OCEAN FRONT BEACH PROPERTY CRYSTAL BEACH, TX.' Description Own your own 1.9 acre piece of Beach Front Oasis.  The property runs from the highway to the beach in Crystal Beach Tx.  It actually consists of 3 parcels that total 725' deep x 100' wide of beachfront.  My wife and I bought this property a few years ago with the intention of building our dream home but with a 5 year old, a 1 year old, and my third daughter about to be born in June it is time to sell.  We hate to, but our loss is your gain.  The property is located in Crystal Beach Tx. in an area called the Bolivar Peninsula, 20 minutes from Galveston, and 90 minutes from Houston.  It is a wonderful place with great fishing, beaches, birding, crabing, and more. It is easily accessible by Highway or by taking a 2 mile free ferry ride from Galveston.  You drive your car right onto the ferry, step out, and enjoy a wonderful 10 minute cruise accross Galveston Bay.  My daughter loves watching the dolphins swim, and the pelicans dive for fish.  We usually get a loaf of bread before boarding and feed the seagulls that follow you across the bay (It makes for wonderful pictures).  When you drive off the ferry its only 15 minutes to your beach front property.    You can build one large estate or 3 or more separate homes on the land.  The property is rare not only because of its size, but also because it is over 8 feet above sea level, is fully insurable, behind a protective barrier dune, and ready to be built on.  There are homes on either side of the property, and the Beach Front portion is a cleared grassy area that your neighbor mows for you.  There are homes built on either side of the property, and a bed and breakfast 2 homes to the east.  This area is loved by second home owners and investors alike since a home here can easily pay for itself by renting it out during the peak summer season.  Many people charge $1000 to $3000 per week to rent out their homes and are booked well in advance.  You get a vacation home and an investment that pays for itself and you can enjoy it as well.  This also allows you to fully deduct as a second home but still collect a rental income on your taxes, and pay for the property, the best of both worlds.  You can find alot of information about the area on the website www.crystalbeach.com .  I have the property listed with a local realtor and she can help you with any questions you have about the property.   Her name is Ann Nelson, and she can be reached at 409-939-0472.  If you want to take a look at the property she can arrange for a beach rental for your stay.  My wife and I fell in love with the area, and I am sure you will once you have seen it.  The pictures are of the actual lot.   I made a google maps satalite link but I am not sure if it works. http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?f=q&hl=en&ie=UTF8&msa=0&ll=29.495358,-94.532504&spn=0.002031,0.005&t=h&z=18&msid=117526372030666001142.00044e79d9ce89dcd582d  Place a Bid!
