Currently listed for $13.5M, the property will sell with No Reserve to the highest bidder. Bidding is scheduled to be held November 12–17 via Concierge Auctions’ online marketplace, ConciergeAuctions.com, allowing buyers to bid digitally from anywhere in the world.
“To say I’m looking forward to yet another Texas auction with Concierge would be an understatement,” stated Rick Doak, with Republic Ranches LLC. “Their world-class database and our combined expertise in both the local arena and luxury auction sector will yet again deliver a field of buyers for a one-of-a-kind estate. We’ve done it before, and we’ll do it again.”
Since 2006, the property has been home to the elegant and unparalleledBriscoe Manor, one of the Houston area’s premiere wedding and event venues. Past the limestone entrance and private tree-lined drive sits the limestone Briscoe Chapel, lush courtyard, and a refined Grand Ballroom, all providing an ideal backdrop for any event. Interior spaces feature a rustic yet elegant aesthetic that evokes the natural setting, including soaring wood ceilings, chandeliers, stone walls, and french doors. The property is well suited for the next owners to continue the thriving wedding and event business, or to further develop the extensive grounds as a church, private school, distillery, brewery, corporate headquarters, music venue, or a multitude of other options.
“Having been in our family for over 186 years, deciding to sell our incredible property was not an easy choice, but one we are confident in because we’re working with both Concierge Auctions and top agent Rick Doak,” said seller, Jorden Mahler, “Being able to define our date of sale, work with the best in the business, and gain extensive reach to the world’s most high-net-worth buyers via Concierge’s platform allows me to be in control.” Additional amenities include a barn venue fitting for rehearsal dinners, private parties, or corporate meetings; kitchen with a custom barbecue smokehouse, refrigerator, and freezer; fountains in the lake; separate bar area; “groom’s lounge” and “bridal suite”; four barn structures for storage, including two with single-studio apartments, totalling over 10,300 total square feet; two water wells, including one that is TCEQ approved for public use; 150-kilowatt propane-fired generator; fire sprinkler system and pump house; and a paved parking lot for 170+ vehicles.
