Austin, TX 78734 (Travis County)
About this property
Quiet mornings on a still cove and sunsets over the water set the pace here. This approximately 1.6-acre waterfront homesite sits on a secluded, deep-water cove of Lake Travis, with over 140 feet of shoreline facing north/northwest and wide, serene views. Mature live oaks shade a level, open building site that slopes gently to the water, creating a natural setting for a private lakeside estate. The cove is calm and protected, ideal for swimming, paddle boarding and kayaking steps from your own shore. When you want more of the lake, take the boat out to explore its coves and cliffs, or cruise to Crosswater Marina. Covered storage on site accommodates a boat or RV. The owner has completed full design diligence with LCRA and the county. Approved plans and permits are in place for an approximately 4,100 SF, 5-bedroom residence designed to capture the lakefront views. Septic is permitted and engineering is complete, allowing you to move directly to construction. Plans available to view upon offer. No HOA, minimal restrictions and a low tax rate of approximately 1.62%. The property is tucked on a quiet cul-de-sac outside the city limits of Lakeway, near Lakeway City Park. Site elevation is approximately 705' and should be verified by buyer. A rare chance to build your lakeside retreat with the groundwork already done.
