An enchanting estate situated on over 1.87+ acres of gated grounds offering a remarkable opportunity to restore the existing structure or develop the estate of your dreams. Reminiscent of an English manor, the existing 4-Bedroom main house is to be sold "as is, where is" and offers serene views of the cascading topography and natural bayou border with protective bulkhead beyond. Auxiliary dwellings consist of a ground-level Guest Cottage, a poolside Cabana with changing room and bath, and a four-car Garage accessible via a covered breezeway with two 1-Bedroom Guest Apartments above. Circular driveway with additional off-street parking leads to a separately gated motor court with security station. The adjacent neighboring property at 6 Shadder Way is also available for purchase offering an additional 2.53 acres creating a unique opportunity to acquire a combined total of 4.4 acres of prime River Oaks property (all per HCAD).
