Music superstar Aubrey “Drake” Graham already owns an infamous 50,000-square-foot mega-mansion nestled in Toronto’s affluent Bridle Path neighborhood that cost tens of millions of dollars to build. Not to mention a multimillion-dollar estate in Beverly Hills that he picked up from singer Robbie Williams two years ago and is currently shopping around for a whopping $88 million. But the Canadian “Hotline Bling” rapper just couldn’t resist scooping up an even bigger and more secluded luxury resort property in the Texas city of Brenham, between Austin and Houston.
Records show Drake doled out $15 million in late October for The Inn at Dos Brisas, a 313-acre spread featuring a Mediterranean-style main house plus several haciendas and casitas. There’s also an equestrian center boasting a spacious indoor arena, along with an organic farm, a greenhouse, a sports court, and a restaurant sporting a 7,000-bottle wine cellar.
Purchased by Houston tech mogul Doug Bosch and his wife Jennifer in 2000 as a family retreat and then converted into a resort in 2004, the much-beloved Relais & Châteaux-branded property shuttered its doors in 2022 due to COVID-related losses. In previous years, it was listed as one of CultureMap Houston’s picks for the 10 best hotels in Texas and claimed the state’s only Forbes Travel Guide five-star restaurant.

The main home is highlighted by a bar-equipped lounge area, a fireside dining room, and a large swimming pool and spa surrounded by an expansive sundeck. Five haciendas and four casitas range in size from 800 square feet to 1,795 square feet and include amenities like stone fireplaces, kitchenettes, luxe baths, screened porches, and private plunge pools. Golf carts are readily available for exploring the picturesque grounds, which are laced with pecan trees and wildflowers and host a rose garden, a trio of fishing ponds, and Peach Creek.
Though it’s unknown whether he plans to resurrect the resort as a business or use it as a high-end country estate, Drake’s new spread “has proven that it can and has been the best in its class as a restaurant and inn,” listing agent Tonya Currie at the Lifestyle Ranch & Home Group of Compass told Mansion Global last May, after she had relisted the property for $2.5 million off its original asking price.
Going forward, she added, The Inn at Dos Brisas “has the potential to be tapped into for use in so many other areas such as equestrian venues, a festival destination, medical retreat, country club or just for those wanting the best in a personal luxury getaway ranch.”
