14279 Shadow Bay Dr is a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home of 2,128 square feet on its own 0.2108 acre deeded lot in the Shadow Bay subdivision of Willis, Texas. At 2,128 square feet it is one of the larger floor plans available anywhere near Lake Conroe under $150,000, and it is laid out as a true split plan: the primary suite occupies one end of the home with a walk-in closet and its own bath, and the three other bedrooms sit at the far end, separated by a living room that runs nearly 27 feet.
The living room has a corner wood burning fireplace and a vaulted ceiling with crown molding. New water resistant laminate flooring went into the living and dining rooms in 2026. The kitchen has an island with the cooktop, a breakfast bar, a pantry and a full run of white cabinets. The primary bath has a double vanity and a walk-in shower with a sliding glass door. The second bath has a single vanity and a tub and shower combination. There is an interior utility room with washer and electric dryer connections.
Outside there is a covered front porch and a fenced backyard on a lot shaded by mature pines. The home has been releveled, pressure washed, pest treated and deep cleaned, and it is vacant and easy to show. It is sold as-is. Owner financing is available and terms are negotiable directly with the seller.

At 2,128 square feet this is one of the largest floor plans you will find in this price band near Lake Conroe. Four bedroom homes under $150,000 are uncommon in Willis, and most of the ones that exist are smaller.
The primary suite sits at one end of the home with its own bath and a walk-in closet. The three other bedrooms are at the far end, with the living room, dining area and kitchen in between. That is real separation, not a hallway.
The 0.2108 acre lot is deeded and conveys with the home. No lot rent, no ground lease. That is the difference between building equity and renting dirt, and it is what separates this from most manufactured homes at this price.
This home is a 1998 doublewide on its own deeded lot, and the home is currently titled as personal property rather than real property. That one fact drives every financing path below, so it is worth understanding before you write an offer.
The simplest path. Nothing about the personal property title complicates a cash purchase.
Sometimes called chattel financing. These lenders finance the home itself as personal property and are used to this exact situation. Several operate throughout the Lake Conroe area. This is the most common financing route for a home titled this way.
Terms are negotiable, which is uncommon at this price point. Contact Sean McFarlin to discuss.
These require the home to be titled as real property, not personal property. Converting the title is possible through the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs, but under Texas law the conversion requires the home's owner to also own the land, which does not happen until the buyer closes on both. That means the conversion has to be sequenced at or immediately after closing, and it needs to be confirmed with your lender and the title company before going under contract rather than at the closing table. Sean will walk your lender through it.
The lot and the home have separate owners and separate titles, so they convey by two instruments at one closing: a deed for the land, and a bill of sale plus a TDHCA Statement of Ownership for the home. Same closing, same day, same total price. Your buyer is protected because each side is conditioned on the other closing and funding.
Every lender sets its own overlays. Confirm program eligibility with your loan officer before writing an offer, and confirm any title conversion with your lender and the title company before going under contract. Sean can walk your lender or title company through how a home titled as personal property is handled in Montgomery County.
Shadow Bay sits on the north side of Lake Conroe in Willis, Texas, in Montgomery County. It is minutes from public boat ramps, marinas and the I-45 corridor, which is what keeps this pocket of Willis in demand with both weekend-lake buyers and everyday commuters.
Schools. The property is in Willis ISD. Buyers should confirm assigned campuses directly with the district, since zoning changes over time.
Getting around. The Woodlands is roughly 35 minutes south, downtown Houston is about an hour, and Huntsville and the Sam Houston National Forest are a short drive north.
