The Ranch at CityCentre was born from a simple yet powerful vision shared by two people who see the world differently — and beautifully together.
Genan, a surgeon with a lifelong appreciation for calm, restorative spaces, understands deeply what it means for a place to heal and replenish. Abed, an entrepreneur who fell in love with the Texas way of living — real materials, honest craftsmanship, and wide-open outdoor comfort — brought that vision to life with intention in every detail.
Together, they created something rare: a single-story private estate where authentic ranch character meets upscale Houston living, tucked into a quiet neighborhood just minutes from Memorial, CityCentre, and the Energy Corridor.
"We didn't build this to be just another rental. We built it the way we would want to find it — with handcrafted furniture made exclusively for this home, a kitchen stocked the way we stock our own, a backyard designed for the kind of evenings that become memories. Every decision was made with our guests in mind."
Genan & Abed, your hosts
"Welcome to The Ranch at CityCentre — our home, and now yours. We built this place with a single intention: to create a space where guests feel genuinely cared for, from the moment they arrive. As a surgeon and an entrepreneur, we both understand that true rest and genuine comfort are not luxuries — they are necessities. Every decision we made here reflects that belief. The mattresses were chosen for how they feel after a long day on your feet. The kitchen was stocked the way we stock our own. The outdoor space was designed for the kind of evenings that turn into memories. The furniture was handcrafted — not ordered from a catalog, but made with purpose for this home. We are deeply proud of what The Ranch has become, and we are honored every time a guest chooses to stay with us. Whether you are here for a weekend, a month, or something in between — make yourself at home. This place was built for you."
Genan & Abed
Every piece of furniture was individually handcrafted and custom-made exclusively for this home. From the solid hardwood frames to the live-edge dining table resting on natural tree stumps — nothing here was mass-produced.
Carefully curated Texas and Americana artwork fills every room — original metal sculptures, vintage-inspired paintings, and statement pieces that tell the story of a place deeply rooted in Texas character and pride.
An expansive, secluded backyard designed as a private resort — multiple outdoor living zones, a sparkling pool, heated spa, fire pit, covered lounge with outdoor TV, grill, hammocks, and mature trees offering rare urban privacy.
Large sliding glass doors connect the kitchen and living areas directly to the covered patio and backyard, making the transition between indoor comfort and outdoor beauty completely effortless — perfect for entertaining.
