    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.

    2 Houston suburbs named top-10 best Texas cities to move to

    Sugar Land
    The City of Sugar Land, Texas – City Government/Facebook
    The asking rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Sugar Land was $1,450 in June, and two-bedroom units were $1,870.

    Several Houston neighbors have been deemed the best Texas cities to move to, with two local suburbs – Sugar Land and League City – coming in among the top 10.

    Advisors at ConsumerAffairs, a customer review and news platform, ranked the 50 most populated Texas cities across five main categories – affordability, safety, economy, health care and education, and quality of life – to determine which were the best places to move to. Each city was given a score out of 100 possible points.

    Four out of the top five best places to move to in Texas are located in Dallas-Fort Worth: Allen (No .1), Frisco (No. 2), Plano (No. 3), and McKinney (No. 4). Leander, a suburb outside Austin, rounded out the top five.

    Of all five categories considered, Sugar Land ranked highest – No. 4 – in the category of "health care and education." The city came in No. 5 for safety, No. 17 for economy, and No. 21 for quality of life. Its lowest ranking was No. 29, for affordability.

    Sugar Land has been booming in recent years, and earlier in 2025 it was ranked the No. 3 best place to live in the U.S.. According to Livability.com's report, Sugar Land is well known as "one of the more affluent and rapidly growing master-planned communities in Texas" whose 90s-era population boom has only continued to grow.

    Most recently, the City of Sugar Land acquired the 40-acre Imperial Sugar refinery complex for $50 million. The city is planning on redeveloping and renovating the land and its buildings, which include the iconic Char House.

    In ConsumerAffairs separate ranking of the best places to live in the South, Sugar Land ranked 6th on the list.

    Elsewhere in Houston
    League City ranked right behind Sugar Land, and it topped the list with the best healthcare and education in Texas, and it is the 7th safest city in the state.

    This suburb, located about 30 miles southeast of Houston, has earned its own reputation as the 7th fastest-growing, affordable city in the U.S.

    Meanwhile, Pearland landed just outside the top 10 as the 11th best Texas city to move to with the second-best healthcare and education statewide.

    Elsewhere across the Houston metro, three more suburbs made the list: Missouri City (No. 19), Conroe (No. 27), and Pasadena (No. 44). Surprisingly, The Woodlands was nowhere to be found in the rankings.

    Despite many of its suburbs ranking highly on the list, Houston proper ranked at the bottom as the 50th best place in Texas to move to.

    The top 10 best Texas cities to move to are:

    • No. 1 – Allen
    • No. 2 – Frisco
    • No. 3 – Plano
    • No. 4 – McKinney
    • No. 5 – Leander
    • No. 6 – Mansfield
    • No. 7 – Sugar Land
    • No. 8 – League City
    • No. 9 – Round Rock
    • No. 10 – Richardson
