Boat, fish, and enjoy the Laguna Madre right from your backyard. This four-sided brick canal home in Tropic Isles is less than five minutes from open water, with no long idle through no-wake zones like many Padre Island canals. Some of the best fishing and hunting on the Laguna Madre is just minutes away.

Out back is where this home shines: a private dock with a new in 2024 6,500 lbs capacity boat lift, an observation deck with panoramic water and sunset views, a covered patio, and an outdoor kitchen. Lush tropical landscaping provides shade and privacy, and it produces fruit: blueberries, figs, grapes, bananas, and papaya.

Front and back yards are on separate drip irrigation systems, so it all stays green with almost no hands-on care. Inside, the open layout is bright and updated, with new lighting throughout including smart Philips Hue fixtures, stainless appliances, an oversized breakfast bar, a large pantry, and an indoor laundry room with a mudroom and storage area.

Three bedrooms and two baths in a comfortable 1,569 sqft: plenty of room without the upkeep of a larger home. The roof was replaced in 2018, and an elevation certificate is on file showing the home is out of the flood zone, so flood insurance is not required.

Furnishings are available by separate agreement, so it's ready to move in or rent out on day one. Whether it's your full-time home or a weekend boating and fishing retreat, this is island-style living without the bridge. Flour Bluff sits sheltered behind North Padre Island on the mainland side of the JFK Causeway, with no bridge to cross and no bridge traffic. Schedule your showing today.
