With approximately 78 feet of Lake Travis waterfront in Hudson Bend, this wooded lot offers a rare opportunity to own a private place on the lake. The property is relatively level at the top before sloping toward the water, with access to a protected cove for swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding and enjoying the lake away from the busier main basin. There is plenty of room to imagine the property in different ways, whether that means creating a simple weekend retreat, improving access to the water with steps or a tram, or just having your own quiet place to spend time on Lake Travis. Mature trees provide shade and privacy, and the natural setting feels surprisingly removed while still being close to everything you need. Mansfield Dam Park, area marinas and some of Hudson Bend's favorite local restaurants and hangouts are just minutes away. Randalls is approximately seven minutes from the property, with additional shopping, dining and entertainment at the Hill Country Galleria about 15 minutes away. Downtown Austin is roughly 30 minutes away. The property is subject to limited deed restrictions. For someone looking for waterfront in Hudson Bend with privacy, cove access and the flexibility to create a place that works for them, this is an unusual opportunity to own 78 feet of Lake Travis shoreline.
