Aaron Harris Realty has an exclusive opportunity for a discerning buyer. A custom-built estate spanning nearly 9,000 sq ft. embodies the essence of sophisticated living in harmony with nature. The property offers a unique collaboration opportunity with Capstone Luxury Homes and Alicia Nicholas Designs, allowing the buyer to infuse their personal style into this luxurious canvas.
Aria Isle ( pronounced Air - eah) is the last luxurious lakeside home site. This "Crown Jewel" of The Woodlands is formerly known as Mitchell Island. George Mitchell had grand plans for the property, and Howard Hughes Corporation is now bringing these plans to fruition.
The East Shore community has its 25 luxurious home build-outs accounted for on the half-acre to one-acre lots that sit atop the formerly named Eagle Island, aptly named by residents for its American bald eagle population, which will maintain green space for the nesting bald eagles, one of the hurdles over the last 30 years.
The isle has broken many records in terms of land values, proximity, exclusivity, and cost per square foot. These properties ultimately attracted the Ritz Carlton developed by Douglas Elliman with some of the highest estimated home values in the Houston area. Many notable Architectural Firms are excited about getting an opportunity to design on this isle with such an impressive location and views from both Woodlands Parkway and Lake Woodlands Drive. The home designs keep getting bigger and better.
Aaron Harris - of Aaron Harris Realty has over $100 Million in home sales in The Woodlands. He came from his hometown of North Carolina to work with The Woodlands Development Company in 2000. Aaron transitioned from the development side to resale for residents and
soon-to-be residents of Carlton Woods. He has been a decade-long resident of Carlton Woods, investing in multiple properties inside of Carlton Woods and Carlton Woods Creekside.
Multiple properties are built and framed to completion at Aria Isle, but it's still in the early phases. While Aria Isle won't have the amenities like Carlton Woods, the convenience and unique qualities will surpass expectations for the Woodlands development. It will be unmatched.
Clint Capstin, Principal Owner of Capstone Luxury Homes, has been in luxury construction for over 20 years, building in sought-after areas such as Carlton Woods, River Oaks, Memorial, Montrose District, and other surrounding Inner Loop discerning areas. He is a proud builder who stands behind his workmanship and design and believes in a collaborative team that brings out the best.
Aaron and Clint share stories of obtaining one of these exclusive lots/properties and how many interested parties from all over were involved in the bidding process. The selling prices exceeded the asking price by over a half million on some of these lots.
"Aria Isle is the crown jewel of The Woodlands and has fetched home prices never imagined here before and homes will push a $1000 sq foot,” says Aaron Harris. “Ultimately, this success I believe is one of the reasons why Ritz Carlton was attracted and is now building Ritz Carlton Residences across the water."
"I envision Aria Isle to be a premier destination for luxury buyers," says Somer Padilla of Compass. "It offers unparalleled living next to nature, exclusivity, and the convenience of Hughes Landing and Market Street."
This unique property was not sold to investors or builders; it was offered exclusively to local residents.
What sets this residence apart? The two-story library by Greg Burkett Architect Design has multiple lake-view rooms with sleek, modern architectural design. "The properties will all be new; I anticipate them being a good blend of modern sophistication that most of our area neighborhoods do not have. They are mixing in modern with traditional," says Somer. "I feel like this will be our first 2024-2025 living development. Some buyers coming to our area are disappointed that our market is not quite as modern as what they are used to."
Romy Solanji's company, Timeline Construction Group, has been successful for the past 15 years and specializes in the sought-after modern aesthetic in Houston, Austin, and Dallas. Solanji noted that most of their Austin projects held the highest historical sale prices on Lake Travis.
68 Aria Isle is the first of its kind, at 12,000 square feet, a custom home for a prestigious client who saw one of the luxurious homes on Lake Travis and reached out to Solanji and his team to build one for him, bringing Timeline Construction Group's total to 100 million dollars in projects on the isle.
"Since starting the 68 Aria Isle project, we have signed 14 contract jobs on the isle," shares Solanji. "Each house keeps getting bigger and better than the last," Solanji explained that most builds are becoming intricate and stand out against other new buildouts. Some unique custom features at 68 Aria Isle include a putting green on the rear balcony and an oversized deck for his boat dock. Every detail is custom, from the porcelain floors throughout the residence, porcelain on the front facades, marble work, and book-match porcelain materials imported from Italy, Spain, New Zealand, and Vietnam.
The interior designer, Amber Solanji, a top designer was selected for the interior and furnishings at 68 Aria Isle. Amber's other work can be seen on Instagram, @ambersolanji, and she has worked in NYC with top design firms.
