Combining dramatic architectural gestures with advanced technology, the steel-framed home features six bedrooms and six baths (plus six more powder rooms), two elevators, and an 11-zone HVAC system. The home also has 72 custom walnut doors and a massive front door that was reportedly one of the largest single-family residential doors in the United States when it was installed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/robbreport.com\/shelter\/homes-for-sale\/houston-duplex-penthouse-bob-mcnair-1238062759\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">RELATED: Inside an $11 Million Houston Penthouse With Ties to Texans Founder Bob McNair<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/robbreport.com\/wp-content\/themes\/pmc-robbreport-2017-v2\/assets\/public\/lazyload-fallback.gif\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/3102NobleLakesLane20.jpg\" alt=\"Steve Chenn for Martha Turner Sotheby's International Realty\" data-lazy- data-lazy- height=\"683\" width=\"1024\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\tHighlights include a 3,000-gallon aquarium and a full barbershop.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe interior design favors spectacle without abandoning a sense of flow. The open-plan main level creates distinct entertaining zones while allowing spaces to transition naturally into one another. In the double-height living room, a monumental polished-stone fireplace anchors the space, while a freestanding cylindrical wine display transforms bottle storage into a sculptural element in the dining area. The sleek nearby kitchen has a long, sinuous island and a casual dining spot, and the secondary kitchen reinforces the house\u2019s ability to support hospitality on a grand scale while remaining a comfortable place to live.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/robbreport.com\/listing\/extraordinary-waterfront-estate-on-long-lake-maine\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1_76c954.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium-landscape size-medium-landscape wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\"  \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFeatured Listing\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExtraordinary Waterfront Estate on Long Lake, Maine\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHarrison, ME\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPrice Upon Request\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/robbreport.com\/listing\/the-pinnacle-of-lake-sherwood-living\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/DJI_20260601195339_0468_D.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium-landscape size-medium-landscape wp-post-image\" alt=\"default\" decoding=\"async\"  \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFeatured Listing\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe Pinnacle of Lake Sherwood Living\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLake Sherwood, CA\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t$19,900,000 USD\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/robbreport.com\/listing\/luxury-custom-built-log-home-on-long-lake-maine\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/longlake_maine_realestateagent20.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium-landscape size-medium-landscape wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\"  \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFeatured Listing\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLuxury Custom-Built Log Home on Long Lake, Maine\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBridgton, ME\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t$3,295,000 USD\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/robbreport.com\/listing\/waterfall-villa-the-ultra-luxury-residence-of-kamala-in-phuket-thailand\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1_112a16.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium-landscape size-medium-landscape wp-post-image\" alt=\"default\" decoding=\"async\"  \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFeatured Listing\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWaterfall Villa \u2013 The Ultra-Luxury Residence of Kamala in Phuket, Thailand\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tKamala, Thailand\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t$13,900,000 USD\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe residence also includes a 13-seat cinema outfitted with approximately $500,000 in California Audio Technology speakers, a two-lane commercial-grade Brunswick bowling alley, a 3,000-gallon aquarium, a dedicated barbershop, and a spa area with a sauna and fitness room.
