The city of Pearland is considering the annexation of land south of Southern Trails, and the parcel could include these McMansions. If that happens, it could spur some events for them.
2 Huge Mansions
off of 288 & Southfork

I passed by the behemoths again a few days ago. For some reason, the thought of those places being the perfect setting for a stereotypical teen slasher film came to mind.
Premise: Some stupid teens have a wild party at a big ole Texas Mansion in a rural area. Some slasher guy escapes from the prison about 25-30 miles down 288 and makes it there and kills everyone at the party except two lucky teens who manage to somehow get to help. Cast DPS officers and Pearland Police as a bunch of bumbling guys as they are in all teen slasher flicks. The end of movie.
They can have the premiere at the Cinemark at Silverlake and have Sheila Jackson Lee show up to steal camera time and talk about how much of a benefit to Texas that the movie full of D list actors was.

Just say no to the term "EaDo"!

The 60,000+ square footer is still for sale. They're looking to sell it as a commercial property, however. I was inside today, taking pictures. Can't really say much more than that right now. But will have pictures of the interior to share very soon. Let's just say that if you thought the smaller one was a mess, you ain't seen nothing yet.

A local doctor built it in 1991 but he, his wife and teenage son had second thoughts and never moved in. Now for sale for $2.4 million, will anyone buy it to actually live in it?
