Resort-Like, 20-Acre Magnolia Estate Up for Auction — with No Opening Bid

Resort-Like, 20-Acre Magnolia Estate Up for Auction — with No Opening Bid

NORTHEAST OF HOUSTON sits the quiet and quaint Magnolia. On Oct. 21, a 20-acre swath of the scenic town goes up for auction — with no set or expected opening bid. The 14,400-square-foot home, situated on grounds that include a 2.5-acre stocked pond, was originally listed for more than $11 mil, but will now be up for grabs via Concierge Auctions, a luxury real estate marketplace.


The property at 38262 Windy Ridge Trail is surrounded by lush landscaping and a canopy of tall pines and oaks. The six-bedroom house's immediate backyard boasts a resort-like pool — waterfalls, umbrellas, a swim-up bar, sunning decks and more — and multiple summer kitchens, while hundreds of yards away is a lap pool, tennis court, a par-three golf hole, in-ground trampoline and more. A golf cart path runs throughout the property.

Back inside, there's standard Texas-mansion offerings like a theater room and wine cellar, plus an additional game room-slash-pub. The chef's kitchen comes with a double-oven and Travertine farm sink, and there's a separate catering kitchen, too. The sprawling, multistory library somehow manages to feel cozy. Intricate ironwork and other architectural details are found all over the house — don't forget to look up at the ceilings!

In cooperation with agent Lisa Carswell, bidding begins Oct. 21 at ConciergeAuctions.com, and buyers can bid digitally from anywhere in the world.

AS WE GET into the holiday season, we’re reminded of what we have, what we want and what might be lacking. As Sheryl Crow says in her song, Soak up the Sun, “It’s not having what you want, it’s wanting what you've got.” We caught up with LeBrina Jackson, owner of Escape Spa in Cypress, Texas, and learned how she tackles the holiday season with hope, love and most importantly, gratitude.

CHANGE IS A good thing, and with the start of a new year, I always like to reflect on how far I've come and start fresh by setting self-care goals for the coming months. Personal growth is a passion for me, and also something I enjoy. Guiding a business through growth and change is also one of my passions, so I am very pleased to announce that Escape Spa is going to be expanding in 2025! We’re honored that we’ve built such a loyal following since opening in Cypress in July of 2022, and we’re thrilled to be in a position to grow our wellness and recovery sanctuary just outside of Houston.
