THE LODGE AT​ HUNTERS CREEK

A SETTING LIKE​ NO OTHER​

Hidden at the tip of a heavily wooded peninsula, the Lodge at Hunters Creek commands nearly 9 acres of park‑like grounds wrapped by the gentle currents of buffalo bayou. A private, 24‑hour staffed gatehouse marks the entrance, ensuring complete seclusion on one of Houston’s most coveted lanes. ​

Winding gravel drives, azalea‑lined pathways, and canopies of mature oaks usher residents toward a sanctuary where every vista feels borrowed from an American landscape painting.

BUILT TO​ ENDURE CENTURIES

​Where many contemporary estates surrender to timber frames and delicate veneers, this residence embraces the permanence of a Roman villa and then dares to exceed it with modern ingenuity. ​

​At its core lies a red‑iron steel superstructure, an intricate lattice of corrosion‑resistant beams whose skyscraper pedigree grants the manor an unwavering fortitude against fire, pests, and tempestuous weather while permitting soaring, column‑free halls.​

Encasing this formidable skeleton, great courses of Indiana limestone, quarried from the same storied source that lent its strength to the Empire State Building, the Biltmore Estate, and the Pentagon—rise in rhythmic, hand‑chiseled harmony.

THE GRAND MANOR​
22 000 SQ FT · 6 BED · 8 BATH

Completed in 2005, the principal residence unites the muscular arches of Richardsonian Romanesque design with the poised symmetry of an English manor, its towering turrets and sweeping limestone arcades framing ever‑shifting tableaux of bayou, gardens, and distant skyline. An arrival court of sculpted gravel unfurls before a glass‑front showroom where more than five prized automobiles may repose beneath museum lighting, an unmistakable testament to unparalleled connoisseurship.​

​Every keystone, arch, and cornice has been lovingly sculpted by the master artisans of Bybee Stone Company, their multi‑generational craft evident in each subtle curve and crisp arris. No veneers soften these lines; no cladding conceals their truth. Instead, enduring stone and uncompromising steel stand in concert, engineered with an excellence destined to transcend centuries.

Beyond the bronze‑and‑glass pivot door, a limestone grand hall—bathed in natural light cascading from clerestory windows ushers guests toward a two‑story library crowned by a barrel‑vaulted ceiling and wrought‑iron mezzanine, a sanctuary for scholarship and quiet reflection.​

Nearby, a chef’s constellation of kitchens, five in total includes a restaurant‑grade galley, a vast island of book‑matched marble, and a commercial walk‑in cooler that stands ready for fêtes of any scale. ​

A sky‑lit glass elevator glides with hushed precision between floors, and everywhere impeccable craftsmanship reveals itself: in mahogany paneling polished to a satin glow, in stone thresholds aligned to the width of a single grain of sand. ​

The primary suite, sequestered in its own bayou‑facing wing, gathers the first blush of dawn upon hand‑finished ceilings and, at evening, captures the distant shimmer of downtown Houston as if framed within a jeweler’s loupe.

CURATED​ INTERIORS

Step inside and discover a private museum of global provenance: Bronze chandeliers reclaimed from Parisian hôtels particuliers; fireplaces painstakingly disassembled in Europe and re‑assembled, stone by stone, on site; a spiraling iron staircase that doubles as sculpture; artisanal millwork in African mahogany, book‑matched marble floors, and acoustically tuned stone walls.

Walls of retractable glass dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, drawing fresh air and birdsong deep into the home while framing the forested backdrop like living artwork.

PEERLESS​ CRAFTSMANSHIP

​In every chamber the signature of master hands is unmistakable. Cabinetmakers trace dovetails by instinct alone, coaxing warmth and depth from fine woods; stonemasons read the limestone’s grain like cartographers, guiding each chisel strike with generational wisdom. ​

Even the quietly functional spaces aspire to gallery‑level perfection: a climate‑controlled wine room where vintages rest in silent regiments, a concealed silver vault lined in cedar, and a discreet catering passageway that conducts epicurean delights from kitchen to dining hall with effortless grace.

The result is an atmosphere of rarefied excellence, where utility itself is elevated to art.

RESORT‑LEVEL​ AMENITIES

​Beyond the manor’s limestone verandas glisten two resort‑style pools and companion spas—mirrored oases that promise languid afternoons beneath the Texas sun.

The principal pool house rises as an alfresco salon, complete with a fully appointed indoor‑outdoor kitchen, a marble‑fronted bar ready for twilight cocktails, and a fireside lounge sheltered by a cedar pergola whose timbers perfume the evening air.

A secluded massage cabana and elegantly tiled changing suite extend the narrative of indulgence, while every fountain, cascade, and verdant lawn thrives under the guardianship of a private deep‑water well—an ecologically thoughtful gesture that sustains year‑round luxuriance.

Here, leisure is not merely offered; it is perfected.​

THE HISTORIC GUEST LODGE​
2 BED · PRIVATE POOL · 5 ACRES

​Reached by a storybook gravel lane, the guest house occupies the peninsula’s crown. Once a rustic hunters’ cabin, it has evolved into a Texas Hill Country‑inspired retreat.

Twin stone fireplaces anchor vaulted living spaces; rough‑hewn beams, wide‑plank floors, and a wrap‑around deck gaze onto golf‑course vistas.

Guests enjoy a secluded pool, spa, and full outdoor kitchen—a self‑contained haven a world apart from the main residence.

ENGINEERED​ SHORELINE PROTECTION

​To safeguard this irreplaceable topography, engineers installed a multi‑tiered bulkhead of concrete and interlocking steel sheet‑piling around the bayou edge.

The structure halts erosion, fortifies the bank against flood surges, and integrates stair‑stepped plantings that soften the technical might with natural beauty.

SECURITY​ & PEACE OF MIND

​Beyond the staffed gatehouse, Hunters Creek Village benefits from round‑the‑clock patrols by the Memorial Villages Police Department—one of the most proactive and sophisticated forces in the region. Residents enjoy near‑embassy‑level privacy, ideal for high‑profile lifestyles.​

HOUSTON’S ​PREMIER ADDRESS​

The Memorial Villages marry suburban tranquility with urban proximity: 7 miles to downtown Houston’s theaters and stadiums, 3 miles to the 1 500‑acre expanse of Memorial Park and its golf course, and a mere 2.5 miles to The Galleria’s constellation of luxury boutiques.

Tree‑lined lanes, top‑ranked schools, and independent city services make Hunters Creek an enclave apart, yet minutes from the energy center of America’s fourth‑largest city.​

​A LEGACY FOR GENERATIONS​

The Lodge at Hunters Creek is more than a residence; it is a modern citadel that fuses steel’s resilience, stone’s permanence, and human artistry into a living work of architecture. Conceived to be lived in today and remembered tomorrow, it invites its next steward to write a new chapter in a story already carved in limestone and welded in iron—one that will echo through the decades, perhaps centuries, to come.​
