Olympic gymnastics legend Simone Biles and her husband, NFL star safety Jonathan Owens, have quickly secured a buyer for their contemporary Texas property. The swift transaction comes just six days after the couple officially listed the house, which served as their primary residence while they oversaw the final stages of construction on their custom-built dream mansion nearby. <\/p>\n
The couple first broke ground on their sprawling Texas estate in 2022, embarking on a multiyear building project that finally wrapped up. While heavy construction and interior planning were underway on the custom property, Biles, 29, and Owens, 31, purchased the four-bedroom home in Spring, Texas, to serve as their comfortable temporary base. <\/p>\n
Following their transition into the newly finished custom abode, Biles\u2014whose name appears on the property deed alongside her mother, Nellie\u2014decided to list the temporary residence with an asking price of $1.2 million. Held by Melissa Franklin of RE\/MAX, the property attracted immediate attention in the competitive suburban Houston market. Property records recently reviewed by Mansion Global indicate that the transaction has officially entered the pending stage just under a week after hitting the market.<\/p>\n
Built in 2019, the stylish contemporary residence spans an impressive 3,998 square feet. The floor plan includes four bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and a spacious three-car garage. Marketing descriptions from the listing characterize the dwelling as "pure perfection" and a home uniquely "built for entertainment." <\/p>\n
The property is situated on a lot measuring over an acre within the only exclusive, gated section of Benders Landing, boasting the added privacy of having no rear neighbors. The listing notes that the architectural setup captures the relaxed feeling of a private resort year-round. Inside, soaring ceilings and walls of floor-to-ceiling glass flood the open-concept living areas with abundant natural light, while sleek, modern finishes define the aesthetic throughout. <\/p>\n
At the center of the main living space is a contemporary fireplace that flows effortlessly into an expansive kitchen and adjacent dining area. The gourmet kitchen is appointed with a striking waterfall island, premium quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, state-of-the-art appliances, and a concealed walk-in pantry. Additional indoor amenities include a dedicated media room, a private study for working from home, and a custom-designed glass wine wall complete with an integrated refrigerator.<\/p>\n
The primary suite functions as a private retreat within the home, featuring dual walk-in closets and a spa-inspired en suite bathroom. True to the practical needs of a high-profile couple with pets, the house also includes a specialized mudroom equipped with its own custom pet-washing and feeding station\u2014a thoughtful feature that likely appealed strongly to Biles. <\/p>\n
Outside, the expansive acre-plus grounds offer maximum privacy and tranquility, shielded from neighboring properties in the back. Beyond the gates of the immediate neighborhood, the residence offers convenient access to the greater Houston area, local golf courses, and upscale shopping destinations like The Woodlands Mall.<\/p>\n
The rapid sale of the Spring property comes at a time of significant transition for the high-profile couple. Just days prior to the listing, Biles opened up about her upcoming domestic plans in an interview with People magazine, following Owens\u2019 career move in March when he signed a one-year contract with the Indianapolis Colts. <\/p>\n
Although Biles has spent the majority of her time in Texas, she confirmed that she intends to make an official move to Indianapolis later on to support her husband during the football season, while simultaneously maintaining their permanent lakefront mansion outside Houston. <\/p>\n
"I\u2019ve been in Houston most of the time, so I\u2019m going to officially move there a little bit later," Biles shared with the publication. "So I haven\u2019t experienced too much, but the stadium is stunning. It\u2019s beautiful. I\u2019m just excited to watch my husband. It doesn\u2019t matter, as long as he\u2019s safe and healthy and he\u2019s having fun, then I don\u2019t care."<\/p>\n
The couple’s approach to football season housing mirrors the logistical routine they established during Owens’ tenure with the Chicago Bears. While Owens played in Illinois, Biles frequently traveled back and forth between Chicago and Texas, balancing her professional commitments and public appearances with the ongoing construction of their custom Houston-area estate. <\/p>\n
Construction on that long-awaited custom mansion was completed in November, though the couple did not officially move in until February, following the conclusion of the NFL season and the packing up of their Chicago residence. Since settling into the lavish property, Biles has occasionally shared glimpses of the interior with her followers, highlighting personalized design choices and high-end amenities.<\/p>\n
Among the most talked-about spaces is the primary bedroom, which Biles explicitly designed to replicate the atmosphere of a five-star luxury hotel. In a video posted to social media, the decorated Olympian demonstrated the room’s remote-controlled drapes opening to reveal a view of the private outdoor patio and swimming pool. <\/p>\n
"When we designed this bedroom, I told them I wanted it to feel like a hotel and it feels exactly like that," Biles captioned the clip. <\/p>\n
In addition to the resort-style bedroom, Biles has infused the custom mansion with personal history, particularly within her private office. The workspace functions as a tribute to her historic athletic career, featuring a display of framed memorabilia. Among the featured items is her January 2025 Sports Illustrated cover, which commemorated her selection as the magazine’s 2024 Sportsperson of the Year. <\/p>\n
Positioned directly above it is another notable Sports Illustrated cover pairing Biles with fellow legendary Olympians Michael Phelps and Katie Ledecky. The trio was celebrated under the headline "The Greatests: Stars of a Red Hot American Summer" in recognition of their historic medal counts and enduring dominance following the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. A promotional poster from the Gold Over America Tour\u2014which Biles launched in September 2021 in the wake of the Tokyo Olympic Games\u2014completes the framed collection, marking the chapters of an unprecedented athletic journey as she and Owens embark on their next phase of life in Texas and beyond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
