A 60,000-square-foot house for sale in Brazoria County has the potential for 55 bedrooms with full baths.

"It's probably more like 70 bedrooms," said Mona Miller of the Christy Buck Team at RE/MAX Top Realty in Houston. "They're not completed, so it's difficult to tell."

The house at 2354 County Road 59 in Manvel is on the market for $3.5 million. It would be ideal for some type of institutional use, Miller said.

"We have had some inquiries for assisted living," she said.

With a 15-acre setting, there would be room for smaller cottages around the main building, she said.

Started in 2001, the structure was apparently the project of a physician and his wife who wanted to build a post-surgical rehab center, Miller said. The design included a large, indoor natatorium.

Before the center was finished, however, the couple built a smaller structure on adjacent property, which Miller said she thought they ended up using.

"As far as we can tell, this one has never been occupied," she said of the larger building.

Whoever buys the property will probably need to take it down to the building shell and the studs, Miller said.
