Vanilla Ice Spring Texas Home for Sale Hits Market

Former rapper Vanilla Ice is back in the spotlight, but this time it’s not for music. He’s putting his Spring, Texas, home at 6311 Stone Hill Road up for sale.

The property combines modern upgrades with timeless style and is located in Auburn Lakes, one of Houston’s most popular master-planned communities.

The single-story house has three bedrooms and two bathrooms spread across 2,226 square feet. Sitting on a 7,405-square-foot lot, it also comes with a rare three-car garage.

Inside, there’s a renovated kitchen with a granite island and stainless steel appliances, a formal dining room, a home office, and a large primary suite with a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and double vanities.

Recent updates, including fresh paint, new carpet, a new roof, and fencing in 2021, make this home truly move-in ready.

From Rap Star to Real Estate Pro

Vanilla Ice, whose real name is Robert Van Winkle, has spent more than two decades flipping homes and building a real estate business. What started as a backup plan turned into a full-blown career.

He first got into real estate in the early 1990s after Hurricane Andrew destroyed his Florida property.

That moment pushed him to start flipping houses, and eventually led to his reality TV series, The Vanilla Ice Project, which aired for 13 seasons and showed off his skills in design and construction.

This Spring home is listed for just over $400,000, slightly above Houston’s median price of $365,000.

With its upgrades, luxury finishes, and celebrity name attached, it could shine among the 35,000 active listings in greater Houston.

The average home in the area sits on the market for 51 days, but this one might not last that long.

Why Buyers Love Spring, Texas

Spring is part of the Houston–The Woodlands–Sugar Land metro area, known for top-rated schools, plenty of job opportunities, and closeness to major companies like Exxon and HP.

Living in Auburn Lakes offers even more perks, including a clubhouse, fitness center, pool, tennis courts, playgrounds, walking trails, and lakes—a mix of suburban comfort with a resort-style twist.

Over the years, Vanilla Ice has invested in properties all over the U.S., including:

St. Augustine, FL: Two homes on Rattlesnake Island, including a fixer-upper near Mantanzas Beach.
Lake Worth, FL: Three adjacent properties, including a 5,000-square-foot Mediterranean-style house.
Palm Beach County, FL: Several luxury properties in one of the nation’s most high-end real estate markets.

This Texas home may not be the flashiest in his portfolio, but it carries the Ice seal of approval—and that makes it stand out.

Whether it’s the smart floor plan, the desirable neighborhood, or simply the chance to own a home touched by a celebrity, 6311 Stone Hill Road has plenty of appeal.

And with Vanilla Ice’s name on the deed, it could be one of the coolest listings in town.
