Austin, TX 78726 (Travis County)
About this property
Positioned along the shores of Lake Travis, this 1.085-acre waterfront homesite presents a rare opportunity to create a custom residence in a peaceful, naturally beautiful setting. Mature oak trees frame the property, while its western orientation captures striking sunset views across the water. Unlike many steep bluff lots in the area, this property offers a more gradual approach to the shoreline, enhancing both usability and overall design flexibility. Significant groundwork has already been completed, with infrastructure in place including a property gate, electricity, a private well, septic system, concrete driveway, RV pad, and thoughtfully designed walking paths with terraced landscaping. Recent enhancements—totaling over $150,000—include a newly drilled well, a 2,015-gallon galvanized water storage tank, and a floating dock (available separately?). Architectural plans and renderings have been prepared to take full advantage of the lot’s orientation, views, and natural surroundings, offering a strong starting point for a future build. This is an improved homesite only; construction of a residence is not included. Set in a scenic and private setting, the property is approximately 10 minutes from everyday conveniences, such as nearby shopping at H-E-B and Target and only 3 minutes to iconic destinations, including The Oasis on Lake Travis and Miravel Spa. Downtown Austin and The Domain are both within a 20–25 minute drive, offering convenient access to the greater Austin area while maintaining a sense of retreat. The property is also located within the highly regarded Leander ISD, including Vandegrift High School. Whether envisioned as a private residence, a weekend escape, or a potential investment with short-term rental considerations (buyer to verify), this is a rare opportunity to design and build in one of the most desirable close-in Lake Travis settings.
