Lake LBJ Lot Priced Below Market -$300k
Lots 500 E and 500 F on Hill Top are being combined into 1 lot which will contain over 110 feet of perfect Lake LBJ waterfront. This lot was illegally platted as two lots, each with 55 feet of waterfront. However, at the time of the re-plat, these lots were never submitted for LCRA approval. LCRA approval is needed because of the requirement for septic on these properties which is regulated by the LCRA. We have spoken with the LCRA and the process to combined these lots as one is already in the works and is a fairly simple process.
This lot, once re-platted, will be just over 1 acre in size. You will see from the pictures that this is a granite rock. The property is actually part of a granite mountain and as you will see from the picture, the neighboring development is built on the same granite mountain. This gives a good picture of what the final product could be. These neighboring properties are all worth over $1 million with the most recent sale at $1,420,000.
This property sits in a very nice cove with beautiful views of Lake LBJ. Directly across Lake LBJ, there is a Peninsula and if you look closely you can actually see the water on the other side of this Peninsula. Views like this on Lake LBJ are very hard to find!
The asking price for this property is $300,000. If you are interested in taking a look or for more information regarding Lake LBJ Real Estate, contact me at (512) 786-1515

Remodeled Lake House in Sunrise Beach – $550,000 (Pre-MLS)
262 E. Lakeshore is the perfect, family style lake house in the heart of Sunrise Beach in Llano county. This 2 bedroom, 2 bath home has a large study, or essentially a 3rd bedroom to house the whole family and even those friendly guests.
The current owner of the property took the home down to the studs and created a new home home including kitchen, bathrooms and flooring. The home was originally built in 1965 and the remodel took place in 2009. Below is a complete list of everything that was redone in the home during the remodel:
- All Framing, including ceiling
- All electrical
- All plumbing
- All plumbing fixtures
- All electrical fixtures
- All Walls
- All Doors
- All new Pella Windows & Glass Door
- Air Conditioner (inside unit)
- Hot Water Heater (Flash)
- Roof
- Chimney – rebuilt and enclosed to house electrical and cable
- Septic
- Sprinkler system (updated entire system last year to fulfill LCRA watering standards)
- Outside Hose bibs & Shower
- Entire back Deck (facing the Lake)
- Split Rail Fence
This newly updated lake house is situated on a nearly 1/2 acre beautiful lot with plenty of mature trees and 75 feet of great, large cove waterfront. On the lakeside of the house the owners built a beautiful cedar porch which adds an abundance of outdoor living space and offering lakeside lifestyle to this home. As you move down towards the water, there is also a delightful covered patio with wooden swing and outdoor seating offering a beautiful view to the lake and a perfect place to relax by the water.
This home has a large boat house which includes a boat slip, with a newly installed hydraulic lift and and overhead deck offering more area for sun bathing and taking in the beautiful views of Lake LBJ. The large yard is full of plush St Augustine grass, fully sprinkled from Lake LBJ allowing it to stay green and healthy all year around.
Another positive note to mention about this home is the Llano county property tax rate. This home is taxed at a rate of 1.66%, far lower than other areas on the lake which means lower holding costs. Sunrise Beach is located about 55 minutes from Austin and 1 hour and 15 minutes from San Antonio which also plays into its investment value.
If you are looking for a fine Lake LBJ real estate investment and a superb value on the beautiful constant level lake, look no further. This property is aggressively priced and we expect it to move quickly. To schedule a private showing for more information on Lake LBJ Real Estate, contact me at (512) 786-1515

A Perfect Sky!
Check out this amazing photo I took this weekend after showing Lake LBJ Real Estate. You will see that Lake LBJ offers some of the most beautiful Texas sunsets you will find which is why Lake LBJ real estate is becoming more and more valuable.
While the sunset is nice to see, you can always capture it from the boat or dock. Property on Lake LBJ that face west are historically harder to sell and often trade for less money because the afternoon sun can be very undesirable on a hot summer day.

Perfect Water on Lake LBJ
If you are looking for Lake LBJ real estate its very important to pursue perfect water. 3706 Pack Saddle Drive is a prime example of a new waterfront listing on Lake LBJ with perfect water:
1) 108 feet of waterfront footage – This is a pretty perfect amount of waterfront footage. Its not too much and it provides enough distance from your neighbors and allows for views from most every room in the house.

LBJ’s Sweetest, Now Sweeter!
At the new price of $599k, 2826 Lakeview is in my opinion the best opportunity on Lake LBJ. With 171 feet of wider open water facing directly out to open water and Applehead Island (the most expensive real estate on Lake LBJ) this .88 acre lot is in a league of it’s own. The property is covered with lush grass with a very solid granite foundation making it the ideal building spot for the waterfront home of your dreams.
One of the best parts of 2826 Lakeview is that the property already contains a 3 bedroom, 2 bath cabin with wrap around wood deck and nicely reworked into the perfect lake retreat. This property is not for everyone and is a perfect opportunity for someone looking “outside the box”.
In my professional opinion when buying Lake LBJ real estate you want to buy the best “property/waterfront” you can buy because you can always improve the house. In fact, you would not even be looking at the house if it was not for the water. These views are million dollar views and with a price tag of almost 1/2 of $1 million dollars you will not encounter a better opportunity. If you are looking for a property with a ton of upside, 2826 Lakeview is the right choice.

2504 Belaire East – New Price $599k
If you are looking for the perfect lake house, look no further! 2504 Belaire East is the perfect waterfront investment and at the new price of $599k, this becomes one of the most attractive deals on Lake LBJ. This single story waterfront home is 2161 sq. ft., 3 bed, 2.5 bath plus additional bunk room/office with a 988 sq. ft. heated and cooled garage. The house hits up on a very nice lot with 60 feet of perfect Lake LBJ, granite bottom water. The home is tucked just inside a small cove and with this location, the new owner will enjoy the best of both worlds: open water views with cove protect waterfront. Because this home is at the mouth of the cove and there are homes further back in the cove, no debris or trash collects here and with granite bottom you wont find a better or safer swimming hole.
The current owners of this home, built homes his whole life and built this one as his ideal retirement home. They built the home using quality materials, oversized joists and rafters, the thickest of insulations and with the quality and craftsmanship a builder would build for his family. In building this home, the owners carefully thought out how they would use the home in the future and built it to achieve 5 star energy efficiency and rating while keeping possibilities open. For example, the huge porch that sits lakeside has been plumbed to add an outdoor kitchen with hot/cold water and electricity. The home was also built so that the owner could potentially add a second story above the master bedroom with plans for a staircase in the living room.
Its very rare to find newer homes on good water on Lake LBJ without a multi-million dollar price tag. This home has high ceilings, big views, perfect water, open layout, large garage, boat house with electric lift and plenty of room for the whole family. The quality and detail is evident when you walk in this home and the potential is bright. The exterior is solid stucco and the roof is made with a 40 year Architectural shingle.

Inventory Levels Rise-Don’t Be Fooled
Inventory levels with Lake LBJ real estate have really started to rise as the summer is coming upon us quickly but I must say, the pricing is a little disappointing. It is always frustrating when agents and brokers flood the market with overpriced listings hurting the market overall. Rather than just taking whatever they can get, these agents should offer accurate pictures of the market and turn down overpriced listings. Overpriced listings do not sell at Lake LBJ. Don’t be fooled!
Post-crash, buyers are looking for strong value when purchasing waterfront real estate on Lake LBJ. They are not willing to overpay for Lake LBJ real estate as was the case in 2005 and 2006. These buyers want opportunity and good deals and rather than looking at previous comps that look at the market to see what money can buy.
Accurately pricing real estate on Lake LBJ is the only way to yield top dollar but many sellers are working off bad information. How are you supposed to make decisions that affect your finances and your future if you are given a true picture of market conditions. A sign in your yard is one thing, a contract to close is another.
I work hard for my clients, using my expertise and market knowledge for the gain of my clients. I shoot my clients straight the first time so they can have good information to rely on for their well being. I price property to sell because that is what I am hired for and I will not take an overpriced listing so that I can put a sign in your yard to advertise my business.
