    luxe lodge for $65M

    Luxurious $65M Houston lodge is most expensive home for sale in Texas, 8th in U.S.

    Houston's booming luxury real estate is showing no sign of slowing with the reveal that a sprawling, $65 million estate along Buffalo Bayou is the most expensive listing for sale in Texas.

    A new national real estate report by online real estate marketplace Point2Homes also determined The Lodge at Hunters Creek – a nine-acre estate located at 107 Timberwilde Lane – is the No. 8 most expensive residential property for sale in the nation.

    If this estate seems familiar, it was also the priciest home for sale in Texas in 2022, as CultureMap previously reported. At the time, The Lodge at Hunters Creek was listed for $60 million.

    The spacious property, listed by Billy Dolan at Carolwood Real Estate, boasts a gigantic 22,000-square-foot main house, complete with six bedrooms and eight bathrooms. Each bedroom contains its own en-suite bathroom.

    Floor-to-ceiling windows can be found throughout the house, allowing guests to get a picturesque view of the backyard pool, the expertly manicured garden, and the forest surrounding the home. The solariums are the ideal spot to sit and daydream, or perhaps do some yoga.

    The solariums give the perfect view of the garden, pool, and the trees beyond.

    Guests can choose to relax in one of the many lounge areas throughout the house, including a cozy-yet-sophisticated study that comes with a fireplace, spiral staircase, and multiple bookshelves along the walls.

    Tall, lusciously green trees wrap the spacious property with the perfect amount of privacy, but a personal 24-hour guard house also provides a sense of security for owners and guests. The gravel driveway into the property is a noticeable difference from the asphalt and paved driveways Houston is known for.

    A two bedroom, two bathroom guest house with a private pool and spa can be found farther away from the main house for added separation.

    Other over-the-top amenities at The Lodge include a multi-car custom showcase garage, a flexible sport court, an outdoor kitchen and bar, an on-site well, and more.

    With this hefty price tag, The Lodge has received national attention, most recently in the tony Robb Report. More information about the property can be found on carolwoodre.com.

    Houstonians need to make nearly $68,000 to afford rent in 2025

    A new rental report from Zillow has revealed Houston renters need to make about 23 percent more money than they did five years ago in order to afford rent in 2025.

    Zillow analysts examined the income needed to afford rent in 50 major U.S. metros, and determined rent prices in each city as of April 2025.

    The average Houston renter needs to make $67,731 a year to afford living in the city, the report found. To afford rent for a single-family home, the income needed increases even further to $85,017.

    Despite Houston's rising rent cost of living, it's still more affordable than many other cities. Nationally, the average income needed for someone to comfortably afford rent comes out to nearly $81,000. The study says that figure has increased nearly 35 percent since 2020.

    "Housing costs have surged since pre-pandemic, with rents growing quite a bit faster than wages," said senior Zillow economist Orphe Divounguy. "This often leaves little room for other expenses, making it particularly difficult for those hoping to save for a down payment on a future home. High upfront costs are often overlooked, which can keep renters in their current homes."

    Rent prices in Houston averaged $1,693 last month, which is less costly than the national average rent price of $2,024. Additionally, Houstonians are spending about 24 percent of their income on rent, while the typical American spends almost 30 percent of their income on rent.

    Renters are also saving hundreds of dollars in comparison to those that own their homes, as a recent SmartAsset study discovered the median monthly housing costs for a Houston homeowner came out to $2,219.

    At least we're not living on the East or West Coast, where eight U.S. metros require six-figure incomes to afford rent. Residents in San Jose, California need to make $136,532 a year to afford rent, the highest out of all 50 U.S. cities. Rent prices in San Jose came out to $3,413 in April.

    Here's how much money renters need to afford living in other Texas metros, according to Zillow:

    • Dallas – $71,413
    • Austin – $68,840
    • San Antonio – $58,590
