Recently, it was reported that Aubrey Drake Graham, the talented Canadian musician, has made a big investment in a 313-acre ranch situated about 85 miles outside of Houston. According to CultureMap, the popular rapper, known for his hit song "Family Matters", has become the proud owner of The Inn at Dos Brisas, a stunning property located in Washington, Texas. It was revealed that Drake spent a whopping $15 million to secure this beautiful ranch, which boasts a magnificent 14,300-square-foot Mediterranean-style main building.
News of the Toronto native's purchase surfaced in late October, and it was quite a smart move on his part. The property had only been on the market for a few months before Drake swooped in and claimed it for himself. Initially listed for $17.5 million in April 2022, the price was later reduced to $15 million in May 2023 after it failed to attract any buyers. Tonya Currie, a representative of Compass who managed the listing, confirmed the sale in an email to CultureMap, saying, "Dos Brisas is a rare legacy ranch property that offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the right buyer, which we were able to find once we listed it, bringing the price in line with the market conditions at the time."
Interestingly, the ranch was previously owned by Houston tech mogul Doug Bosch and his wife Jennifer, who purchased it in 2000 as a private family retreat. However, in 2004, they transformed it into a luxurious resort known as Relais & Châteaux. The property operated successfully for almost two decades until it was forced to close its doors in 2022 due to the economic fallout caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The ranch was even featured as one of CultureMap Houston's top 10 hotels in Texas and was home to the state's only Forbes Travel Guide five-star restaurant.
The ranch boasts several haciendas and casitas, as well as an indoor arena, an organic farm, a greenhouse, and a sports court. Additionally, there is a restaurant on the property that includes an impressive 7,000-bottle wine cellar. It's still unclear whether Drake intends to use the ranch as a personal residence or for business purposes, but either way, it's clear that this purchase is a significant milestone for the talented artist. Only time will tell how Drake chooses to make use of this stunning piece of land.
