This $5.5 million Texas estate was just listed with a pool house and gym

The town of Beaumont, site of the largest oil boom in U.S. history and a key site of the Texas Revolution, is full of history and colonial-style homes. This Georgian-style property stands out from the crowd in several ways with its numerous amenities. The sprawling estate at 6 Estates of Montclaire is now listed for $5.45 million and appears fit for a royal court.

Georgian architecture became popular in England during the era of four British monarchs – beginning with King George I – and gradually made its way to colonial America. This newly listed residential building was built in 2001 and is therefore of course not an original from the 18th century, but the main house extends over almost 19,000 square meters and is therefore synonymous with the houses of this period, ranging from their size to… Colonial style houses had larger window sizes. On the market and unavailable since 2013, the property includes a pool house that expands your total living space to 22,000 square feet.

Seven bedrooms and 14 bathrooms are spread throughout the property, which is located in a private, gated enclave. Parisian interior design influences adorn the foyer, such as detailed moldings and arched entryways. The formal living room is further in the room and features a wood-burning fireplace under a double-height ceiling. A wrought iron railing complements the space alongside French doors that open onto a covered patio. Patinated wooden cabinets and red brick decorations in the nearby kitchen add to the character of the house.

The master bedroom isn’t the most exciting room in the house, but its arched doors leading to the backyard fill it with natural light. However, Doric-style columns and steps surround the bathtub in the ensuite, giving it a more sophisticated feel. These amenities include a wood-paneled office, an entertainment room with island storage, and an 8K theater with a 130-inch screen. The fully equipped gym and resort-style outdoor pool and spa offer additional relaxation amidst lush landscaping.

Michael Reisor of Douglas Elliman holds the listing.
