60+ Hemi Hideout & Brookwood Community – North

Join the North Campus 60+ Group as we travel to see Hemi Hideout and Lunch at Brookwood Community.

Hemi Hideout
The Hemi Hideout is a 21,700 sq. ft. Heavy Timber frame, scissor arched masterpiece that is the largest of its type in Texas. Its octagon shaped copula rises to a height of 54 feet. The Amish inspired structure uses mortise and tenon joinery and all timber pieces are secured with oak dowels, eliminating the need for bolts, nails or glue.

The Hemi Hideout is a direct reflection of a lifelong dream fulfilled by owner John Hovas. It all started at age 16, with his love for the Dodge and Plymouth muscle cars of the 1960’s and early 70’s. Today, the venue is filled with 24 of the most desirable Mopar’s on earth, Icons from an era of Rock’n’roll. Over 600 vintage porcelain and neon signs, all from days gone by, that date back as far as the early 1900’s. Also featured in the venue, are many various pieces of memorabilia, antique tractors and motorcycles, all restored to their original factory glory.

This Texas-sized mancave is complete with a 1950’s style dinner, soda fountain and state of the art kitchen. There is a beautifully appointed, large yet cozy, living area with a grand fireplace.

Surrounding this outstanding structure and all of its unique interior features, is a professionally designed and beautifully appointed landscape scheme. Large mature pecan and weeping willow trees, and a multi leveled water feature, set the tone around the Hemi Hideout. The water feature is filled with many different varieties of fish, frogs, water lilies and exotic bog plants from around the world. The Hemi Hideout is certainly a dream come true!

Brookwood Community
Brookwood is a God-centered non-profit residential and vocational community for adults with disabilities located on 485 acres in Brookshire, TX just west of Houston. They have a Gourmet Café and Gift & Garden Center that is run by the resident.
