Houston's high-end housing market just notched another headline-maker, with a country-French manor in Hunters Creek Village closing this month for $12.2 million and claiming the top spot among luxury sales for the week of Feb. 8. The brick-and-limestone estate spans 9,766 square feet on roughly 2.5 acres inside the private Timberwilde enclave, with formal entertaining rooms, a paneled library, and grounds that pack in a pool, cabana, and tennis court. It ranks as one of the heftier transactions in the Memorial Villages so far this year.
According to Houston Business Journal, the property at 412 Timberwilde Lane fetched $12.2 million and led the list of priciest Houston-area sales for the week of Feb. 8, using figures compiled by the Houston Association of Realtors. The outlet cites marketing materials from Martha Turner Sotheby's International Realty, which handled listing photography and promotion.
MLS data shows the residence at 9,766 square feet, with four bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms on a 2.46-acre lot, as listed on HAR.com. Brokerage writeups emphasize the formal library, large-scale entertaining spaces, and the secluded outdoor amenities that sit within the manicured landscape.
Historical MLS records indicate the house hit the public market last year at about $12.25 million, with Martha Turner Sotheby's agent Stephen Warrell identified as the contact, and the sale is recorded as closing on Feb. 9, according to MLS data at RealtyTexas. That asking price lines up closely with the reported final number and works out to roughly $1,250 per square foot for the finished living space.
Where This Sale Lands In Houston's Luxury Market
Hunters Creek Village is part of the Memorial Villages cluster that routinely delivers some of Houston's biggest-ticket deals, alongside River Oaks and West University, a trend noted by the Houston Chronicle. Nearby, a separate Timberwilde estate has been publicly listed at nearly $60 million, underscoring how trophy properties in the pocket neighborhood can help shape pricing for local closings, as documented by The Real Deal.
The $12.2 million Timberwilde transaction will be folded into HAR's weekly statistics and serve as a fresh comparable sale for agents advising buyers and sellers throughout the Memorial Villages, according to HAR's listings and sales data. For now, the deal is another reminder that acreage, privacy, and period-inspired architecture still command a serious premium in Houston's most exclusive enclaves.
