Posted by Eric on 9-09-16 in Lake LBJ Real Estate, Sunrise Beach | Comments Off on Not in MLS: Sunrise Beach waterfront cabin + private island

Every once in a while on Lake LBJ there comes available a very unique opportunity to own a unique piece of Lake LBJ Real Estate.  136 Winding Way is just that.  This recently built (2009) waterfront cabin is hidden amongst the trees on this beautiful lush waterfront lot in the heart of Sunrise Beach.  The cabin is a log-style home with 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths + sleeping loft and approx 1886 sq ft with a open floor plan, stainless appliances and gas cooking.  The wrap-around porch looks out over the lush green St Augustine grass, gorgeous granite outcroppings and gorgeous Lake LBJ.  The steel and cedar boat dock was built in 2013 and offers great value to this property but best of all is when you step across the bridge which leads to your own private island on Lake LBJ.  You have to see this piece of Lake LBJ Real Estate to believe it.  This is special!

Post Summer/Election Season is the time to strike!

Posted by Eric on 9-09-16 in Lake LBJ Real Estate | Comments Off on Post Summer/Election Season is the time to strike!

If you have ever considered purchasing waterfront real estate on Lake LBJ, now may be the perfect time to strike.  As oil prices continue to fluctuate between $40 and $50/barrel with some analysts seeing a drop below $40 and as the country waits for the November elections to determine the fate of our country, sellers whose properties have sat are anxious to make a deal. As the summer winds down, showings will also follow suit and sellers will take note of the decline and perk up at the talks of any potential buyers considering their Lake LBJ home.

I personally see this as typical seasonal fluctuation in the market and once the election passes, oil will rise, political turmoil will quiet down and it will be smooth sailing again on Lake LBJ.  In fact, when you consider the fact that there are under 3,000 waterfront single family homes and lots on the entire Lake LBJ and compare that too the massive population explosion Texas has witnessed over the last few years, it doesn’t take a genius to realize this prime waterfront real estate is rather scarce.  Any time you have the opportunity to purchase good water on Lake LBJ at a discount, you should take it.

Inventory is still pretty light but I have a few sleepers that I believe are awesome opportunities and have sat only because of poor marketing and being originally overpriced.  If you or someone you know is interested in purchasing a waterfront home on Lake LBJ, contact me today at (512) 786-1515.  I know how make you money with Lake LBJ real estate on a property you will enjoy for many years to come!

Chick-Fil-A Coming to Marble Falls

Posted by Eric on 8-08-16 in Lake LBJ Real Estate, Marble Falls | Comments Off on Chick-Fil-A Coming to Marble Falls

Exciting news for Lake LBJ goers!  Chick-Fil-A has submitted plans to build its newest location right here in Marble Falls, Texas.  According to city officials the proposed located is at the corner of  Commerce and the 2100 block of U.S. 281, the site of the former Edgar Funeral Home.  Chick-fil-A is expected to be open in early 2017 and will make a huge addition to the city of Marble Falls offering a nice option for fast food.

This really is a sign of all of the expansion and growth the region is seeing and in my opinion great news for Lake LBJ Real Estate.  As Austin continues to expand out west and surrounding major Texas cities continue to bust at the seems with new people the demand for waterfront in Texas has shot through the roof.  Its also nice to know that some big companies such as Chick-fil-A are seeing Marble Falls as a place they can get the volume they need for success.

Horseshoe Bay Announces Management Agreement with Crescent

Posted by Eric on 8-08-16 in Everything Else | Comments Off on Horseshoe Bay Announces Management Agreement with Crescent

Big news coming out of the Texas Hill Country!  The Jaffe family on behalf of he Horseshoe Bay Resort has entered into a management agreement with well-known Crescent Hotels and Resorts.  This long awaited announcement comes after many years of finding the right partnership or suitable buyer for the Horseshoe Bay Resort.

According to the company’s press release Crescent will begin a multimillion dollar improvement/expansion project beginning in late 2016 to include upgrading existing amenities as well as adding new ones.

Crescent Hotels & Resorts is a nationally recognized top-5 operator of hotels and resorts that currently operates over 100 hotels and resorts in the United States and Canada. Crescent operates a collection of legendary independent lifestyle hotels and resorts and is also one of the few elite management companies approved to operate upper-upscale and luxury hotels under the brand families of Marriott, Hilton, Starwood, Hyatt and IHG.

This is great news coming out of Horseshoe Bay.  As a Lake LBJ Real Estate expert I believe this is a big improvement to the already great resort.  I believe that bringing in a well-known operator that has experience with these types of resorts will really add value for both members and guests.  Lake LBJ is such a well-known and premier location in the Texas Hill Country and its important that the resort lives up to and exemplifies the high quality and luxury expectations of resort goers.  With so much great real estate in the area and perfect proximity to major Texas cities such as San Antonio, Houston, Dallas and Austin this is a perfect time for such a move.

Congratulations to the Jaffe family and the Horseshoe Bay Resort on getting this deal done!  I look forward to seeing what in store for the resort in the coming years.  If you or someone you know is interested in learning more about Horseshoe Bay Real Estate, contact me today at (512) 786-1515

Blue Lake Estates 4 bed on Great Water

Posted by Eric on 7-07-16 in Blue Lake Estates, Horseshoe Bay Real Estate | Comments Off on Blue Lake Estates 4 bed on Great Water

Everyone wants to be in Blue Lake Estates as it is arguably the best and most desired part of Lake LBJ.  The closest part of Lake LBJ to Austin, the amazing 9 hole golf course right in the neighborhood, prestigious Horseshoe Bay address and the beautiful lush green lawns that are so admired by lake goers are just a few reasons why Blue Lake is in such high demand.  But for most, Blue Lake Estates is typically out of budget.  Today I have good news:

My newest PreMLS listing in Blue Lake Estates is a 4 bedroom, 2 full bath, 2 half bath with approx 2800 sq ft on amazing water and is listed at $899,000.  Better yet this property is being sold fully furnished and includes a 2007 Kayot and Yamaha Waverunner.  This property has a first floor master, very open concept including vaulted ceilings in the living room, stone fireplace, built in bar, and secondary living room upstairs.  This is what I call a perfect floor plan.  While this property is considered a town home, it is one of three total, free-standing with tons of space in between the neighboring units and is essentially a single family home as far as I am concerned.

It should also be noted that both HVAC units in the property have been recently replaced.

We hope you like it!
