Tina Knowles' Houston-area home is for sale, as first reported by TMZ.

The house, located off San Felipe and Voss, is just one of three homes Mama Knowles owns in the Houston area.

According to the listing on HAR, the home, which is listed for $3.5 million, sits on 2.6 acres in the gated community of Farnham Park and sprawls more than 8,885 square feet.

Beyoncé's momma's digs include five bedrooms, five and a half baths, a game room, a library, three fireplaces, a pool, a waterfront view of Buffalo Bayou and a guest house.

Mama Knowles had been living full-time at the home, according to reports. Is she moving in with her daughter for baby duty?

Beyoncé purchased the property — reportedly for $1.4 million — back in 2004 and then transferred the title to her mother. No word on where Beyoncé's dad/former manager and former Tina Knowles' husband Mathew Knowles is hanging his hat (or his head).
