Sitting on 4.4 waterfront acres, the secluded estate at 2 Longbow Lane boasts 6 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms 4-half baths and a private forest oasis behind its gates.

The home’s proximity to downtown Houston, while perched in a picturesque topography of the wilderness, provides the ultimate physical and spiritual escape. The home’s interiors are intricately designed with dramatic architectural features at every turn, from vaulted ceilings and hand hewed timbers to stone details and two story floor-to-ceiling windows. Built on a curve, each room exhibits panoramic views of the romantic rolling hills and winding paths wrapping around the entire property. “It’s very forward thinking in its design with a feeling of being totally away from civilization”, says agent Mark Menendez . “Perched at the end of a long and private road that is hard to find without intention and all just minutes from the hustle and bustle of downtown” establishes 2 Longbow Lane as one of the most coveted properties in Memorial Close-In. At the center of the home, the great room bodes a sublime blend of sophistication and comfort.
