Welcome to Roatan The Island Jewel of the Western Caribbean

T

he island of Roatán is a place few have ever seen, yet over $500 million in luxury development projects are currently under construction.

Roatán is magnificent. Clear water, great climate, lush, hilly, friendly, and modern in the ways you want in a resort destination. Indeed, Roatán is one of those few remaining places that seems untouched…and it’s a little over two hours from Texas!

Roatán, located between the islands of Útila and Guanaja, is the largest of Honduras’ Bay Islands. The island was formerly known as Ruatan and Rattan. It is approximately 60 kilometres (37 mi) long, and less than 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) across at its widest point.

The island consists of two municipalities (out of a total of four in the department): Jose Santos Guardiola in the east (named for the former president of Honduras) and Roatán (also including the Cayos Cochinos) further south in the west. The most populous town of the island is Coxen Hole, capital of Roatán municipality, located in the southwest. Other important towns include French Harbour, West End, and Oak Ridge, the capital of Jose Santos Guardiola municipality.

The easternmost quarter of the island is separated by a convoluted channel through the mangroves that is 15 meters wide on the average.

This section is called Helene, or Santa Elena in Spanish. Satellite islands at the eastern end are Morat, Barbaretta, and Pigeon Cay. Further west between French Harbour and Coxen Hole is Barefoot Cay. Known as Burial Key until 2001, Barefoot Cay now is privately owned and houses a luxury resort popular with celebrities.

Located near the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the largest barrier reef in the Caribbean Sea (second largest worldwide after Australia’s Great Barrier Reef), Roatán has become an important cruise ship and scuba diving destination in Honduras. Tourism is most important economic 6

sector, though fishing is also an important source of income for islanders.

Roatán is located within 50 minutes of LGS. The island is served by the Juan Manuel Gálvez International Airport.

HISTORY The pre-Columbian indigenous peoples of the Bay Islands are believed to have been related to Paya, Maya, Lenca or Jicaque, which were the cultures present on the mainland. Christopher Columbus on his fourth voyage (1502–1504) came to the islands as he visited the neighboring Bay Island of Guanaja. Soon after the Spanish began raiding the islands for slave labor. More devastating for Native American communities was exposure to Eurasian infectious diseases to which they had no immunity, such as smallpox and measles. Diseases ran in epidemics, and no indigenous people survived.

Throughout European colonial times, the Bay of Honduras attracted a diverse array of individual settlers, pirates, traders and military forces, engaged in various economic activities and playing out political struggles between the European powers, chiefly Britain and Spain.

Roatán and the other islands were used as frequent resting points for sea travelers. On several occasions, they were subject to military occupation. In 1723/1724 an approximately 20-year-old-man from New England, Philip Ashton, managed to survive as a castaway on the island for sixteen months until he was rescued (see Edward E. Leslie, Desperate Journeys, Abandoned Souls, 1988, pp. 100–120). During that time they were governed by self-proclaimed King Kyle Edward Chauncey, a redhaired white man leading mostly Spanish speakers among those of European descent.

In contesting with the Spanish for colonization of the Caribbean, the English occupied the Bay Islands on and off between 1550 and 1700.

During this time, buccaneers found the vacated, mostly unprotected

The 20th century saw continued population growth resulting in increasing economic changes, and environmental challenges. A population boom began with an influx of Spanish-speaking Mestizo migrants from the Honduran mainland. In the last decades they tripled the original resident population. Mestizo migrants settled primarily in the urban areas of Coxen Hole and Barrio Los Fuertes (near French Harbour). In these areas Spanish is common, with English speakers more common among descendants of early colonists, as well as in the other areas inhabited chiefly by islanders rather than former mainlanders.

islands a haven for safe harbor and transport. English, French and Dutch pirates established settlements on the islands. They frequently raided the cumbersome Spanish cargo vessels carrying gold and other treasures from the New World to Spain.

In 1797, the British defeated the Black Carib, who had been supported by the French, in a battle for control of the Windward Caribbean island of St. Vincent. Weary of their resistance to British plans for sugar plantations, the British rounded up the St. Vincent Black Carib and deported them to Roatán. The majority of Black Carib migrated to Trujillo on mainland Honduras, but a portion remained to found the community of Punta Gorda on the northern coast of Roatán. The Black Carib, whose ancestry includes Arawak and African Maroons, remained in Punta Gorda, becoming the Bay Island’s first permanent post-Columbian settlers.

They also migrated from there to parts of the northern coast of Central America, becoming the foundation of the modern-day Garífuna culture.

The majority permanent population of Roatán originated from the Cayman Islands near Jamaica. They arrived in the 1830s shortly after Britain’s abolition of slavery in 1838. The changes in labor force disrupted the economic structure of Caymanian culture. Caymanians were largely a seafaring culture and were familiar with the area from turtle fishing and other activities. Former Caymanian slaveholders were among the first to settle in the seaside locations throughout primarily western Roatán.

Former slaves also migrated from the Cayman Islands, in larger number than planters, during the late 1830s and 1840s. Altogether, the former Caymanians became the largest cultural group on the island.

But in terms of population and economic influence, the mainlander influx was dwarfed by the overwhelming tourist presence in most recent years.

Numerous American, Canadian, British, New Zealand, Australian and South African settlers and entrepreneurs engaged chiefly in the fishing industry, and later, provided the foundation for attracting the tourist trade. The rapid and dramatic demographic changes that Roatán has experienced in the 21st century has contributed to the complexity of the environmental challenges of the island.

In 1998, Roatán suffered some damage from Hurricane Mitch, temporarily paralyzing most commercial activity. Native islanders claimed the storm broke three previously undisturbed Aguila shipwrecks.

CARACOLES The Caracol people are an English-speaking people who have been established in Northern Honduras (specifically, the Bay Islands) since the early 19th century. They are chiefly of European and British-AfroCaribbean descent. Caracol is Spanish for “conch, snail or shell”, and relates the people of the Bay Islands to their unique environment and their sea-faring culture. In its current usage, the term caracol refers to all people born in the Bay Islands region, and their descendants. The region of the Bay Islands encompasses the three major islands of Roatan, Utila, and Guanaja, and the smaller islands or keys. These people are also called “Islanders,” especially locally.

Over time the form of English spoken by the Caracol has changed.

The language differs mostly in morphology but also in pronunciation and accent and, to a lesser extent, in syntax and vocabulary, from the English of the other British Caribbean colonies. They are similar enough to be mutually intelligible.

For more information, call 713-302-0555 or e-mail info@realpropertymg.com.

For a brief period in the 1850s, Britain declared the Bay Islands its colony.

Within a decade the Crown ceded the territory formally back to Honduras. British colonists were sent though, and asked William Walker, a freebooter with a private army, to help end the crisis in 1860 by invading Honduras; he was captured upon landing in Trujillo and executed there.

In the latter half of the 19th century, the island populations grew steadily and established new settlements all over Roatán and the other islands.

Settlers came from all over the world and played a part in shaping the cultural face of the island. Islanders started a fruit trade industry which became profitable. By the 1870s it was purchased by American interests, most notably the New Orleans and Bay Islands Fruit Company. Later companies, the Standard Fruit and United Fruit Companies became the foundation for modern-day fruit companies, the industry which gave Honduras the sobriquet “banana republic”.

olf, tennis, horseback riding...these recreations can be found at many resorts and even in a handful of residential communities.

But team roping?

“By far it’s the most difficult sport I’ve ever tried,” says Tom Spitsnaugle, co-founder of a website that presents training videos by world-class ropers. “With two horses, two riders and an unpredictable steer, you’ve got five brains and that means anything can happen. It happens very fast; you have to be able ride your horse and handle a rope.”

As it happens, Tom Cusick, owner and developer of the 1,000-acre Estancia gated residential community, is an avid team-roping competitor

along with friend, country recording star and Estancia homesteader George Strait. This explains the presence of a world-class equestrian center and arena on the grounds where they and friends can improve their methods. The arena’s professional quality and features such as an arena balcony, perfect for capturing shots of bucking horses and steers, persuaded Spitsnaugle – a successful Dallas businessman in an earlier life – to select Estancia as one of several arenas nationwide in which to shoot training videos and action vignettes. He and a crew of champion team ropers, Jake Barnes, Clay O’Brien Cooper, Bobby Harris, Cesar de la Cruz, Charles Pogue and Bret Beach, from throughout the United States spent several days in late October and early February shooting at the facility.

an exciting sport. The potential earnings are considerable and these cowboys expect the best in facilities and locales. Plus, they enjoy the plush, but rustic proximity of the arena’s private cantina.

Since team roping is catching on nationally and worldwide – Spitsnaugle says up to 300,000 people globally are estimated to participate in the pricey sport. – Estancia’s covered equestrian center and cedar riding ring may add to the community’s luster for adventurous homebuyers.

However, for most families, Estancia’s other recreational offerings more than meet their requirements. They seem to be everywhere you look: There’s the 400-acre private lake, Lake Estancia, stocked with bass and catfish, perfect for fishing and canoeing. There’s the 200 acres of greenbelt with 10 miles of tree-lined riding, biking and hiking trails, the football and soccer fields and the lakeside baseball diamond. The Lakeside Pavilion, with a 1,400 square foot patio and handcrafted stone fireplace, is a spectacular place for family picnics.

Wide-open spaces are perfect for Estancia’s skeet deck, perched among trees. (Help your child to excel at it – some colleges offer scholarships in the sport!) Or, you can practice your swing on the threepar golf course in preparation for play at the adjacent Resort at Tapatio Springs, which offers golf and dining memberships.

From its upper elevations, some of the highest in Kendall County, miles of rolling Hill Country terrain surround Estancia. Developer and Boerne businessman Cusick enjoyed the property with his family as part of the larger Thunder Valley Ranch he purchased in the ‘90s as a return to an

•

early family ranching tradition. In 2006 he decided to share Estancia’s lifestyle, creating a private, family-friendly, gated residential community emphasizing an active but luxurious lifestyle.

San Antonio’s premier luxury real estate company, Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty, has exclusive marketing and sales rights for the development’s 29 remaining lots, and is also working with preferred builders designing custom homes for buyers. Private architects and builders are also welcome.

Of the original 75 homes sites, the 29 remaining lots range from 3 to 25 acres in two phases. Recently sold is a 5,693 square foot custom home

by Burdick & Christofilis, originally priced at $1,795,000. Minimum home size in Estancia is 3,000 square feet.

Whether the Total Team Roping film sessions bring you to Estancia or you’re more into dropping a fishing line, please call Dudley Hays at 210.822.6880 for a private tour. More information can also be found on the Estancia website, www.EstanciaBoerne.com.

Stablewood Springs

By Doug Pike

T

he luckiest among us, at least once in our lives, wind up holding something so beautiful, so wonderful, that we feel compelled to share it with others. That is how Houston developer Tom Fatjo felt about the slice of Texas Hill Country that became Stablewood Springs Resort.

“I’m well acquainted with the Hill Country,” said Fatjo from across an expansive conference table in his Houston office. “I’ve been going there since I was 10. Went to summer camp there as a child.”

During the years that followed, Fatjo said he came in contact with hundreds of adults who, like himself, longed for some sort of child-like reconnection to that special place in their pasts.

When he bought the 540 acres within which Stablewood Springs is built, the property was earmarked as a family retreat where he, his children and their children could escape whatever weighed on their souls whenever they liked. From any of dozens of hilltops and meadows there, they could take in a deep breath of Hill Country air and let out whatever baggage needed expulsion that week or day or minute.

The more he visited the property, which in many ways reminds him southern France, Fatjo said, the more public his long-term vision for that land became. A talented team was assembled, plans were drawn, and from those rolling hills was carved a uniquely magnificent oasis.

The level of luxury to which guests of Stablewood Springs are exposed is extreme, almost excessively so and invariably beyond expectation. In this resort, Fatjo and his collaborators have created something of an adult

10

summer camp, a place where men and women – and their families – can enjoy every good thing that the Texas Hill Country has to offer.

“One of the comments I hear most from our guests is that it wasn’t what they thought it would be, that it was in so many ways more,” said Tiffany Townsend, guest services manager for Stablewood Springs. “It’s been described as having a sort of ‘mom-and-pop’ feel with luxury amenities.”

Visitors also sometimes underestimate the property’s inclusion of children, all ages, in its activities. Most anything the adults can do, within reason, children can do, as well.

Barely five years old, Stablewood Springs already has garnered national attention for its impeccable service and style. The New York Times named it Texas’ most grand resort and further heralded the place as ranking among the top 10 properties in the entire nation.

Such notoriety is no accident. Staff members at Stablewood Springs, each and all of them, are genuinely friendly and hand-picked for their ability to anticipate their guests’ needs and wants.

Although the majority of the resort’s guests come from Houston, Dallas and San Antonio, in that order, the appeal of Stablewood Springs is increasingly worldwide.

Visitors from numerous countries already have discovered and marveled at Stablewood Springs. Most were drawn here by the insistent recommendation of friends who already had hiked or golfed or dined or simply reclined on a private patio and witnessed a Hill Country sunset.

•

Classic properties International

“This is more than just another luxury property,” said Townsend. “We offer things you can’t find elsewhere, like kayaking trips down the Guadalupe River and mountain biking Texas style.”

The resort also has seven miles of hiking trails and several fishing lakes on property, and guest-access to a championship golf course nearby. And at the end of a day spent witnessing whatever the Texas Hill Country has to offer that day, guests can retreat to Stablewood Resort’s pool, which Townsend said is among the guests’ favorite places to land after whichever activity they’ve enjoyed. For some guests, lounging around the exquisite pool is activity enough to pass the day.

Something uniquely Stablewood is the ability to own a private retreat within its boundaries and, at a whim, enjoy all the property’s amenities.

In addition to pampering its guests, Stablewood Springs also includes select parcels set aside for private accommodations.

Two dozen private residences are built or nearly so, and a handful more will be built as the property continues its development. Adding to the attraction, Stablewood Springs offers its owners the opportunity to participate in a rental pool under two distinctly different options. Both are fair, and one or the other has appealed to roughly half the current owners.

“More than 8,000 families come to the Hunt (Texas) area every summer for the camps,” said Fatjo.

Now, he said, parents who make that drive to deliver their children into the care of the region’s high-end summer camps have good reason to linger for a lazy, luxurious night or two, perhaps the entire week, or to simply keep the family intact and enjoy that same time together.

Build an appetite.

Extraordinary food is made all the more so if you’ve worked up an honest hunger throughout the day.

To help with that, Stablewood Springs offers a variety of physical activities to burn calories, raise a heart rate get its guests thinking about the good food that awaits them.

The resort features dedicated hiking and running trails, an outstanding pool in which to swim until your fingers wrinkle, and several miles of mountain biking trails. Those cycling trails are designated with signage

•

as suitable for beginner, intermediate and advanced riders; rental bikes and professional instructors are available.

Additionally, resort owners and guests have playing privileges at Riverhill Country Club, a Byron Nelson-designed layout just 15 minutes down the road.

Swim. Ride a bike. Tee it up. Play like a kid all day. Then reclaim the privileges of adulthood for an exquisite meal and, if you fancy, retreat to Stablewood Springs’ spa for an evening massage.

Strictly business

There is opportunity to for a select few people who own units at Stablewood Springs to recoup some of their investments through participation in a somewhat unique rental program. Owners may select from a plan that returns 45 percent of rental revenue to them or another that guarantees them an 8 percent return. There are details involved with such creativity, of course, but both programs reflect the confidence of Fatjo and his team in the long-term future of Stablewood Springs.

Within its relatively short history, the resort has built and sold 15 units, of which nine participate in rental programs. Another nine units were under construction at the time of this writing. Contact the resort’s business office at 830-238-4646 for details on these unique offerings.

Asheville Written by Brenda Beust Smith

T

he beauty and serenity of Asheville, North Carolina, combined with its growing number of luxury properties — well-appointed, residential communities — have long made this scenic mountain region a destination for celebrity resident sightings.

Luxury homes of celebrities abound, as they have for decades.

“Empress of Soul” Gladys Knight and the incomparable Roberta Flack, comedian Steve Martin, legendary singer Warren Haynes, Night Court’s Harry Anderson, actress Andie MacDowell, banjo genius David Holt and sports commentator Bernard Goldberg are just a few of the many celebrities who have chosen to join those who can afford to live wherever they want.

And where they want — as the super-rich have for years — is to live in Asheville, North Carolina.

Chevy Chase, Colin Farrell, Sandra Oh and Tim Robbins are just a few more of the notables seen around the luxury real estate enclaves of this once-primitive outpost visited by the likes of Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett.

Surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains on all sides, Asheville’s historic presence as a destination has held strong from the days of prehistoric Indian tribes to the thousands who came to the area’s therapeutic health centers in the 1800s to this vibrant and exciting city filled with luxury estates in the this new Millennium.

Long a draw for visionaries, poets and explorers, Asheville enjoyed a boom period that resulted in rich architecture, beautifully complimented these days by elegant, luxury homes and communities promoted by knowledgeable realtors who specialize in high-end properties, such as luxury broker Beverly-Hanks & Associates.

When the established, luxury realtor firm in Western North Carolina is involved in the purchase or sale of luxury residential properties, luxury real estate buyers and sellers know they can be assured of excellence in both luxury real estate services and properties.

And no wonder. Within the Asheville area is the grand Biltmore Estate of George W. Vanderbilt, a creation by celebrated architect Richard Morris Hunt and gardens designed by the renowned landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted.

Literary giant Thomas Wolfe, an Asheville native son, grew up in “Dixieland,” his mother’s rambling boardinghouse. Wolfe used Ashville as the backdrop for “Look Homeward, Angel,” his autobiography.

Asheville stands tall in the national eye: • Good Morning America profiled Asheville as one of its “Most Beautiful Places in America” (2011) • TripAdvisor.com — Asheville is one of the “15 Destinations on the Rise” (2011) and Travelers’Choice Award for “Top Food and Wine Destination in the U.S.” (10th place) • Condé Nast Traveler’s annual Readers Choice Awards Poll ranked Grove Park Inn Resort & Spa as a “Top U.S. Resort” and the Grand Bohemian Hotel Asheville, the “Top U.S. Hotel” • Livability.com — Asheville is the “Best Place to Start a Fall Foliage Tour” (2011) • DogFriendly.com’s “Top 10 Resort Areas to Visit With Your Dog” included Asheville and the Blue Ridge Parkway as #2 in the nation.

Other-lists highlight Asheville one of “10 Fantastically Yoga-Friendly Towns,” “Top 25 Small City Arts Designations” and one of the five “Best U.S. Cities for Weight Loss.” Also highly ranked, Asheville’s Donald Rossdesigned golf course at the Grove Park Inn Resort & Spa. And . . . who else would tell you this? . . . in 2011, Asheville became a “three-peat” as Beer City, USA. The recognition of the area as a highly desirable location for luxury residential properties goes on and on says Neal Hanks, President of Beverly-Hanks & Associates. “Everyone in and around Asheville shares a secret. It’s the best part of living here, the feeling we share but can’t always express. This secret thrill hits you whenever you realize there’s a mountain out your window.”

For more than three decades, Beverly-Hanks & Associates’ mission to be Western North Carolina’s leading real estate company has remained unchanged. The firm’s success is not only echoed by legions of happy and satisfied luxury homeowners, but also by the firm’s ranking as one of the top 7 firms in the state and among the top 250 luxury real estate firms in the nation.

The Bay Islands in the Western Caribbean offer some of the most unspoiled amenities of the Caribbean. One of these islands is Roatan, where tropical forests, cloudless skies, pristine beaches and an azure ocean that is home to an amazing coral reef all combine to envelop one in a world that many would describe as paradise.

It is here on Roatan that a visionary engineer named Dan Taylor discovered the perfect locale to develop a community second to none in design and quality. Using his experience in creating projects the world over, he saw on Roatan an opportunity to build a residential development designed for those who are used to the finest things in life. Thus began the odyssey that grew into what is now known internationally as Keyhole Bay. Keyhole Bay encompasses the intimate beach in the “keyhole,” single family estate home sites, and luxury townhomes and condominiums.

Soon to take its rightful place in the master scheme is Keyhole Village, which will include a shopping mall, medical and attorneys’ offices, grocery and boutiques – anything to make the residents’ lives as easy and carefree as possible.

An Idyllic World on Roatan Island The luxury condominiums are the focal point of a private Caribbean community catering only to those who are accustomed to surrounding themselves with the finest of everything. The Condominiums at Keyhole Bay are priced from just $372,000 for a spacious one-bedroom 1,500

square foot home to just over $1 million for the elegant 3,900 square foot penthouse suite. A typical townhouse in The Condominiums at Keyhole Bay is built with only the finest-grade materials, hand-crafted inside and out, set in a sea of manicured lawns, towering trees and lush vegetation.

One of these, a two-story, 3,675 square foot seaside home, brings new meaning to the term “luxurious living.” Ensconced on the first and second floors of the nearly completed Tarvisio building, the lavish townhouse has two spacious bedrooms, with two and a half baths. On the first floor, the domed 10' x 10' entrance foyer opens into a 17' x 22' Great Room, with hand-laid travertine floors and walls ascending a full 24 feet up into the second floor loft. The Great Room continues on the outside of sliding window walls leading to a column-surrounded patio. The stateof-the-art kitchen is equipped with gleaming stainless steel appliances, hand-crafted cabinets of South American white teak, and a peninsula crowned with Spanish granite. The kitchen adjoins an expansive dining area crowned by a massive dome and bounded by massive arches.

The second floor of this picturesque townhouse continues the Keyhole Bay keystone of elegance with a 16' x 16' master bedroom that opens onto a generous 481 square foot private balcony. From here, you not only can hear the sound of the rolling ocean, you can see the cresting waves as you enjoy your morning latte.

Recently, the Chairman of Real Property Marketing Group, George Lane, visited Roatan and was thoroughly impressed with the Keyhole Bay development. Says Lane: “Rarely have I seen such care taken in the creation of a project. Dan Taylor’s painstaking efforts and commitment to quality ensure that Keyhole Bay is nothing short of first class.”

Still not convinced? There’s nothing that proves the old adage that “seeing is believing.” To experience the Keyhole Bay lifestyle, consider a visit to the relaxing island of Roatan and judge for yourself what others have already discovered – “this is the place I want to call ‘home.’”

old Beach, Oregon. This majestic 10,000+ square foot Cape Cod style home is perched gracefully atop 45 pristine forested acres with magnificent views up and down the Pacific Ocean coast as well as the famous Rogue River.

Harrison Ridge Estate delights with its close proximity to myriad outdoor activities as well as to downtown Gold Beach, a quaint tourist town located approximately 30 miles north of the California border in what is known, due to its mild climate, as “the banana belt of Oregon.”

World-class golf at Bandon Dunes Resort is about an hour’s drive north, and Gold Beach also boasts its own public golf course, Cedar Bend. World-class fishing in the Rogue River, horseback riding, surfing, kayaking, rafting, canoeing, wind surfing, clam digging, beachcombing, storm watching, whale watching, bird watching and strolling along the beach are all popular activities in the area. With a private airport two minutes away, and commercial flights available within an hour’s drive, commuting is definitely a possibility for the determined businessman.

The beauty of the great outdoors envelops you as you arrive on the property via the paved, gated winding road threading through tall fir trees to end at the impressive 8 bedroom, 8-1/2 bath Cape Cod style home. It was lovingly designed by the sellers (Gregory Harrison, an actor best known for his role as Gonzo on the TV series TRAPPER JOHN MD, and Randi Oakes Harrison, formerly an actress on the series CHIPS) who relocated from Southern California to Oregon in 1992.

Determined to raise their children in an area known for its beauty, mild climate, friendly community, outdoor

activities and healthy lifestyles, the Harrison’s have enjoyed nurturing their children in this kid-friendly yet elegant home.

With every room providing a world-class view, the home easily transcends from child-friendly warmth into a wonderful entertainment space for even the most discriminating.

The heart of the home is the large Great Room/Living Area with its high ceilings and open floor plan...connecting seamlessly to the dining area, breakfast nook, entertainment balcony and oversized kitchen (with 2 ovens, granite counter tops, island and double pantry). This all makes for flowing, workable spaces for an intimate gathering...or a party for 200. A black tie affair may have occurred on Friday night, followed by rollerblading through the living room on Saturday morning and artwork at the nook in the afternoon.

The main house also provides 6 bedrooms and 5-1/2 baths, as well as 2 offices, including the spectacular Crow’s Nest which sits at the top, above a full library.

The attached 3-car garage includes a surfer’s den, with board-rack and a tiled shower/drying room. Above the garage are two large apartments, each with private full bath. One has a separate entrance and its own kitchenette, while the other connects to the main house via the beautiful hardwood hallway.

A fully equipped gym, a flow-pool and large Jacuzzi provide in-house exercise and relaxation.

For the equestrian, the 6-stall horse barn (with hay loft, tack room and full bath) is but a short stroll away. Offered at $3,900,000.

Windy Hill Ranch Madisonville, Texas Have you thought about owning a ranch that was an easy drive from your Houston home…A place where you could go with your family and enjoy the “quiet” and actually see the stars at night…Have those cattle you’ve always wanted, count the new calves as they are born, help with the spring branding…A place you can ride your horses for hours over beautiful pastures, through creeks and old stands of trees, OR, train in a covered arena facility that is so nice you can have horse events there if you choose?

Then there is the hunting and fishing to enjoy on these almost 3,000 acres. Fish in the many stocked ponds and lakes and enjoy your own white tail deer population during hunting season.

Windy Hill Ranch offers you all of this. An easy drive from Houston to Madisonville, the access to Windy Hill is all paved highway and farm to market roads. If you love horses and love to ride, there will be no finer place than here. The covered arena facility has a 275' x 125' arena, office space, apartments, 16 stalls, holding pens for cattle―it is the finest facility in this part of Texas. There is a separate 10-stall center aisle barn with runs, numerous turn-out areas, lighted cutting pen, walker and much more.

The cattle facilities are the top-of-the-line with hydraulic trim tilt squeeze chute and 10,000# Tru-Test scales. The improved pastures allow you to run a cow/calf or stocker operation. There are four large hay storage barns to house the hay that is grown on the ranch.

At the end of the day, when that good kind of “tiredness” starts to take over, kick back on the porch or by the pool of the comfortable brick home that sits on the hilltop and appreciate the lifestyle!
