Custom Home on Baffin Bay

This is a rare opportunity to own an amazing custom built home with 100+ feet of Baffin Bay frontage. Just a few steps out of your back door you can be fishing in one of the best bay fishing areas in South Texas. The house sits on a finger of Baffin know as the Cayo del Grullo. Currently there is not a pier off of the back of the property. There are a number of great docks that the neighbors have built and have been nice enough to allow the current owners to utilize for fishing off at night under the lights or to just dock a boat.

The house is a 3 bedroom/2 bathroom house that will come fully furnished and it is beautiful. There is also a very nice porch out back to sit and have a bottle of wine while enjoying the evening breeze off the water. The custom home was built to withstand at least 250 mph hour winds. It is also one of the most efficient homes I have seen. This is definitely one of the finest homes we have had the pleasure of showing. The owners have thought of everything to make this the perfect place to live or an amazing place to have as a second home with an incredible fishing experience waiting off your back porch.

Improvements:

This beautiful custom home sits on Lot 17 in the North Loyola Beach community along the Baffin Bay Waterfront. The current owners have put a lot of love and care in the building of this home. The home was built in 2013 and is 2,2oo sq. ft. with a huge 2 car garage that has been extended on one side to fit the owner's 24' Majek. It has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The open layout of the kitchen and living area is gorgeous. The kitchen has all stainless steel appliances and has granite countertops with Hickory cabinets. There is also the nice touch of a small wine and coffee bar. Another unique touch to the home is the amazing fully enclosed outside shower that sits just off of the back porch. Perfect for rinsing off after a long day of fishing.

The home is built with ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) construction. The outside walls are 13" thick with 8.5 inches being solid concrete and 2.5 inches of insulation on the outside and inside of the walls. There are steel rebar set on 12" centers horizontally and vertically throughout the exterior walls. The windows are all impact resistant and can withstand a direct hit by a 2x4 going 50 mph. The type of construction has been tested to withstand 250 mph winds. When all the other homes are gone, this one will still be standing. This type of construction also creates a very energy efficient home. The average utility bill for the summer is approximately $130.00.

The home also has a 20 seer Trane central unit that has a dehumidifier running through it not only for energy efficiency, but protecting all the furnishings from the outside elements. There is a reverse osmosis system and water softener also installed. If one needs extra storage, there is a very nice shed that is perfect for putting all lawn equipment in outside. The lawn is a drought resistant grass called Celebration Bermuda, and a sprinkler system is installed. The owners have also spent in excess of $30,000 to have a bulkhead built to protect the property in times of storm surges.
