140 Bay Harbor Drive

There are waterfront homes—and then there are properties that can never be recreated. Set on a rare 1.97-acre peninsula with approximately 678 feet of wraparound waterfront, 140 Bay Harbor is one of the most extraordinary private coastal compounds ever offered on the Texas Coast. Beyond the gates, the estate unfolds like a private island retreat—panoramic 240-degree water views, more than 60 mature palms, and an atmosphere more Caribbean than Texas. This is barefoot luxury at its highest level: grandchildren learning to fish from the dock, friends flying in for long weekends, yachts tying up at sunset as the entire compound glows beneath the coastal sky. Fully renovated in 2017, the resort-style estate offers approximately 5,812 square feet with 7 bedrooms, 6 full and 2 half baths across the main residence and guest quarters. Expansive glass, warm wood floors, reclaimed historic doors, and a chef's kitchen with Sub-Zero refrigeration and professional 6-burner range create interiors that feel elevated yet relaxed. Outside, the grounds rival a luxury resort: an oversized heated and cooled pool and spa, extensive IPE decking, professional landscape lighting, and a custom beach behind the seawall where children safely play. The crown jewel awaits across a private walkway—an island anchored by an over-water tiki pavilion with outdoor kitchen, swing seating, and panoramic sunsets. Originally sourced from the Bo Derek film "10," it is a piece of history found nowhere else on the Texas Coast. For boaters, the marine infrastructure is equally impressive: protected docking for three vessels, two covered boathouse slips with 14,000 lb and 7,000 lb lifts, yacht-capable space for vessels approaching 50 feet, climate-controlled tackle room, and recent seawall improvements. This is not simply a waterfront home. It is a private coastal resort, a legacy, and a lifestyle most people spend a lifetime chasing.
