Property Description
“Summer Place” is one of Port Aransas’ most iconic coastal properties, rich in history and timeless charm. Built in 1947 by George Burris as a private hunting and fishing lodge, this legendary home was extensively remodeled in 2000 while preserving its original natural wood paneling and shiplap walls, maintaining the authentic coastal lodge character that makes it so special.Perched high on a large sand dune just one block from the beach, this 5,500-square-foot estate offers breathtaking Gulf views, privacy, and resort-style living. As you approach the property, the sense of privacy and serenity is immediate. Mature landscaping, coastal breezes, and the elevated positioning of the estate create a feeling of exclusivity rarely found.The home’s commanding elevation delivers extraordinary views.Designed for entertaining & large gatherings, the home features 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, comfortably accommodating up to 14 guests. Two spacious primary suites,expansive living areas, a gourmet kitchen, and an oversized dining area seating up to 24 guests make it ideal for reunions, corporate retreats, fishing groups, or holiday gatherings.Inside, guests enjoy a true “home away from home” atmosphere with a pool table, wet bar, card table, lounge seating, and oversized windows that fill the home with natural light & stunning views.Outdoor living is equally impressive with a resort-style pool, expansive decks, palapa, and outdoor kitchen designed for entertaining and relaxing after a day at the beach.The upper deck captures panoramic views and unforgettable sunrises. Summer Place has weathered many coastal storms over the decades and has long been considered a place of refuge and resilience for generations.A rare concrete basement offers endless possibilities for a game room, gym, meeting area, or additional entertainment space.
