VINEYARD BAY
Most lake living is a compromise — long drives, weekend-only access, the city always pulling you back. This isn't that. Vineyard Bay sits on the shores of Lake Travis in a gated community where the boat dock is a short walk from your front door, trails run behind the property, and the water is part of the daily rhythm — not just a weekend treat.
The home itself is nearly 6,000 sf on 1.4 acres, built in 2007 and meaningfully updated throughout. The kitchen has been overhauled with new countertops, backsplash, and lighting. The primary suite got the same attention — updated countertops, new lighting, and window treatments. A Crestron smart home system runs audio, visual, and lighting throughout, with smart thermostats on every level. The mechanical side is equally solid: all four AC units and furnaces have been replaced, the main water heater is new, and solar is installed. This is a home that's been genuinely maintained, not just staged for sale.
Outside is where it earns its keep. The pool, hot tub and outdoor entertainment space all enjoy picture perfect views of Lake Travis and the hill country. The front courtyard sets the tone with a new stone walkway, fountain, and updated landscaping — it's the kind of arrival that feels perfect for the setting. A Cobalt 232 Bowrider conveys with the property, making the community dock less of an amenity and more of a direct extension of your backyard.
The lake doesn't ask you to give anything up. Downtown Austin is 35 minutes away, the Domain about 25, the Galleria at Bee Cave less than 15, and the airport under 45. Vineyard Bay sits at the sweet spot where you can do school drop-off, have a morning meeting, and still be on the water by noon. The gated community, trails, and boat dock take care of the rest. Lake living at this level — with a home this dialed-in — rarely comes available twice.
