Peninsula project: A master-planned beachfront community. A golf course complete with country club, pro shop, spa and fitness lounge. Retail catering to owners of hundreds of new, high-end homes.
Is Bolivar Peninsula ready for all this? Developer David Birdsall thinks so.
Birdsall is the principal in the development group behind Avocet, a master-planned community intended for 144 acres, seven miles east of the ferry landing on state Highway 87.
Hawaii resident Birdsall promises Avocet will be unlike any other development in Galveston County or on the Texas coast for that matter. Birdsall heads a group that has acquired nearly 600 contiguous acres on the peninsula.
The group also has acquired Rancho Carribé, a nine-hole golf course on Crystal Beach, with plans for major improvements. The group is considering adding nine holes to the course or turning it into a Professional Golfers’ Association training facility.
The development will eventually include about 412 home sites. Lot prices range from $75,000 to $325,000. Home prices will start at $400,000.

Beach Club
Avocet’s showcase amenity is a fabulous, centrally located beach club designed by world-renowned architect Peter Vincent. Open only to residents and their guests, the beach club’s design incorporates a large pavilion for indoor/outdoor use. Two sparkling swimming pools invite residents to cool off in the crystal clear blue water or simply bask in the sun. A gourmet kitchen and wine cellar allow visitors to taste the finest that life has to offer. Entertainment is as close as the beach club’s library and media room. The business center enables residents to stay in touch with the world without leaving the comforts of Avocet.
With so much to do, the beach club is destined to be a hub for socializing with neighbors, friends and family.
Gated Entrance
Privacy, security and visual appeal all played integral roles in the design of Avocet's gated entrance. It is your passage into the relaxing world of a resort beachfront community like no other.
Avocet Green
The inviting lawn of Avocet Green is a wonderful transition space between the beach and the community. Ideal for picnics and other family gatherings, this common area is sure to be a hit with residents.
Landscaping
The entire community will be generously landscaped by one of the area's premier landscape architect firms – Clark Condon, and installed by the meticulous Landscape Art. From incorporating native plants to exotic splashes of color, the landscaping will create a perfect backdrop for luxury vacation residences.
Golf
An invigorating round of golf is never more than walking distance away at the neighboring golf course. Real golf-lovers may want to select one of the few lots that overlooks the golf course's manicured fairways. |
