Hidden Oaks is a beautiful, multifaceted 43 acre property in Brazoria County, offering an established wedding and event venue, a whitetail breeding facility with capacity for up to 300 animals, and stunning legacy oak trees that give the property its timeless character. A pecan-lined entrance leads into well-maintained grounds shaded by magnificent oaks, some over 300 years old. Their massive trunks and sprawling limbs create a setting that would take generations to recreate. In the morning and evening, sunlight filters through the oak canopy, casting a warm glow across the grounds and creating an incredible backdrop for wedding photography. Open pasture, a year-round pond, and a working windmill complement the stone venue and separate bridal house. Neighboring protected marshland adds to the quiet country setting. From outdoor ceremonies beneath the oaks to receptions with family and friends, Hidden Oaks is a special place to bring people together. The property also offers a great setup for a husband-and-wife team, with the wife focusing on the established wedding venue and the husband running the whitetail and exotic breeding side. With an active event business and the breeding facilities already in place, there is an opportunity to pursue both interests on the same beautiful piece of land. Hidden Oaks Events has been hosting weddings and events for more than six years and continues to accept new bookings. The property was also home to a full-scale whitetail breeding operation with approximately 300 animals, and all breeding facilities remain in place. Additional information about the wedding business is available upon request. TERRAIN The property features a mix of open pasture, a pecan orchard, and maintained grounds anchored by exceptional legacy oaks. Their broad canopies shade the areas surrounding the venue and bridal house, creating inviting outdoor spaces and beautiful views throughout the property. According to the seller, the property is outside the floodplain. An extensive, engineered French drain system collects stormwater and directs it into the pond, minimizing standing water and helping the grounds drain quickly and efficiently during heavy rainfall. The seller reports that all 43 acres are currently under agricultural tax valuation. IMPROVEMENTS The approximately 6,000-square-foot stone event venue offers indoor and outdoor ceremony options that allow events to take advantage of the surrounding landscape, with a comfortable indoor setting for receptions and gatherings. The venue includes a reception area, dance floor, warming kitchen, spacious restrooms, and indoor and outdoor sound systems. Three air-conditioning systems with six units serve the building. Civil and electrical engineers were involved in designing the venue infrastructure. The approximately 2,000-square-foot bridal house was built in 2002 and includes a bridal suite, groomsmen's suite, living room, office, and a kitchen remodeled around 2021. Separate gathering and preparation spaces give wedding parties a comfortable place to get ready, spend time together, and enjoy the day. The property is high-fenced, with 11 high-fenced pens and multiple cross-fenced pastures. WATER The pond covers more than an acre when full and holds water year-round. It receives runoff through the engineered French drain system and can be supplemented by the water well to help maintain its level. The well also supplies the event venue and bridal house. A working windmill supplies a cistern that feeds the pond, adding a classic Texas ranch feature to the grounds. WILDLIFE Hidden Oaks previously operated as a full-scale whitetail breeding facility, with approximately 300 whitetail on the property when the current owner purchased it. The breeding operation has been on hold for the past few years while the owners focused on the wedding venue. The breeding facilities remain in place and are reported to be fully operational.
