Lake Travis Waterfront Opportunity

Lake Travis Waterfront- You’ve arrived. Step through the veil into your own private retreat—hidden along the tranquil shores of Lake Travis within the enchanting Trails End community. This extraordinary 5.8+ acre sanctuary, spanning four legal lots, feels like something out of a fairytale. Untouched hilly wilderness, shaded by towering oaks and old-growth Ashe juniper, rolls gently down toward the water’s edge. Dappled light dances across native undergrowth, and the air hums with the quiet meeting of water and land. The 3-bedroom, 1-bath main house offers a comfortable foothold, surrounded by multiple outbuildings that hint at both utility and untapped potential. Winding woodland paths lead you to a rustic cabin perched at the water’s edge, where panoramic lake views stretch across 200+ feet of private waterfront reaching 630 feet in depth, deeded to the center of the Lime Creek arm of Lake Travis. This isn’t “just another waterfront lot.” It’s a canvas of dreams—a sanctuary cloaked in trees, where water meets stone and architecture meets poetry. “Picture waking before dawn, stepping from your cabin to the water’s edge as mist hovers over the lake. Sunlight filters through cedar limbs as you walk back up through ferns to the main house, past a workshop where your plans for an elevated glass-walled residence take shape. At dusk, your private dock glows softly against the dark water. This land isn’t just a site—it’s a living stage for the life you were meant to craft.” With shoreline eligible for a private boat dock, this property opens a realm of possibilities: multiple building sites, each with its own breathtaking lake vista. The natural lake view will remain protected, as development across the lake is restricted due to the Sandy Creek parklands, preserving your panoramic serenity for generations to come. Surrounding estates in the area exceed $5M+, underscoring the potential for a true architectural masterpiece here. And remarkably, this is the largest lakefront lot within 30 minutes of downtown Austin—a rare blend of scale, privacy, and proximity. Enjoy the peaceful rhythm of lake life while staying minutes from modern convenience—just 20 minutes to Whole Foods Market, HEB Plus, Target, Costco, and Lakeline Mall, with additional dining and shopping along 1431 and 183A. Located within Leander Independent School District (LISD)—serving over 42,000 students across 200+ square miles—this property offers a rare combination of natural beauty, privacy, and accessibility. Trails End Community is an eclectic, laid-back lake-life enclave of acreage waterfront properties with no city taxes and a serene, natural feel. Residents enjoy starry skies, generous space, and access to the private HOA park, featuring a boat ramp, day dock, gazebo, and outdoor kitchen—all maintained for a modest annual dues of just $150. Light HOA restrictions preserve the tranquil character of the neighborhood while allowing creative freedom to craft your vision. A thoughtful note from the sellers: Welcome to a home where every corner holds a piece of a beautiful story. More than a house, this is a true sanctuary, meticulously cared for and, in many ways, built from the ground up with love. For over 30 years, my husband poured his heart into this home, personally laying the floors and adding the roof, a testament to the enduring quality and soul you feel the moment you step inside. Since we settled here in Leander in 2004 after meeting in Colombia, this has been our family's haven. Our guests have always commented on the warm, welcoming energy that fills the rooms, a feeling that we hope the next owners will embrace. This location offered an idyllic childhood for our son, Jaime, and daughter, Daniela. They grew up enjoying the benefits of life near the lake, spending countless summer days boating, swimming, and playing in the water. For their education, they attended the highly-regarded Leander ISD schools for middle and high school, a significant benefit for any growing family. Now that our children are grown professionals and my husband has retired, it’s time for us to embrace a new chapter of travel and adventure. But leaving is bittersweet. Just weeks ago, our son, now 32, returned for a visit and told us, " thank you for being good parents. This place has been sacred and full of unforgettable memories." We are searching for a new family who will feel the same magic and deep connection we have felt here. While we don't know what plans the future owners have for this property, whatever they choose to build, improve, or create here, we know it will be just as magical as the home and life we built. This is more than a sale; it’s passing on a piece of our heart.
