    New Galveston Island development floats active lifestyle for residents

    As locals know, the real estate market in Galveston is red-hot and shows no sign of cooling. To that end, a Houston-based developer, Wan Bridge, has announced plans to develop a build-to-rent community in the area. Palm Bay on Galveston Island will boast 94 single family homes in the Bayside at Waterman’s community.

    Located at the 4500 block of Stewart Road, Palm Bay is located on Lake Como, an inlet of Galveston Bay that features Galveston Country Club, the only golf club on the island.

    Construction is set to begin in December 2020.

    Homes will offer up a signature island aesthetic that will evoke the architectural style of other Gulf Coast resort communities such as Seaside, Texas and Water Color, Florida, according to a press release.

    Palm Bay will feature both three- and four-bedrooms options with 2.5 bathrooms and living areas spanning 1,600 to 1,800 square feet. More than 20 condominiums located in the neighborhood’s “Fish Camp Reserve” are also planned.

    Seafaring tenants can access amenities including access to the beach and direct access to the bay, plus boat rentals. With Palm Bay’s close proximity to the country club, state park, and Waterman’s Marina and Restaurant, tenants can lead an active lifestyle, without the hassle of homeownership, per a press release.

    “Bringing the first BTR community to Galveston Island is an honor that we are excited about,” said Kevin Stuckey, senior vice president of development for Wan Bridge, in a statement. “Whether an island newcomer or longtime resident, we look forward to offering both long-term rental homes and condominiums that are always in demand on Galveston Island.”

    Houston-area ranch tied to Stephen F. Austin hits the market at $14.8M

    The historic Estancia Pueblo Viejo Ranch in Sealy is listed for $14.8 million.

    If you can rustle up $14.8 million, you can purchase a 91-acre ranch nearly 50 miles west of Houston that’s a piece of Texas history.

    The Estancia Pueblo Viejo Ranch, situated about eight miles east of Sealy near I-10, is located on property within Stephen F. Austin land-grant territory.

    In the early 1800s, Austin — nicknamed the “Father of Texas” — obtained land grants to colonize what then was part of Mexico. The number of land-grant recipients totaled 297, including Austin, according to the Texas State Historical Commission. The settlers came to be known as Austin’s Old 300, even though the number of grantees was three shy of that number.

    Nestled along the Brazos River, the Estancia Pueblo Viejo Ranch (3401 Pueblo Viejo Ln., Sealy) was designed by Kai Geschke and built by Kirksey Homes in 2020. The 6,777-square-foot main house features four bedrooms, four bathrooms, and two partial bathrooms.

    “The single-story main home showcases masterful craftsmanship, premium finishes, and a timeless design with world-class masonry and woodworking found throughout the property,” say real estate agents Walter Bering and Linda Plant of Houston-based Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty, which has the listing.

    Former polo players John Hall and Leigh Anne Schnell Hall are selling the ranch. They’re the father and stepmother of trophy-winning professional polo player Jeff Hall.

    A barn on the estate is inspired by a legendary Argentine polo barn and features eight oversized stalls, air-conditioned tack room, reclaimed algarrobo doors, quebracho wood countertops, and vintage railroad spikes as functional art.

    Highlights of the gated estate include:

    • Primary suite with river views.
    • Guest suite with kitchenette.
    • His-and-hers offices.
    • Gym and sauna.
    • Screened-in porch.
    • Butler’s pantry.
    • Infinity-edge swimming pool.
    • Winery and vineyard.
    • Barn with eight horse stalls and a two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment equipped with a kitchen.
    • Staff quarters with three apartments and a 3,200-square-foot equipment shop.
    • 125-kilowatt power generator.
