Sandbar Estates on South Padre Island is an 11-acre development that spans from Highway 100 to the Gulf of Mexico. It is an exclusive, gated community offering 15 proposed luxury, gulf-front homes for sale.


One homesite is 75-feet wide and approximately 1-acre in total area. The home is the award-winning, Southern Living Coastal design “St. Helena” floor plan which features up to 4,200 square feet of living space, 4-bedrooms, 4-bathrooms, 2 car garage, and decks overlooking the waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

The developer, Paul Earnhart, has spent his entire 45-year career in construction, real estate sales, and resort hospitality, primarily in Florida. While Texas does not require licensing of builders, Florida does, and the owner achieved the level of Certified Builder. This allowed him to construct all residential types and commercial buildings up to three stories. Being from Florida, awareness of the special building requirements for oceanfront homes along the Gulf is rooted in decades of experience, engineering and construction plans for the homes at Sandbar Estates to be far in excess of the highest standards that the state of Texas requires for coastal properties.
