Waterfront Estate on 2.34 Gated Acres in Richmond, TX

Set behind the gates of Texana Plantation in Richmond, TX, this waterfront estate spans 2.34 acres along a tranquil lake, backed by protected green space along Jones Creek that will never be developed - meaning no back neighbors, ever. With over 7,200 sq ft of living space, a guest house and a 2-story workshop with A/C, this is a true compound built to hold multiple generations.

Texana Plantation is close to everything, yet away from it all. In the heart of Fort Bend County, where private lakes and acreage lots wind beneath a canopy of oak and pecan trees — it’s just minutes from Sugar Land, Katy, and Houston.

Here, you feel like you’re on vacation every day. (Click here to watch the complete video tour.) Stunning views of your private oasis greet you as soon as you walk in, and windows abound, making you feel like you’re at a resort from almost anywhere in the house. From the front, the home sits far back on the lot with plenty of space; from the back, walls of windows frame the pool, the yard, and the lake beyond. Even the primary bath opens to a private courtyard view, creating a tucked-away retreat of its own.

The home's signature moment comes around 5:30, when the sun sets over the water, the fountain comes to life, and the sky turns gold and pink behind the tree line — best enjoyed from the breakfast room beside one of the home's 5 fireplaces.

A grand entry sets the tone — a domed ceiling, a sculptural chandelier, and a curved staircase that frames a clear sightline straight through the home to the sparkling pool and lake beyond. The main house has 6 bedrooms and 5 full baths plus 1 half bath providing room for family and guests alike: 4 bedrooms are en-suite, with 2 additional bedrooms down, making single-level living effortless.

Built for multigenerational living, the property pairs a 6,616-square-foot main house with a separate 600-square-foot casita — a private retreat with its own entrance, ideal for extended family, visiting grandchildren, or a quiet home office. Flexible spaces throughout adapt easily to remote work, homeschooling, and hobbies, so the home flexes for every stage of life.

Outdoors, a resort-style pool overlooks the water and a covered patio is built for year-round Texas evenings. A koi pond adds another note of calm — its mature, prized koi convey with the home. With the protected Jones Creek green space directly behind, there are no rear neighbors and the sunset views stay uninterrupted.

For the hands-on owner, a standalone 2-story workshop is plumbed, climate-controlled, and wired for 220V — ready for woodworking, car restoration, crafting, or almost any project, with wide-open potential for whatever it becomes next.

If you've been searching for gated acreage, true waterfront views, and a home built to hold more than one generation — all minutes from the city — this is the rare estate that delivers all of it, in one of Fort Bend County's most sought-after communities.
