Olympic gymnast Simone Biles and her NFL star husband, Jonathan Owens, have landed a buyer for their sprawling Texas property-just days after listing the home they resided in while finishing up their custom mansion.

Biles, 29, and Owens, 31, began building their sprawling Texas residence in 2022, with construction wrapping three years later. While work on the property was underway, the couple picked up a four-bedroom home in Spring, Texas, to serve as their temporary base.

After settling into their custom abode, Biles-who is listed on the deed alongside her mother, Nellie-put the property on the market for $1.2 million.

Then, just six days after listing the home, the couple has seemingly found a buyer, with property records now revealing that the home has entered the "pending stage," as first reported by Mansion Global.

Built in 2019, the contemporary residence spans 3,998 square feet and features four bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and a three-car garage.

The listing, which is held by Melissa Franklin of RE/MAX, describes the property as "pure perfection" and a home "built for entertainment."

"This home captures the feeling of your own private resort year-round. Situated on 1+ acre in the only exclusive, gated section of Benders Landing with no back neighbors, this custom contemporary offers 4 BRs (2 primary), 3.5 baths, media room, study & custom wine wall with fridge," the listing states.

Inside, soaring ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows help flood the open-concept interiors with natural light, while sleek finishes lend the home a contemporary feel.

The main living area centers around a modern fireplace and flows seamlessly into the spacious kitchen and dining area.

The kitchen is equipped with a waterfall island, quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, state-of-the-art appliances, and a hidden pantry.

"Waterfall island kitchen with quartz counters, custom cabinetry, large dining area & hidden pantry. Sun-drenched family room with walls of sliding glass doors that bring the outdoors in," the listing adds.

Elsewhere, the home offers a media room, a private study, and a custom wine wall complete with its own refrigerator.

The primary suite serves as another luxurious retreat, boasting dual walk-in closets and a spa-inspired en suite bathroom.

However, one of the home's more unique amenities may have been particularly appealing to Biles: a dedicated mudroom outfitted with its own pet-washing and feeding station.

Outside, the more than 1-acre property offers plenty of space and privacy, with no rear neighbors to interrupt its secluded feel.

The home is also within easy reach of Houston, The Woodlands Mall, and nearby golf courses-offering the couple a luxurious place to call home while they waited for their long-anticipated custom residence to be completed.

The listing comes mere days after Biles opened up about the couple's latest move while speaking to People after Owens signed a one-year deal with the Indianapolis Colts in March.

Although Biles has remained primarily in Houston thus far, she confirmed that she plans to join her husband in Indianapolis later on-while holding on to their sprawling lakefront mansion outside Houston.

"I've been in Houston most of the time, so I'm going to officially move there [to Indianapolis] a little bit later. So I haven't experienced too much, but the stadium is stunning. It's beautiful. I'm just excited to watch my husband. It doesn't matter, as long as he's safe and healthy and he's having fun, then I don't care," she said.

Though the couple's home base will remain in Texas, they could opt for a rental in Indianapolis during the NFL season, much as they did in Chicago while Owens was playing for the Chicago Bears.

During Owens' stint in Chicago, Biles regularly traveled between Illinois and Texas as construction continued on the couple's custom mansion outside Houston.

Work on their Texas property was finally completed in November, although Biles and Owens didn't officially move in until February, after packing up their Chicago residence following the end of the Bears' season.

Since settling into the home, Biles has offered several glimpses inside the lavish property-including a peek at their luxurious bedroom, which was designed to evoke the feeling of a five-star hotel.

Posting a video of the room's remote-controlled drapes opening one morning, the Olympian revealed that she had asked interior designer Diamond Hadley to create the kind of ambiance typically found at a high-end resort.

"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, which showed the curtains opening to reveal the couple's outdoor patio and pool.

Biles has also filled the home with more personal touches, particularly inside her private office, where she has begun displaying mementos from her decorated gymnastics career.

Among them is her January 2025 Sports Illustrated cover, which celebrated her being named the magazine's 2024 Sportsperson of the Year.

Above it hangs another Sports Illustrated cover featuring Biles alongside fellow Olympians Michael Phelps and Katie Ledecky, who were hailed as "The Greatests: Stars of a Red Hot American Summer" following their performances at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.

A poster from the Gold Over America Tour, which Biles launched in September 2021 following the Tokyo Olympics, completes the trio of framed achievements.
