Welcome to The Bay House — a remarkable 20.38-acre private estate on the west shore of Galveston Bay, just 30 miles from downtown Houston. Behind a private gate, this one-of-a-kind property offers 849 feet of riprap-protected bay frontage and two expansive piers — including, per the owner, the longest private pier on Galveston Bay. Anchored by a beautifully restored historic home built in 1916, the estate also features a secondary residence, multiple guest houses, a spacious cabana, and a large storage warehouse. High-end interior finishes and extensive recreational amenities—including a resort-style pool, hot tub, tennis court, and outdoor kitchen—make this a premier coastal retreat. For those seeking adventure, the property’s piers offer direct access to fishing, kayaking, and sailing with the The Houston Yacht Club a short boat ride across Galveston Bay. This sanctuary is not just a home—it’s a lifestyle.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
