Overview

§ 01

Rare opportunity to own 7.599 acres of waterfront property along Oyster Creek in Freeport. Situated on Blue Water Drive near Hide-A-Way on the Gulf, this expansive property offers a unique combination of acreage, water frontage, and existing improvements with significant potential for a buyer looking to create something truly special. The property is being offered primarily for its land value and currently includes a main residence, additional living quarters, multiple garages, a pool, tennis court, gated entrance, and other improvements. The existing structures are in need of significant renovation, giving the next owner the opportunity to restore and reimagine the property or explore other possibilities for the site. With more than seven acres along the water and substantial space to bring a new vision to life, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a property of this size in a coastal residential setting. Property is being sold as-is.

MUD Disclosure (§49.452)

§ 03 · Data moat
● §49.452 Notice
Not in archive
This MUD is not yet in our §49.452 archive. We'll add it on request.

Texas Water Code §49.452 requires districts to publish annual notices with tax rate, bonded indebtedness, and assessed value. Most Harris-area MUDs publish these; a handful managed by Inframark do not.

Request this notice
● What this tells you

The §49.452 notice is the only public document that lists a MUD's exact tax rate, outstanding bond debt, and the assessed value used to compute your taxes — direct from the district, not the MLS. If the district is newer or has more bonds outstanding than its neighbors, your effective tax rate will be higher here than just across the street.
