Going up; Seagrass Beach homes swell on Bolivar Peninsula

BOLIVAR PENINSULA – NewCoast Properties has broken ground on a luxury beachfront community on Bolivar Peninsula that was stall amid Hurricane Ike.

Brad Ballard, founder of NewCoast Properties, plans to develop 35 homesites at Seagrass Beach, located on 33.5 acres off SH 87, about 11 miles west of SH 124 southeast of Houston.

The gated home lots, which average a little more than an acre, are priced from the low $200,000s.

The luxury community will feature unobstructed views of the Gulf of Mexico and several high-end amenities, including an 18-foot-tall elevated pool with six cabanas, a beachside fire pit, four manicured lawn areas and a stocked fishing pond.

The project already has five buyers lined up, and lot development and amenities are expected to be finished in the next four to five months.

NewCoast Properties also acquired nearby Laguna Harbor from Crown Team Texas LLC and plans to add a full-service marina, fuel dock and waterfront restaurant to the 80-acre luxury waterfront development..
