This deep-water Lake Travis property in Volente offers main-body waterfront, incredible lake views, and one of the best values currently available at its price point. With deep-water frontage, the property is well positioned for a future dock while already providing shoreline access. Elevated above the lake, the home captures sweeping lake views and year-round usability. The home will convey with newly purchased furnishings, allowing buyers to enjoy the property immediately or update at their own pace. Well suited for use as a private lake house or a potential short-term rental with approval from Village of Volente. The floor plan includes two bedrooms plus a study and three full bathrooms, with an open main level featuring a spacious kitchen, dining area, multiple living spaces and access to two expansive decks that extend the living space outdoors. The upper-level bedroom enjoys stunning lake views, private deck access, and a dedicated bath and study. Located in a quiet waterfront neighborhood with a single point of entry, the setting feels private while remaining highly convenient—just 10 minutes to Four Points (620 & 2222) for shopping, dining, and entertainment, and approximately 30 minutes to downtown Austin. The property is zoned to highly rated schools, including Grandview Hills, Four Points Middle, and Vandegrift High School, and is close to local favorites such as Volente Beach Club, Beachside Billy’s, Shack 512, Stiechen Park, and a nearby fire station. Offering deep water, main-lake access, panoramic views, and immediate usability, this property stands out as a rare opportunity on Lake Travis—priced at lot value and ready to enjoy from day one.
