Overview

§ 01

Fall in love with this charming 3 bedroom, 2 bath beachfront cottage nestled on the peaceful shores of Gilchrist Beach on the Bolivar Peninsula. With your own private dune walkover, you can stroll hand-in-hand across the sand to the edge of the Gulf, where sunrises paint the sky in soft pastels each morning.

Sway in the coastal breeze on the spacious deck, take in the endless views, and create unforgettable moments under the stars. A cargo lift adds ease to your coastal lifestyle, and the generous space below invites candlelit dinners, bonfires, or lazy afternoons in a hammock.

Whether you’re dreaming of a personal escape or an enchanting vacation rental, this home is full of potential—and ready to make it your own.

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.
