Musician Aubrey “Drake” Graham already has a famed tens of millions of dollar mega-mansion, spanning 50,000 square feet, located in Toronto’s upscale Bridle Path district. In addition, two years ago, he purchased a multimillion-dollar mansion in Beverly Hills from singer Robbie Williams, which is currently on the market for an incredible $88 million. However, the rapper of the song “Hotline Bling” from Canada just couldn’t resist buying an even larger and more exclusive luxury resort in the Texas city of Brenham, which is located halfway between Austin and Houston.
According to records, Drake paid $15 million for The Inn at Dos Brisas in late October. The property is 313 acres and has a main house designed in the Mediterranean style as well as a number of haciendas and casitas. In addition, there’s an organic farm, a greenhouse, a sports court, a restaurant with a 7,000-bottle wine cellar, and an equestrian center with a large indoor arena.
The renowned Relais & Châteaux-branded hotel was bought by Houston tech billionaire Doug Bosch and his wife Jennifer in 2000 as a family getaway. It was then transformed into a resort in 2004. However, COVID-19-related losses caused the property to close its doors in 2022. It has the distinction of being the only five-star restaurant in the state to be recognized by Forbes Travel Guide and was included in CultureMap Houston’s list of the top ten hotels in Texas in prior years.
The main house features a spacious swimming pool and spa encircled by an open sundeck, a dining room by the fire, and a living space with a bar. With sizes ranging from 800 to 1,795 square feet, the five haciendas and four casitas have features like stone fireplaces, kitchenettes, opulent bathrooms, screened porches, and private plunge pools. There’s a rose garden, three fishing ponds, Peach Creek, and beautiful grounds dotted with wildflowers and pecan trees. Golf carts are easily accessible for your exploration.
Listing agent Tonya Currie of the Lifestyle Ranch & Home Group of Compass told Mansion Global last May that Drake’s new venture “has proven that it can and has been the best in its class as a restaurant and inn,” even though it’s unclear if he intends to resurrect the resort as a business or use it as an upscale country estate. This was after she had relisted the property for $2.5 million less than its original asking price.
Future plans call for The Inn at Dos Brisas to be used in a variety of ways, including as a country club, equestrian facility, festival destination, medical retreat, or just for individuals seeking the finest in a private luxury getaway ranch.
