250’ of Lake Travis shoreline anchor this 3.43-acre property, where a private tram carries you from the home directly down to the water — no long walk, just a quick ride to a two-slip floating dock ready for boats and lake gear. A neighborhood boat ramp nearby adds a second way on and off the water. The additional dock deck, currently covered, can be opened up for more open-air lounging whenever you want it. The house sits back among mature trees on park-like grounds, its architecture built around the setting: vaulted wood ceilings, skylights, and walls of large windows pull Hill Country views and Lake Travis light into nearly every room. A wood-burning fireplace with a brick surround anchors the living room, which opens directly onto a large IPE wood deck overlooking the cove — the natural gathering spot for evenings on the water. The kitchen is built for real use: granite counters, a center island, a built-in cooktop with downdraft ventilation, dual ovens, and a walk-in pantry give you the space to cook for two or twenty. Main-level living keeps most of the bedrooms on one floor, including an owner's suite with its own outdoor access, two walk-in closets, Hill Country views, and an ensuite with a dual vanity, jetted soaking tub beneath a bank of windows, and an oversized walk-in shower. Upstairs, a flexible attic space that can serve as a fourth bedroom — with built-in shelving and a 2024 window addition — leave room to add a fourth bedroom, studio, or hobby space. Outside, a fenced chicken coop, two storage sheds, and an oversized two-car garage with a workshop cover the practical side of lake living. Recent updates remove the guesswork for a new owner: main-area HVAC replaced March 2024, a new well pump installed July 2023 with a replaced water softener and pressure tank, and vinyl siding added in 2024. A metal roof with leaf-guard gutters and stone walkways round out an exterior built to hold up with minimal upkeep. This is 3.43 acres of privacy with direct, easy water access — the kind of setup that lets you use the lake instead of just looking at it.
