The sprawling estate inspired by European palaces sold Oct. 27, according to Harris County deed records. It is the priciest single-family home sale recorded through Multiple Listing Services in the Houston area , according to Houston Association of Realtor records and Douglas Elliman Realty, the luxury real estate brokerage that marketed the property.

An agent for the buyer was not disclosed.On 4.2 acres, the main house wraps around the courtyard with views of the grounds, including expansive manicured gardens inspired by those of the Palace of Versailles.

There’s also a two-bedroom, 3,700-square-foot guest home on the property.
