Sargent is a charming unincorporated coastal community in Matagorda County, situated along State Highway 457, the area's primary north-south corridor. The Property enjoys excellent visibility directly across from a Dollar General and benefits from dual frontage on SH-457 and County Road 286, capturing both resident and traveler traffic.
Sargent's location provides convenient access to major Gulf Coast destinations: approximately 30 minutes to Freeport and Lake Jackson, 80 minutes to Houston, 90 minutes to Galveston, and 155 miles to Corpus Christi. This connectivity links the site to key employment, industrial, and tourism centers along the Texas coast.
The local economy is bolstered by agriculture, commercial fishing, energy sector operations, and tourism. Matagorda County features major employers such as the South Texas Project Nuclear Operating Company and Tenaris, alongside healthcare, education, and government services. In Sargent, community draws include Sargent Elementary School, marinas, local businesses, and abundant coastal attractions, Sargent Beach, the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, and Matagorda Bay; which fuel seasonal visitor traffic and sustained retail demand from residents, weekenders, and vacationers.
The trade area benefits from Matagorda County's population of approximately 36,000–36,600 (with recent estimates around 36,596 in 2024), while the immediate 10-mile radius supports roughly 2,700–4,400 residents (varying by source and CCD boundaries), with an average household income exceeding $79,000. This blend of stable local demand, highway exposure, coastal recreation appeal, and proximity to larger markets positions the Property to capture consistent consumer traffic from year-round residents, seasonal visitors, and regional travelers.
This modern retail/flex building offers rare flexibility, prime location, and significant business upside in a growing coastal corridor; ideal for the next successful venture at an attractive entry point.
