The former Inn at Dos Brisas, a much-loved Relais & Chateaux property and equestrian center north of Houston that shuttered in 2022, is back on the market for slightly less than its initial asking price.

The magnificent, 313-acre Dos Brisas ranch resort in Brenham, is now offered for $15 million - $2.5 million less than when it was first listed a year ago. Tonya Currie of Compass is handling the new listing.

Tucked away at 10000 Champion Dr. between Highway 290, TX-105, and Highway 6 in the southern foothills of the Texas Hill Country, Dos Brisas's resort building was built in 2002 and spans 14,000 square feet.

The idyllic Inn at Dos Brisas, one of CultureMap's picks for the 10 best hotels in Texas in 2014, hosted guests in Spanish-style haciendas and casitas, offered award-winning culinary experiences, welcomed beckoned visitors from near and far to enjoy horseback riding, bass fishing, cycling and clay target shooting.

Dos Brisas boasted the only Forbes Travel Guide five-star restaurant in Texas, and it was also recognized as one of the 10 best farm-to-table restaurants in the world.

Sadly, the resort did not survive COVID-related losses, closing its doors last year after more than 17 years in business.

The property is now ready for new owners who might have a new vision for what the listing calls "a harmonious fusion of luxury & serene seclusion."

In addition to being surrounded by gorgeous pecan trees, wildflowers, three stocked ponds, and Peach Creek, Dos Brisas also comes with a tennis court, an equestrian facility, a fully-functioning organic farm, and restaurant with 7,000-bottle wine cellar.

The haciendas on the ranch have private entrances, personal pools, floor-to-ceiling windows, and grand bathrooms.

“This ranch has proven that it can and has been the best in its class as a restaurant and inn, but now has the potential to be tapped into for use in so many other areas such as equestrian venues, festival destination, medical retreat, country club or just for those wanting the best in a personal luxury getaway ranch,” Currie tells Mansion Global.

Showings are available by appointment only. Scroll through the photos, above, for all the breathtaking features.

New home sales dipped in DFW in January as housing prices increased

New home sales fell across Dallas-Fort Worth in January, the report said. iStock

A new real estate report has shown a slow decline in new home sales across Texas, including in Dallas-Fort Worth.

The latest New Home Sales Index by HomesUSA.com discovered that Dallas-Fort Worth saw the second-most new homes sold in January out of the four biggest metros in Texas, despite being in an overall sales slump compared to December 2024. The three-month moving average of new home sales in DFW was 1,847 last month, versus 1,990 sales in December.

Housing prices also rose in January, with the average new home in DFW increasing to $496,498. That's about $2,600 more than the average price in December, which came out to $493,899.

While these declines may seem atypical, a sales slump is actually normal during the winter season, according to HomesUSA founder and CEO Ben Caballero.

Active new home listings in DFW flattened from December to January, with 8,287 active listings on the market last month.

New home sales in January throughout Texas
The report found new home sales dropped not only in Dallas-Fort Worth, but also in Austin, Houston, and San Antonio.

Houston's three-month moving average of new home sales was the highest out of all four metros with 2,046 sales made in January, but that figure technically decreased by 138 homes from December.

San Antonio saw 67 fewer homes sold from December to January, totaling 1,008 sales last month.

Austin the fewest new homes sold last month out of the four major Texas metros: At 809 homes sold.

"January sales are often lower than December in Austin as builders push hard to close the year with as many sales as possible, as I mentioned in last month’s report," Caballero said. "Austin builders were offering discounts, buyer incentives, and Realtor bonuses for December closings. A slower January is not unusual for that reason."

January housing prices fell in Houston to an average $395,515, and San Antonio's average new home price fell to $337,414. Austin had the second-highest average housing prices out of the four Texas metros last month, despite that number falling by $11,658 to $483,056.
