"We're going country on y’all, we told you we was gonna do it."
Meet one of our newest neighbors and Washington County resident, Drake.
“I know they said 10 horses belong to the property."
Horses, 313 acres, a 14,300 square foot main building, three stocked ponds, pools, an organic farm, just to name a few of the amenities in Drake’s new $15 million property in Washington County, Texas.
“We had 27 or so showings in 60 days on this property. It was exhausting, but it worked and it paid off.”
Tonya Currie is the realtor who managed this listing. She says, because it was such a unique and beautiful property, it didn’t take long until it was swooped off the market. And yes, she did get to meet the buyer.
“These type of properties, you have to be there on site and you have to accompany, and you have to give them all of the information, which it's, you know, on these, I think there were over 30 structures and improvements on this property.”
This property used to be one of the only five-star Forbes rated restaurants in Texas, before shutting down for Covid in 2020.
“It was really just a beautiful, just a beautiful destination. We went there on our 24th wedding anniversary, so we have a special place in our heart for that, Dos Brisas, let me tell you.
"And now it's going to be Drake's new property.”
“And now it's going to be Drake's new property, and we're actually so sad. We were hoping that somebody would buy it and, you know, reopen it, but I don't blame them. It's an amazing place, and it's absolutely gorgeous.”
Tracy Gremillion is another local real estate agent with a more sentimental tie to the property. But both agents say the real estate market in the area is booming.
“You have a slower pace of life. You have more enjoyment…but you also have a good proximity to amenities that you need, shopping, restaurants, hospitals,” Gremillion said.
“It's a good place to be. I think we're set in a really, really good area for, for growth and continued growth for sure,” Currie said.
