Very well off Colleyville family looking for beachhouse
We want a place on the water (of course) with houses to fit a ~$200,000/yr income on the water, and not too far from Colleyville (no more than 2 1/2 hour drive)
Any such beachtowns?

Why don't you just take your Gulfstream V?

The keyword in your question is "beachtown". There are several lakes that have some awesome waterfront properties but don't have a beach that you can just swim in. Lake Granbury in Granbury and Lake Ray Hubbard in Rockwall are very nice lakes that I would consider for a waterfront property.
Both places would put you less than 2 hours from Colleyville.
Are you looking for a weekend getaway place or more along a permanent move.

You have located Colleyville on a map, right? |

One would think that someone so well off could afford the services of a competent real estate agent.
Or at least a decent map.

Re:
Also, this is Dallas. $200K qualifies as upper-middle-class, not "very well off".

???
According to stats, median income for a family in DFW is $42K.
$200K is about 5 times of the median, which is actually upper class.
For the USA, 200K income is within like the top 5% of US income per household.
They may have lots of money in investments, millions maybe? Maybe $200K is just interest they earn from their money? |

Or maybe it's some obnoxious blowhard who desperately wants people to know how important he thinks he is.
