4829 Bluewater Highway, Freeport TX: Brand-New, Gulf-View, and a Short Walk to the Sand
What is for sale at 4829 Bluewater Highway in Freeport, TX?

4829 Bluewater Highway checks the big boxes: new construction, elevated views, beach access, and bay access for your boat. Below you'll find what you get, who it fits, and the two questions every smart buyer asks about a new coastal home. (Hint: taxes and windstorm. Stay with me.)

What You Get: New, Bright, and Built for Beach Life
The open-concept layout keeps the kitchen, dining, and living space connected. That matters at the beach. Nobody wants to be stuck in the kitchen while everyone else is watching the sunrise.
- Brand-new construction, so no one else's wear and tear and no "what's that smell?" moments.
- Elevated Gulf views and sunrise over the water. That's your coffee view, every single morning.
- Chef-style kitchen with quartz countertops and stainless appliances.
- Designer tile showers and modern finishes throughout.
- 2-stage, energy-efficient A/C, which runs steadier and smarter in Texas coastal humidity.
- Laminate flooring that handles sandy feet and wet swimsuits.
- Raised foundation and a detached carport for shade and storage.
- Community boat ramp to Drum Bay for fishing, kayaking, and bay days.
Location: Beach on One Side, Bay on the Other
On the Texas Gulf Coast, price is driven first by location: how close you are to the beach and whether you can see it. Square footage comes second. This home sits just moments from the beach and Bluewater Highway, with elevated views of the Gulf.
Then there's the bonus most beach homes don't have: a community boat ramp to Drum Bay. So you get Gulf-side beach days and calm bay-side fishing without hauling your boat across the county. Surfside Beach, Treasure Island, and the rest of the island are all an easy drive up Bluewater Highway.
Who This Home Is Built For
Full-time coastal living
Three bedrooms give you room for a home office, guests, or both. New systems mean you spend weekends on the beach, not on repairs.
The weekend and vacation home
Lock it up, drive down Friday, and your sunrise view is waiting. A $100-a-year HOA keeps holding costs light compared to a lot of coastal communities.
The short-term rental (STR) investor
New finishes, Gulf views, a walk to the beach, and bay access are exactly what vacation guests search for. Before you buy for STR, check current city and county rules plus any deed restrictions, and run realistic numbers on insurance and occupancy.
The Smart-Buyer Twist: Two Questions to Ask About Any New Coastal Home
1. "What will my taxes be after it's finished?"
Listed taxes: $394 per year. Here's the plain-English truth: on new construction, the current tax bill often reflects the land before the house was finished. Once the appraisal district adds the new home to the roll, taxes can go up a lot.
So don't budget on today's bill. Look up the property on the Brazoria County Appraisal District site and estimate taxes on the full value. The Texas Comptroller's property tax guide explains how it works. Cathy Carter is also a Texas Licensed Property Tax Consultant, so she can help you land on a realistic number before you write an offer.
2. "Is there a windstorm certificate?"
Along the Texas coast, new homes built to windstorm code can get a certificate of compliance. That paperwork can affect whether you can get windstorm coverage through the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA) and what you pay. Ask for it early. Learn more from the Texas Department of Insurance windstorm inspection program.
While you're at it, check the flood zone on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center and get insurance quotes before you fall in love. On the coast, insurance is part of the price.
