The evening is set with string lights and a BBQ smoker with plenty of room for a grill of your own.

As you wander down toward your private swim dock, you're first met with your very own fire pit and an additional picnic area just for you. While this home is situated perfectly on its own spacious lot with lake views and private lake access, there is room for growth should your heart desire a shop, a she-shed, an ADU, a space for your RV, boat, toys, and more. If you can dream it, you can have it here. This unique neighborhood is unrestricted, so building is easy. While this private and quiet home is serene and peaceful, you're still just 10 minutes or less from HEB, Target, Starbucks, and more. It really is in THE PERFECT location and has the most PERFECT views and privacy. This is not an HOA neighborhood; however, you can choose to join the TL Smith Park voluntary HOA for additional lakefront perks that include pavilions, a boat dock, a fishing dock, outdoor kitchens, grills, a kids' park, and more. The option is all yours. Don't wait; for this price, this rare lakefront home won't be on the market long.
