Overview

§ 01

Enjoy the Gulf view from this beachside retreat that comfortably sleeps 12 and is perfect for large families or groups. Pull into the oversized concrete driveway with plenty of room for parking, an oversized garage, sand shower, and picnic table. Upstairs, the partially shaded deck offers a Gulf view down Clara along with shady areas to escape the sun and sunny areas to bask in the glow. Step inside to find a vaulted ceiling in the spacious living area, which opens into the kitchen. The kitchen has been custom built with stainless steel appliances, gorgeous granite countertops, and turquoise kitchen island topped with stained butcher block. The split floorplan tucks the primary suite behind the kitchen. The private primary suite features a king size bed and en-suite bathroom with fantastic natural light. The secondary bedrooms both have a queen bed and a twin-over-full bunk bed in each. ***HVAC replaced in March '24, grinder pump replaced in 2023.***

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.
