Lake LBJ’s Crown Jewel
If you like to invest in elite tracts of property that are truly scarce, this one is a must see on Lake LBJ. . This property is approximately 1.2 acres with 800 ft of waterfront on Lake LBJ and if you know anything about Lake LBJ you know that properties like this are very hard to come by. There is only one like it:
Granite Shoals Waterfront Lot with Existing Boat House
Check out this prime piece of Lake LBJ Real Estate. 232 Green Acres is one of the prettiest lots left on Lake LBJ and with over 113 feet of waterfront you will not find a better value in this price range. Green Acres is one of the nicest streets in Granite Shoals and is home to multiple million dollar + homes on the street. In fact the neighboring properties each have a market value of over 1 million and a recent sale two houses down at 224 Green Acres was recently listed at $1,775,000 and went pending in 17 days on the market. It has not closed as of the date of this post
The lot has an existing, steel constructed boat house which has a “Grandfathered” bathroom which is no longer allowed on Lake LBJ. The current owners use the storage and bathroom as a place to stay for the weekend. In my opinion this structure has a value of approx. 50k and has a boat slip and wave runner ramp with electric lifts.
The lot also has an existing septic system on the property.
We priced this lot at $500,000 and based our value on the finish value of a home that one could build. Of course I know that any buyer that would risk their cash and purchasing power, and go through the design and build phase would want some equity on the final product and that is factored in to our price.

Lake LBJ’s Crown Jewel

This 1.2 acre site offers some of the most beautiful waterfront money can buy and with 800 ft of wide open, east facing frontage, it is likely you will not see another property like this come up for sale in your lifetime.

Words cannot describe what this property has to offer and in fact when you walk it for yourself it will immediately take your breath.
The property offers a 3 bed, 2 bath summer cabin along with an additional bunk room out in the boat house complete with full bathroom and additional storage.

How Texas Boom Towns Affect Lake LBJ Real Estate
According to Forbes, Austin was named the #1 out of the 53 largest metro areas in the country as the next boom town. Houston, Dallas and San Antonio were not far behind at #s 6, 7 and 8 respectively. According to the analysis, Austin experience a 13.2 % population growth from 2010- 2014 and other Texas cities experienced less but similar growth patterns. Population growth, double-digit job growth and a high population of educated people are all part of the reasons the cities ranked so well. So what exactly does this mean for Lake LBJ Real Estate.
Currently we estimate that there are approximately 2000 good waterfront tracts on Lake LBJ. This includes only single family or vacant lots that are on open water or cove and that fall in all price ranges. It is estimated that Austin’s regional population surpassed the 2 million mark which is less than .1% of Austin’s population alone. Considering that buyers for Lake LBJ real estate come from Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, Houston and other areas outside of Texas this means that Lake LBJ is very scarce compared to the potential demand.
I believe that Lake LBJ real estate will be untouchable in the next 3-5 years as prices will continue to rise based on available supply and demand. Good properties (good water) will sky rocket and will become nearly impossible for most to acquire. If you have ever considered buying a waterfront property on Lake LBJ, now is the time. The micro conditions of the economy (low oil) have created a small window of opportunity to buy right and the window will soon close.

This lot, 232 Green Acres, has 113 ft of water and nice topography down to the water creating impeccable panoramic views of Lake LBJ and the Texas Hill Country.
Another great feature of this lot is the existing boat house, constructed of steel and concrete, and containing an existing living space with half bathroom offering a HUGE value to the future owner of this lot. It is estimated that this boat house would cost 65k-75k to build new and with a little remodel, this boat house could match the house you build and be a real asset.

Lastly, the water on this property is what I consider to be very deep for Lake LBJ providing plenty of depth for swimming and boating.
