Perched along the shores of Lake Travis, this exceptional Dick Clark-designed residence offers a rare blend of architectural significance and premier waterfront living. Located at 1500 Buffalo Gap, the home sits in a deep water cove within a no-wake zone, providing calm waters, added privacy, and ideal conditions for year-round enjoyment. Designed to capture its breathtaking surroundings, the 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom layout features expansive windows framing sweeping 180-degree lake views. The west-facing rear orientation delivers spectacular sunsets over the water, creating a stunning backdrop for both daily living and entertaining. Clean lines, curated materials, and intentional design elements throughout reflect a modern yet timeless aesthetic. The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen areas flow seamlessly to multiple outdoor spaces, where a resort-style setting awaits. Enjoy a private pool, spa, and fire pit, all positioned to take full advantage of the panoramic views and serene setting. A private tram provides convenient access from the home to the water’s edge. The boat dock is well-equipped with a boat lift and three jet ski ramps, offering effortless access to everything Lake Travis has to offer. Despite its peaceful, tucked-away setting, the property is just minutes from the amenities of Lakeway and Bee Cave, with convenient access to shopping, dining, and daily essentials, as well as a manageable drive to downtown Austin. A rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind lakefront property where design, setting, and lifestyle come together.
