Austin and central Texas offer a beautiful chain of lakes suitable for sailing, swimming, and jetskiing. There are a good number of lovely waterfront homes on the market currently which feature boat docks as well.
Waterfront land is not possible to duplicate, so homes which back to Lake Travis or Lake Austin have consistently appreciated over the years. I remember when I started in real estate in 1997 it was still possible to get a nice home on the water for $600,000! Clearly, this is no longer the case, but these homes have increased dramatically in value, and they remain a solid investment today.
Here are a couple of great examples of what we have to offer in Austin Texas:

This Lake Austin luxury waterfront home was built in 2007 and features over 4000 square feet per the builder, with 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths. Located in the exemplary Eanes school district (Westlake vicinity). Offered at $2,695,000. 


This Costa Bella dream home features a two-slip boat dock in the back yard, along with fabulous outdoor living spaces. Home features 9842 sq. ft. per the tax records. Gated community. 5-car garage! Panoramic views of Lake Travis. Offered at $5,395,000.

Jason - these are beautiful properties. I love the idea of being on the water like that.
That is a beautifully focused post directed at a specific niche. Nicely done.
I am being really awful at targeting my posts toward that niche I work.
Thanks for the Guilt!
:)
Absolutely beautiful! The photos are gorgeous! And I can't believe those prices. Living on the water is my dream. *sigh* Maybe some day.
Jason, These are beautiful homes! I would LOVE to have a lakefront home! When I first moved to Vegas, I wanted a home with a view of Lake Mead. It was out of my price range at the time (and still is) but that is my goal someday!
Great photos and post. Lucky you to be in Austin!
Two great homes, Jason. I'll be looking for a buyer. Would love to co-broke those with you! :)
Jason, Lake Travis is one of my all time favorites! Its cool crisp blue water is about perfect! I use to ski a lot there and had a ball. One of my best friends was a photographer so we would ski past Hippie Hollow and she would get pictures of the naked people...
Personally, I just liked to ski although she did get some really funny shots!
I was very young. Later in the rain~Deb
Jason- Great looking properties. I had no idea Austin and the surrounding areas were as cool looking as they appear to be. I guess I need to visit and see what is happening there!
Best,
Scott
Great Pictures!
Jason, great consumer post for Austin TX waterfront homes! I will take 1 of any of them!
