5) 10000 Champion Drive, Washington

Even with a $2.5 million price reduction from last summer, the grand Dos Brisas 313-acre estate remains as the fifth most expensive residential real estate listing in Texas at $15 million. Actually, three properties have that same seven-figure list price.

The horse-centric property with swank stables and an arena includes the main lodge plus four 800-square-foot casitas and five 1,795-square-foot haciendas with private pools, making this one of the most romantic ranch-inspired perches in the state.

Equally dramatic views are taken in from the floor-to-ceiling windows that reach 13 feet high.

The 10,600-square-foot house, designed by Dallas architect Gregory L. Wyatt, rises on a private peninsula overlooking Cedar Creek Lake. The two-story great room opens to the upper level accessed by stairs or a glass elevator. The second floor features an art gallery, a cinema with a stage, a game room and a fitness studio. A sand beach and boat dock with four lifts add to the appeal as does the work of landscape architect Jason Osterberger, who created paths leading to a koi pond, an arbor and the renowned Stewart sculpture garden.

At $15 million, 205 Lakeside Drive ties at fifth among 10 Most Expensive Homes In Texas.

The property is listed with Terri Thomas with Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty.

7) 3130 Harwood Street, No. 320, Dallas

With residential prices soaring in Austin, the $12.8 million penthouse in Blue Ciel could almost seem to be a bargain with 8,200-square-feet of interior space and a generous 8,000-square-feet of terrace. The two-story dwelling features a remarkable cantilever pool that extends beyond the building facade, offering exceptional views of downtown. The 32nd/33rd floor penthouse is listed with Allison Hayden of Harwood Living GP LLC.

8) 3320 Ranch Road 620 RD N, Austin

The $12.5 million price tag on the eight acre lot overlooking Lake Travis is strictly land price. The seller boasts that the property is 30 minutes from downtown Austin and 45 minutes from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. The property is available for an expansive dream home, a low density subdivision or condo development.

Monica Fabbio of Compass RE Texas LLC has the listing.

8) 2445 Pine Valley Court, Houston

For that same $12.5 million as the Lake Travis lot, the buyer can acquire a new construction home in the heart of Houston’s covetable River Oaks neighborhood. The 8,900-square-foot richly appointed home, overlooking prestigious Pine Valley Park, has been on the market for less than a month and with the credits of Mirador Builders’ Jennifer Hamelet it probably will not be on the market for long.

In addition to five bedrooms and the requisite number of baths, this Texas house boasts a generator, elevator, two staircases, second floor game room and a pool/spa with an outdoor pavilion.

Compass’s Laura Sweeney has the listing.

9) 1 Longfellow Lane, Houston

One of Houston’s historic gems, the Mediterranean Revival style home in the gated Shadyside neighborhood was designed in 1926 by famed architect William Ward Watkin.

The 9,863-square-foot house sits amid two acres in Houston’s Museum District.

The $11.8 million property is in the hands of Victoria Minton of Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty.
