Editor's note: Although it is confirmed that the Dos Brisas ranch has been sold, a realtor under a non-disclosure agreement clarified that she could not confirm that it was sold to Drake, specifically. Robb Report references records that connect the property to Drake. The story has been updated.

Drake is reportedly the latest rap icon that can proudly say he's a Texan after purchasing Dos Brisas, a phenomenal 313-acre ranch in Washington located less than 85 miles outside Houston.

The property had been on the market off and on for more than a year, first appearing on the market in April 2022 with a $17.5 million price tag, then re-listed in May 2023 for $15 million.

According to Robb Report, Drake snatched it up in October 2023. Compass agent Tonya Currie, who managed the listing, confirmed the high profile purchase in an email to CultureMap, although she did not use Drake's name. She writes the ranch sold within 90 days at the full list price.

"Dos Brisas is a rare legacy ranch property that offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the right buyer, which we were able to find once we listed it bringing the price in line with the market conditions at the time," Currie said.

The ranch was originally built in 2002, featuring a grand 14,300-square-foot Mediterranean-style main building. The home is surrounded by pecan trees, wildflowers, three stocked ponds, and Peach Creek, providing an abundance of opportunities to enjoy the lovely Texas outdoors.

Its prior owners shuttered the resort in 2022 after it had been in operation for 17 years.

Several prestigious amenities can be found throughout the property. Drake will surely reap the rewards from the ranch's fully-functioning organic farm, and – if he can find the time – he can employ a new hobby by raising horses thanks to an expansive on-site equestrian facility. For any other outdoor activities, Dos Brisas contains a spacious resort-style pool, hot tub, and a tennis court.

Multiple haciendas are also spread out throughout the ranch, suggesting the rapper could turn the property into an impressive resort business venture if he decided not to keep it all to himself.

The Willow Wood Horse Farm in Grapevine is on the market for $7.2 million.

A stunning, 10-acre North Texas property that's fit for a modern cowboy has just hit the market for $7.2 million: Called the Willow Wood Horse Farm, the equestrian paradise is located on West Kimball Avenue in Grapevine, about 30 miles northwest of downtown Dallas.

The ranch is a combination of elegant and thoughtful modern design paired with all of the practicality required of a fully functioning farm.

According to the listing, which is held by Burgher-Ray Ranch Group and managed by David Burgher and Harlan Ray, the ranch includes several fenced pastures, an enclosed and insulated shop storage building with concrete flooring, and a seven-stall horse barn.

A covered and irrigated riding arena is attached to the barn, every stall has its own turnout, and six of the stalls are 12 feet by 12 feet wide, and the seventh is designated as a foaling stall. An additional turnout for grazing is located adjacent to the barn, as well as a training pen.

But the focal point of the entire estate is the 4,353-square-foot, three-story primary residence that sits at the highest point of the gently sloped property. The home was custom-designed and completed in 2022, featuring an exterior made of metal cladding, concrete, durable ipe hardwood, and glass.

From the front door, guests will see views that lead through the home's living areas and into the 3,000-square-foot back deck, past the 80-foot-long saltwater swimming pool, and out toward the pastures.

The chef's kitchen is outfitted with luxurious Gaggenau appliances, such as a steam convection oven, a conventional convection oven, a coffee machine, stove, dishwasher, a separate paneled refrigerator and freezer, and a warming drawer. A half bathroom and full butler's pantry is located to the side of the kitchen, which is equipped with a prep space and a dishwasher.

Additional features of the home include:

Koi ponds located on either side of the main door that welcome guests to the home
An open concept living space that contains the living room, kitchen, and dining rooms
A primary suite with a spacious walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom
Two additional bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms
Soft opening/closing doors in all main bedrooms
Dynaudio speakers installed throughout the home
Geo-thermal heating/cooling system

A custom-built metal spiraling staircase connects all three levels of the home. The second floor includes a viewing area with floor-to-ceiling windows and access to the covered porch and rooftop deck. The lower level leads to an "acoustically balanced" underground home theater featuring eight-foot concert walls, Dynaudio speakers, an Ember Audio sound system, a 250-bottle wine cooler, and a powder bathroom. The listing notes that this area could be converted into a storm cellar.

A detached three-car garage is located next to the home, and has one EV charging station and two additional outlets for charging. Discreetly designed solar panels are hidden on top of the garage, which are capable of powering the entire residence.

The horse barn, irrigation system, and stock pond all run off of a water well located on the property, while the primary residence uses city water with a filtration system.

"Situated in the heart of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, just minutes from Lake Grapevine, Southlake, and an easy commute to DFW International Airport, this property affords someone the ability to have all the comforts of the city, while living just slightly removed from it all," the listing says.
