“The house hovers 13 ft above the ground, wrapping a 200-yr-old pecan tree; Scott Strasser, designer and builder let imagination and intention inform his design,” the listing on Compass says. “Each space flows effortlessly into one another, creating a unified whole rather than a series of rooms.”

“Quiet, substantial luxury runs throughout the home, evident in the beautifully executed details, well-thought-out lighting plan and high-end plumbing fixtures,” the listing details.

And yes, what about those busts near the building? Turns out, the home is actually next to Houston’s Mount Rush Hour, aka American Statesmanship Park, a Compass PR rep told McClatchy News. And it’s not just two busts.

“It’s actually four 18’ tall busts of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Sam Houston, and Stephen F. Austin,” the rep noted.

The home is held by Krantz & Linn.
