Editor's note: Although it is confirmed that the Dos Brisas ranch has been sold, a realtor under a non-disclosure agreement clarified that she could not confirm that it was sold to Drake or any other specific party. Robb Report's article references records that connect the property to Drake. The story has been updated.
Drake is reportedly the latest rap icon that can proudly say he's a Texan after purchasing Dos Brisas, a phenomenal 313-acre ranch in Washington located less than 85 miles outside Houston.
As CultureMap reported before the property sold, the $15 million Dos Brisas ranch was originally built in 2002, featuring a grand 14,300-square-foot Mediterranean-style main building. The home is surrounded by gorgeous pecan trees, wildflowers, three stocked ponds, and Peach Creek, providing an abundance of opportunities to enjoy the lovely Texas outdoors.
Several prestigious amenities can be found throughout the property. Drake will surely reap the rewards from the ranch's fully-functioning organic farm, and – if he can find the time – he can employ a new hobby by raising horses thanks to an expansive on-site equestrian facility. For any other outdoor activities, Dos Brisas contains a spacious resort-style pool, hot tub, and a tennis court.
Multiple haciendas are also spread out throughout the ranch, suggesting the rapper could turn the property into an impressive resort business venture if he decided not to keep it all to himself.

Before the buyer snatched up the ranch in October 2023, Dos Brisas had only been on the market for a few months. Its former owners shuttered the formerly famous resort in 2022 after it had been in operation for 17 years. It first appeared on the market in April 2022 with a $17.5 million price tag, which expired in September before it was re-listed at its $15 million price tag in May 2023.
Robb Report was first to report on Drake acquiring the property. Compass agent Tonya Currie, who managed the listing, confirmed the high profile purchase in an email to CultureMap, although she did not use Drake's name. She writes the ranch sold within 90 days at the full list price.
"Dos Brisas is a rare legacy ranch property that offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the right buyer, which we were able to find once we listed it bringing the price in line with the market conditions at the time," Currie told CultureMap.
If Drake can really call himself a Texan, hopefully he'll enjoy living the country life just 45 minutes outside Houston. Rap legends love nothing more than to dote on the city, and Drake is no stranger to sharing his appreciation for Houston with the locals. During his September 2023 concert at the Toyota Center, the Canadian-born superstar claimed Houston was "where everything started" for him, even going so far as to call the show a "homecoming."
"Listen, listen — I’m a be honest with y’all," Drake told the exhilarated crowd at the time. "I get the most nervous for Toronto of course, and the second most nervous for y’all."
He just can't stay away: Drake's most recent return to H-Town was for a star-studded performance at RodeoHouston alongside Bun B, Nelly, Rick Ross, Eve, That Mexican OT, and many more hip hop legends.

The big purchase wouldn't quite make Drake a Houstonian, but it surely would make him a Texan. Maybe a party at Trill Burgers to celebrate?
