Owned by an heiress of the De Beers diamond dynasty, no details or luxuries were spared in the creation of Merkaba. Listed for $5.95 million, the property will sell with a $1.5 million Reserve in cooperation with Michael Morrison of Morrison House Sotheby's International Realty.

“We are extremely pleased to be offering Merkaba at auction with Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions. Their process grants our seller control over the sale of their property, from selecting the date of sale, to an expansive marketing reach on an expedited timeline, to full transparency throughout the exposure cycle,” stated listing agent, Michael Morrison. “By combining our firm’s reach with Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions’ global database, we look forward to a competitive auction.”

This property sits on 85-plus acres with views of Mount Rainier. The architecture of the 5,614 square-foot main home is reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Guggenheim Museum, blending sustainability and design. Solar and geothermal systems power the everyday function, while gardens, fruit orchards, and chicken coops provide sustenance. Designed with entertainment in mind, Merkaba features retractable interior walls to expand space for hosting a crowd. A saltwater pool and wraparound patios offer views of the sculpture garden and surroundings. A detached 1,700 square-foot, three-bedroom guesthouse at the other end of the gardens offers friends or family privacy.

306 Longwoods Lane | Houston, Texas
Bidding Opens 18 May

Owned by Chief Executive Officer of the Houston energy company eCORP International LLC, John Thrash, and famed Houston socialite and philanthropist Becca Cason Thrash, this nearly 20,000-square-foot masterpiece has never previously been offered for sale and is set to auction with No Reserve, in cooperation with Jay Monroe of Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty.

Nestled amidst the verdant tranquility of Houston's exclusive Memorial area, this mid century brick home has blossomed into a contemporary architectural masterpiece. Throughout the three-bedroom estate, every room tells a story of art, design, and a harmonious connection to the natural world. Natural light bounces off exquisite granite, slate, and rift-sawn oak finishes, while sweeping glass vistas transform the emerald surroundings and meandering bayou into living masterpieces of organic art. With spaces designed for the grandest of gatherings, no detail has been spared. From the expansive kitchen that beckons the most skilled caterers, to the awe-inspiring atrium-like dining room, and the enchanting gathering space with its 44-foot-long pool, this unparalleled estate celebrates the spirit of philanthropy and togetherness. Over the years, the current owners have hosted an array of luminaries at festive galas, and the halls linger with memories of esteemed guests, such as the likes of former presidents, George Clooney, Anna Wintour, and more. Yet, for private moments, the residence offers three bedrooms and a separate one-bedroom guest apartment.

“Having worked with Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions on the recent successful sale of 3996 Inverness Drive, I can say the auction process is truly an essential tool in the luxury real estate space,” stated Monroe. “The streamlined auction method ensures that both buyers and sellers can achieve a transparent and efficient transaction and guarantees my clients a definitive timeline. We couldn’t ask for a better suited property for this process, and we look forward to another successful auction.”

Revered for its towering trees, spacious properties, manicured lawns, and some of the most admired homes in the city, Houston’s Memorial area remains one of its most desirable neighborhoods. For decades, people have flocked to this lush, somewhat pastoral area west of downtown for its privacy and seclusion from the bustle of the city. Homes range from luxurious high-rises to new generously proportioned estates on expansive homesites, often in exclusive gated communities. Quiet lanes wind through wooded terrain and neighborhoods with lakes for boating, swimming, and fishing. The Houston Country Club, shops, restaurants, entertainment venues, art studios and galleries, and other activities and amenities are all within easy reach. Nearby Memorial Park offers miles of trails, green space, an arboretum and nature center, tennis and croquet courts, a driving range and golf course, and a fitness center.

Secluded and private, the prime location creates an atmosphere of tranquility.
