Home Details
Welcome to The Bay House — a remarkable 20.38-acre private estate on the west shore of Galveston Bay, just 30 miles from downtown Houston. Behind a private gate, this one-of-a-kind property offers 849 feet of riprap-protected bay frontage and two expansive piers — including, per the owner, the longest private pier on Galveston Bay. Anchored by a beautifully restored historic home built in 1916, the estate also features a secondary residence, multiple guest houses, a spacious cabana, and a large storage warehouse. High-end interior finishes and extensive recreational amenities—including a resort-style pool, hot tub, tennis court, and outdoor kitchen—make this a premier coastal retreat. For those seeking adventure, the property’s piers offer direct access to fishing, kayaking, and sailing with the The Houston Yacht Club a short boat ride across Galveston Bay. This sanctuary is not just a home—it’s a lifestyle.
