From Starter To Luxury: These are the Homes of Gleannloch

Let’s take a brief trip back in time.

Just 70 years ago, Gleannloch Farms in Spring, TX was home to one of the nation’s top horse-breeding programs. Owned by oilman and farmer Douglas B. Marshall, Gleannloch Farms had a reputation for upscale facilities and incomparable horse breeding. Celebrities like Wayne Newton and Dale Evans rode Gleannloch Arabians in the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, and other famous Americans like Patrick Swayze and Lyndon B. Johnson purchased Gleannloch horses, wanting the best of the best for their personal stock.

Fast forward: Gleannloch Farms has evolved into one of the most highly-desired modern master-planned communities north of Houston. Many of the original white stables and barns still stand in excellent condition, helping to preserve the timeless farmland feel. With nearly 3,200 homes, Gleannloch is an impressive sprawl of paved roads, grassy fields, playgrounds, equestrian facilities, fishing lakes, churches, schools, and businesses punctuated by The Gleannloch Pines Golf Club, Gleannloch Farms Recreation Center, and Gleannloch Fitness Center.

Essentially, endless hours of outdoor activity await outside everyone’s front door.

With a rich equestrian history and a serene yet active atmosphere, Gleannloch is the standard for master-planned living with all the amenities in Spring. Whether you’re looking for a starter home or a luxurious estate, Gleannloch remains attractive to homebuyers across the board. To prove it, we’re taking a closer look at the incredible range of real estate offered by this North Houston gem.

Stunning starter homes.

9614 Edgeloch Drive, $245,000

For first-time home buyers, nothing beats the blood-pumping satisfaction and pride that comes from holding the keys to their very own home. And that means it’s time to invite friends and family over to show the place off! From curb appeal to interior architectural details to endless amenities, a Gleannloch starter home makes a stellar first impression (and lasting impression) on even the most hard-to-impress friends and in-laws.

9614 Edgeloch Drive is a perfect example of just how much “bang” you can get for your buck in this neighborhood. With four bedrooms, two and a half baths, and an expansive backyard (complete with patio), this property would easily cost twice as much in many other areas of the country. Natural light pours through the wall of windows in the vaulted two-story living room to fill the home’s open floor plan with warmth, creating a calm, airy atmosphere. The spacious master bath features a luxurious garden soaking tub, twin sinks, and a walk-in closet that would make anyone’s mother green with envy. In the kitchen, a breakfast bar and gas range provide a cooking, eating, and entertaining area of elevated style and sophistication.

Affordable forever homes.

1242 Walston Ridge Drive, $255,000 (Off Market)

Once folks move to Gleannloch, they’re hard-pressed to find another neighborhood that competes for their affection, let alone inspires them to sell their home and relocate. Gleannloch is a “forever home” kind of place. And with real estate gems like 1242 Walston Ridge Drive, it’s easy to see why.

Stately yet welcoming, this 2,500 square foot four-bedroom home sits upon a beautifully manicured lot with a spacious fenced-in backyard. Stylish tile and wood flooring will usher the homeowners or their guests through a spacious foyer and into a main living area flooded with natural lighting. The kitchen boasts plenty of counter space and a gas range and could be easily upgraded to dream kitchen status with new countertops or cabinets. The master bath features a luxurious soaking tub, and there’s plenty of space for relaxing or entertaining in the upstairs game room. All this plus the incredible community amenities for under $260k? Welcome to the magic of Gleannloch.

Mid-range elegance.

19806 Woodberry Manor Drive, $309,900

If this charming Woodberry Manor Drive home is any indication (and it is), Gleannloch properties do not skimp on square footage. At over 3,172 square feet, this home combines near-luxury spaciousness with affordability to offer the best in mid-range living.

18-foot ceilings frame the dramatic foyer that leads into an open floor plan accented by gorgeous wood flooring, arched doorways, and an ornate railing to the second story. An elegant master suite features a bath designed with luxury and efficiency in mind. The massive jacuzzi tub provides the perfect setting for evenings of quiet relaxation with a glass of wine and a good book, and the double vanity, large walk-in, and enclosed water closet will make getting ready in the morning a breeze.

Jaw-dropping luxury.

18623 Yorkshire Manor Court, $458,000 (Sold)

At nearly 4,500 square feet, we’re pretty sure this property is more of an estate than a house. Classy yet understated, this dreamy Yorkshire Manor Court home is a stellar example of the stunning and unique luxury homes dotting the Gleannloch streets. Boasting five bedrooms and that endless square footage, this home looks like it should be listed closer to the $1 million mark. But don’t let the upscale community amenities fool you…Gleannloch luxury is far more affordable than one might think, raising the standard for everyday living without raising the monthly mortgage payment.

DIY dream homes.

9026 Robinhoods Well Drive, $249,000 (Sold)

Though most Gleannloch homes were built in the mid-2000s, there are several that date back to the 1990s, reflecting earlier interior design styles. But we’re here to remind folks that they shouldn’t let a little outdated wallpaper prevent them from pouncing on a beautiful house that— with a little updating and personalization— could easily become their dream home. The older homes of Gleannloch are no less attractive to buyers, as many feature unique floor plans and plenty of nooks and crannies that add to the character of the home.

Take this Robinhoods Well Drive home, built in 1999, for example. With four bedrooms and over 2,300 square feet of tiled floor plan, this home offers plenty of space for entertaining, tons of storage, and quirky features like a wrap-around fireplace and built-in arched shelving. A few cans of paint for the walls and cabinets, updated countertops, and some new light fixtures would take this hidden gem to the “Dream Home” level, no problem.

Whether it’s a charming three-bedroom or a magnificent estate, Gleannloch is home to some of the most sought-after homes not only in Spring, but North Houston as a whole.
