EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

THE SMALL ENCLAVE OF WHITEHALL, TEXAS, HAS A WONDERFUL SECRET: THE WHITEHALL RANCH.

The Whitehall Ranch offers 656 acres of rolling hills and every amenity you could desire on your private ranch. Located between Houston and College Station, it is only minutes by helicopter from the lighted helipad at the ranch to just about all locations you would need, including the Houston Medical Center. Major highway arteries including SH 6 and the new SH 249 tollway are close by, allowing quick and easy access to all points.

A private, impeccably designed family enclave is tucked into a natural protected setting and reflects the thoughtful merger of inspiration and architecture. The main residence, two guest houses, and pool house and spa area are a masterpiece of design and modern luxury with soaring ceilings and wall-to-wall windows. No detail was overlooked. Terraced landscaping and manicured grasses offer a Zen-like setting among architectural symmetry and dramatic lines.

The Stables host two mirror image barns with twenty oversized stalls, tack rooms, grooms’ quarters, and office. Built on a high point of the ranch, the views are vast and overlook the regulation polo field and lakes. Fenced turn-out paddocks and large beautiful pastures are all accessible from here.

Your own “farm to table” is right here from the fenced garden, orchard area, greenhouse and chicken area. Gather your fresh eggs and vegetables as you need them. Enjoy a refined self-sustainable lifestyle.

Whitehall Ranch offers sporting and recreation to soothe the soul. From the private skeet and trap range to resort-like poolside lounge. While hiking or riding throughout the miles of trails you will see abundant wildlife, fat cattle, and easily forget the rigors of city life.

Launch your canoe or pontoon boat and fish in the eight-acre lake, or enjoy an evening ride on the water to watch the sunset.

HOME CAMP

Inspiration and brilliant architecture were combined to create this residential environment.

The simple contemporary lines of these luxurious tranquil residences offer total privacy.

The ambiance is enhanced with the free standing fireplace which is reminiscent of a grain silo.

THE STABLES

When designing the stables and polo field, the current owner built in incredible flexibility. The polo field for example, would lend itself equally well as three holes of golf, driving range, cricket pitch, soccer field, lawn tennis, baseball field, or almost any outdoor pursuit. The stables also can be converted into a myriad of uses, such as, wedding venue, art studios, meeting space, accommodations, or yoga and wellness studio.

• An additional 20 live oak trees were added to this area of the property

LAND, WATER, TOPOGRAPHY

LAND, WATER, AND TOPOGRAPHY

The west boundary of Whitehall Ranch, along Beason Creek, sits at 246 feet elevation and climbs to 352 feet at the highest point on the ranch. There is almost two-thirds of a mile of frontage on County Road 305, a dead-end road.

The topography is rolling with open pastures, drainages and areas of dense woods. Many native tree species are found on the ranch including pecan, oak and pines. The ranch is part of Region 5, the Brazos Bottom, East Coastal Plains and the Southeast Piney Woods.

An eight-acre lake captures run-off water and offers an excellent fishing and recreational water feature. There are two water wells nearby, if needed, to help keep the lake full in the drier seasons. This lake is stocked with bass, perch and bluegills. A boat dock provides an entertainment area and covered docking for the pontoon boat. This water is clear and also used to irrigate the polo field.

Nearby is a waterfowl pond developed to host numerous species and can be filled by a nearby well if needed.

There are many stock tanks throughout the ranch that provide livestock water. Several natural springs are on the ranch. These springs have run throughout the driest times. A charming bridge crosses one of the springfed creeks on the ranch.
