18205 Ridge Rd
About this property
Lake Travis living, made easy: hop the private tram down to your two-slip floating dock, or launch from the neighborhood boat ramp next door. 250 feet of shoreline and 3.43 acres give you room to spread out, with mature trees and park-like grounds buffering the house from the world. Step inside and the architecture does the work: vaulted wood ceilings, skylights, and oversized windows keep the water and Hill Country in view from nearly every room. The living room's wood-burning fireplace and built-in storage open straight onto an IPE deck over the cove, the natural spot for sunset watching. In the kitchen, granite counters, a center island, dual ovens, and a walk-in pantry mean you're never short on space for a crowd. Sleep on the main level, owner's suite included: two walk-in closets, Hill Country views, a jetted tub under the windows, and an oversized walk-in shower. Upstairs, a flexible attic space or bonus bedroom (new window, built-in shelving, 2024) leave room to grow — fourth bedroom, studio, whatever's needed. Outside: a fenced chicken coop, two storage sheds, and a garage workshop cover hobbies and gear. Recent updates take the guesswork out of ownership — new well pump (2023), main-area HVAC (2024), water softener and pressure tank replaced, vinyl siding added (2024).

Location
About the Area
18205 Ridge Rd is located in Lago Vista, Texas, in Travis County. Travis County is home to Austin, the capital of Texas and one of the fastest-growing major cities in the United States. Beyond the urban core, Travis County still contains significant ranch and acreage properties in its western reaches, where the Hill Country meets the city and land values reflect both agricultural heritage and proximity to one of America's most dynamic economies.
The Colorado River flows through Travis County, impounded into Lake Travis and Lake Austin, key recreation anchors for the region. The Balcones Escarpment marks the transition from the limestone Hill Country in the west to the Blackland Prairie in the east. Barton Creek and its tributaries carve spring-fed swimming holes and nature preserves within the urban fabric.
Lago Vista had an estimated population of 9,341 as of 2023. The 78645 zip code has a median household income of $108,393, a median home value of $387,200, and a median age of 51.6. The average household size is 2.3 people.
Austin's economy is anchored by the University of Texas, state government, and a massive technology sector that has attracted Apple, Tesla, Oracle, Dell, and hundreds of startups. Travis County acreage properties command premium prices reflecting proximity to the Austin job market, major airports, and world-class amenities.
