About this property
Private Dock + Lake Access! Set on 1.879 acres along a peaceful Lake Travis cove, this property brings together lake life, privacy, flexibility, and the right amount of personality. The main home has been thoughtfully updated and beautifully maintained, with large windows pulling natural light and Hill Country views into the open kitchen, living, and dining space. The primary suite is on the main level and comes with its own ensuite bath, walk-in closet, screened porch access, and a hidden bookcase door, because every lake house deserves at least one good secret. A second bedroom and another full bath are also on this level. Upstairs, you’ll find a third bedroom, another full bath, and a huge game room or flex space that opens to a large deck with panoramic lake and Hill Country views. A gated entrance adds privacy, while a paved road and cart path lead down to the private boat dock with a lift large enough to accommodate a sizable boat. Beyond the main house, a separate 2000+ sqft building adds a whole other layer of possibilities. With industrial air conditioning, insulated interior walls, a loft bedroom, and a full bath, it’s ready to become a workshop, studio, guest suite, toy garage, income-producing space, or something entirely your own. There’s also a detached shed ready for an office, additional storage, or whatever else you have in mind. Use it as a full-time residence, weekend escape, short-term rental, or flexible home base while planning something bigger for the property. Located approximately 10 minutes from 620 and 2222, near Cedar Park amenities, about 45 minutes from downtown Austin, and zoned to highly rated Vandegrift High School. Nearly two acres, a private dock, multiple buildings, and Lake Travis at the end of your cart path, this one has options most properties simply can’t offer. Buyer to verify all info.
