Clearly everything is bigger in Texas, and that’s definitely true about 88 W Grand Regency Cir. in The Woodlands. The home boasts more than 30,000 square feet unfold across more than four acres, including 10 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms.

The palatial estate is on the market for $13 million and is represented by Diane Kink of The Kink Team.

This estate comes in at number two of the most expensive listings in the state, according to HAR.com. It’s only topped by 5531 Walnut Hill Lane in Dallas, which is just one more thing that will add to the never-ending Bayou City-Big D rivalry.

But back to 88 W Grand Regency Circle. This is the kind of house that’s tailor-made for a family that loves entertaining, both inside and out. When a home has more than 7,000 square feet of terraces alone, it’s definitely an A-list spot for wine on the patio, family birthdays, summer celebrations, and more.

Imagine an all-out bash by the in-ground pool or a smaller ladies weekend brunch on one of the covered side patios.

Prefer to be indoors? There are cozy alcoves for quiet conversations, a movie room with a giant screen and a casual eating space that’s modeled after a mid-century American diner. On the first floor, the “gentleman’s study” has a private elevator to the second floor. A third-floor VIP suite features its own bar and lounge, and a massive closet with bay windows.

Exquisite detailing is on display throughout, from inlaid and carved ceilings, to lighted glass display cabinets to Corinthian pillars.

There’s covered parking for six cars, two motor courts, two spas flanking the pool, two separate apartments, a pool house, an owner’s office with separate space for an assistant. This epic home truly needs to be seen to be believed.

And even then, it might still seem like something out of a fantasy.
