Texas' legendary Inn at Dos Brisas ranch resort now on market for $15 million

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 resort can surely bring in quite the prestigious guest.

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.

Longhorn Ballroom

Dallas' famed Longhorn Ballroom music venue has unveiled a newly renovated multi-use building — located across the courtyard from the Ballroom at 200 Corinth St. — that's open for creative types in the fields of entertainment, restaurant, and the arts.

The Longhorn Ballroom was built in 1950 for country music legend Bob Wills and this Texas Playboys and was originally named Bob Wills’ Ranch House. It was managed for a time by Jack Ruby, then Dewey Groom who renamed it the Longhorn Ballroom and built it into one of the greatest venues of its day, hosting Willie Nelson, Loretta Lynn, Merle Haggard, Charley Pride, Pasty Cline, B.B. King, Ray Charles, Nat King Cole, James Brown, Al Green, Johnny Rodriguez, Freddy Fender and Selena.

This newly renovated building was originally constructed in 1950 as part of the Ranch House, where it served as a motel for touring musicians and according to a release, is rumored to have sheltered Wills' horse "Punkin."

The two-story 26,000-square-foot building offers co-working spaces for entertainment professionals, attorneys, and managers. There are five 1-2 person offices available, along with a limited number of residential live-work studios for artists. There are also several small restaurant spaces available for "culinary creatives."

The largest available area — a former recording studio — could be transformed into a space for audio, film, or post-production work.

There is also a common area and kitchen, plus plentiful parking. Internet and utilities are included. Rates depend on space rented.

"As an entertainment attorney, there’s no better place for my practice than the Oficina co-work space at the Longhorn," says Decker Sachse, a current tenant. "It’s a great location with easy access and my clients love the vibe."

In the fall, the Longhorn will complete its third and final phase with the opening of a 6,500-capacity outdoor amphitheater along the banks of the original Trinity River. Called The Longhorn Backyard Amphitheater, it will host a series of soft opening shows this fall, starting with Randy Rogers on September 20. A grand opening with a full calendar of events will commence in the spring of 2026, providing the city with a state-of-the-art outdoor venue one mile south of downtown Dallas.
