres in the prestigious Shadow Wood enclave of Spring Branch. Tucked away within the Beltway, this rare oversized homesite is introduced by an impressive circular drive and enveloped by towering mature pines, offering a sense of serenity and seclusion that is increasingly hard to find in such a prime location. The expansive grounds provide the perfect canvas to design and build a custom residence tailored to your vision. A guest house structure is already positioned at the rear of the property, presenting the opportunity for a future guest retreat, studio, or pool house. Ideally situated just moments from Haden Park and surrounded by custom homes, this property combines privacy, scale, and location — a truly distinctive offering in one of Spring Branch’s most desirable neighborhoods.
Rare opportunity to build on over an acre and half of land in the highly desired neighborhood of Shadow Wood in Spring Branch. You're welcomed onto this oversized lot by it's long circle drive you can't help but feel the difference when surrounded by mature pines that provide you the privacy that's hard to come by within the belt. There is a shell of a guest home in the rear ready to be finished out. Haden Park project a 1/4 mile away to begin in the next few months. Plans for a 6500 sf home are available upon request.

Highly desired neighborhood of Shadow Wood. This lot is over an acre and a half with pool, renovated ranch style home, detached garage and guest home with initial finishes but yet to be completed. Once you enter the circle driveway with established trees and greenery you will notice that this one feels different! Privacy, space, and charm on this oversized lot with options to build, add-on, or convert space is truly unique in the big city. Just a stone's throw to Memorial City retail and restaurants with a quick commute to downtown and all the conveniences in the city. Original home has been thoughtfully renovated and has options to add more bedrooms if buyer wishes instead of the large entertaining space it currently offers. Horses allowed.
