Unique Lakefront Estate in Freeport

By Chip Tait | Published May 25, 2011

Heidi Allbritton is the bomb. Here’s a new listing for her the likes of which I’ve never seen. It’s not enough that there’s a cool, 1960s vintage house with a sunroom, screened in swimming pool, detached three-car garage, a barn and a workshop. Heck, we expect that much out of Heidi. But how about the fact that all of these buildings sit on a 62 acre parcel including a 40-acre salt water lake? This property would make an amazing corporate retreat! The grounds are tended by a full time gardener, and it shows. We made a virtual tour for this one, which can be seen here.

Eileen Jasper just moved her HQ to Pearland, and I’m glad to be a part of her new team. My first assignment was to shoot this elegant Trendmaker custom home in the Whispering Lakes Ranch subdivision in League City. And, yes, it has towering ceilings over the living room!

Grant King has a new listing in The Lakes at Highland Glen, where he was once a new home sales counselor for Coventry Homes. So this will be the second time he sells this one! This home has soaring ceilings and designer touches, all on a lakefront lot.

A showcase listing in South Gate

By Chip Tait | Published May 16, 2011

Cheryl Combs and her seller pulled out all of the stops for this one. The house has been beautifully maintained, has all of the desirable upgrades (It was a Cervelle Model Home), and was professionally staged by Tish Raiford of ShowCondition Home Staging. I spent several hours enjoying this home while photographing it. You can see the deluxe virtual tour here.
