About this property
Set on prestigious Eck Lane, 4424 Eck Lane offers 3.35 acres, 300+ feet of Lake Travis frontage, elevated limestone topography, and direct access to deep water even during recent drought conditions.

Existing improvements allow the property to be enjoyed now while a future main residence is planned. Features include a renovated historic limestone cabin, an 1800s historic home, a Shiflet-designed guest house, and waterfront infrastructure with tram access, boat lift, motorized swim platform, and capacity for a boat up to 28 feet. Conceptual work from Lake Flato Architects and Shiflet Group Architects conveys, offering a thoughtful starting point for siting, scale, and architectural direction. The elevated shelf provides strong lake presence, privacy, and improved dock performance supported by consistent water depth.
