140 BAY HARBOR DR

There are waterfront homes... and then there are properties that simply could never be recreated again! Positioned on an extraordinary 1.97 acre peninsula with approximately 678 feet of wraparound waterfront, 140 Bay Harbor is one of the most unique private coastal compounds ever offered along the Texas Coast. Fully renovated in 2017, this resort-style estate was designed for those who believe luxury is not simply seen-but experienced. Beyond the gates, the property unfolds like a private island retreat where panoramic water views, swaying palms, yacht-caliber infrastructure, and world-class entertaining spaces create an atmosphere more reminiscent of the Caribbean than Texas. This is barefoot luxury at its highest level-a place where grandchildren learn to fish from the dock, friends fly in for long weekends on the water, and yachts tie up at sunset while the entire property glows beneath the coastal sky. The compound offers approximately 5,812 square feet of refined coastal living with 7 bedrooms, 6 full bathrooms, and 2 half baths spread throughout the main residence and guest accommodations. Expansive glass frames breathtaking 240-degree water views while warm wood flooring, curated finishes, reclaimed historic doors, and custom woven shades create an atmosphere that feels elevated yet relaxed. The chef's kitchen was designed for gathering and entertaining with Sub-Zero refrigeration, a professional 6-burner dual fuel range, granite countertops, oversized entertaining spaces, and custom artisan tile work inspired by the coast itself. The primary suite offers a true waterfront retreat complete with panoramic views, spa-inspired silver travertine shower, freestanding mirrored soaking tub, dual vanities, and separate walk-in closets. What truly separates 140 Bay Harbor from every other waterfront offering is the experience beyond the walls. The outdoor environment rivals many luxury resorts with an oversized heated and cooled pool and spa, extensive IPE decking, over 60 mature palm trees, professional landscape lighting throughout the compound, mosquito nix misting system, custom beach area behind the seawall for children to safely play, and multiple outdoor gathering spaces designed for unforgettable entertaining. Connected by walkway, a private island becomes the crown jewel of the estate featuring an extraordinary over-water tiki pavilion with outdoor kitchen, swing seating, and panoramic sunset views. Originally sourced from the Bo Derek film "10," the tiki structure alone reportedly represents priceless value & rarity while creating an atmosphere unlike anything else on the Texas Coast. For boating and fishing enthusiasts, the marine infrastructure is equally impressive with protected docking for three vessels including two covered slips inside the over-water boathouse and an additional yacht-capable space accommodating boats approaching 50 feet. Additional features include an open slip for an up to 40+/- foot offshore boat or sail boat, a 14,000 lb lift, 7,000 lb lift; both in a boat house with two slips and garage door to keep them out of the weather, climate-controlled tackle room, HVAC-equipped water toy storage, extensive recent seawall improvements, and furnishings included with select exclusions. This is not simply a waterfront home. It is a private coastal resort, a legacy family compound, and a lifestyle most people spend a lifetime chasing.
