49 Shell Key is situated just 600 yards from the Intracoastal Waterway in the Harborwalk community. It is the only corner lot with direct views of the main channel, wetlands, and marina, as well as evening views of Moody Gardens lights.
This 13,254' home site has 110 feet of bulkhead and room for two boat houses. The evening views from 49 Shell Key onto the wetlands, marina, and Moody Gardens are nothing less than breathtaking.
49 Shell Key is pictured on the left side of the Harborwalk Community map, noted with a red star. It holds a prime position directly across from the marina on a corner lot next to walking trails, wetlands, and views straight down the sea channel to the intracoastal waterway.
Harborwalk is a 550 acre master planned waterfront community featuring 4+ miles of private canals.
Harborwalk's Highway 6 location offers the ideal balance of seclusion and convenience, allowing owners the ability to bypass the I-45 corridor traffic yet remain within a short drive of every Galveston marquee destination.
This community is guarded by manned and automatic gates, giving owners the privacy of a resort with the security of a controlled access neighborhood.
On land, residents enjoy resort-style pools, a fitness center, lighted tennis courts, putt put golf, a playground, kayak launches, private fishing piers, and miles of hike and bike trails through wetlands and green spaces.
A seven bedroom lodge and event center is available for entertaining guests, family, and special occasions.
Amenities available to residents include a full service marina with 180 aluminum truss floating slips accommodating vessels up to 125 feet, a two lane boat launch, fuel station with marine grade diesel and 93 octane gasoline, live bait system, and a ships store with deli and provisions.

49 Shell Key holds a prime position directly looking onto the marina.
It is also steps from Harborwalk Swim Center and walking trails.

49 Shell Key enjoys views from every direction.
Imagine spending the day boat watching with a book off of the balcony of your future custom home.
Even better, imagine walking out to your private boat dock and heading straight on to the intracoastal waterway that is just 600 yards from your new home.
Enjoy wildlife watching on the wetlands.
Roseate Spoonbills are amongst the 300 bird species that inhabit Galveston's coastal wetlands.
This protected environment offers 4+ miles of scenic paddling along the private residential canals, the Harborwalk South Channel, and out into the protected salt marshes and open waters of West Galveston Bay.
49 Shell Key also enjoys year round views of the Moody Gardens evening lights.
Idyllic views of the wetlands, marina, and intracoastal waterway make for the perfect weekend escape!
