Just Sold: 404 Riverside in Kingsland
We are super excited to announce our recent closing of 404 Riverside in Kingsland, Texas on Lake LBJ. This 4 bedroom, 3 bath Lake LBJ getaway on a great, east-facing lot on the Colorado Arm was fully renovated and offered a bonus space below with an additional half bath which served as a secondary living space. The two-story boat dock was recently re-painted and offered a covered rooftop deck. This awesome waterfront home on Lake LBJ was sold fully furnished and included a few Jet Skis as an added bonus.
This property was listed at the beginning of the year and took a little time to sell however you should know that we had various offers that came in but were below what the seller was willing to accept. We advised the seller to hold out for the right offer, knowing that the property was special and unique and that it was only a matter of time before the right buyer would pay a fair price. I am excited to report that our strategy worked and the seller got the price he was looking for. The buyers also purchased themselves a wonderful Lake House on Lake LBJ that will provide many great memories for years to come.

Toxic Algae Found in Lake LBJ – What it Means?
According to the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) recent testing has detected toxic algae in Inks Lake and Lake LBJ. Warm weather and harsh drought conditions are likely responsible for this recent development which is not uncommon this time of year. The LCRA is warning lake patrons to avoid touching or ingesting algae and to keep pets from doing the same.
Most freshwater algae is harmless, and plays a very important role in the aquatic ecosystem but some species (specifically cyanobacteria, also known as Blue-Green algae) can sometimes produce harmful toxins that can pose a health risk to people and pets. These harmful algal blooms 0r HABs can show up without warning or change in appearance. While it can be very difficult to determine when this Blue-Green algae will produce toxins, production is typically instigated by excess nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorous), warm and stagnant water, and lots of sunlight. This toxin production may only last a few hours or can persist for several weeks.
It should also be noted that the name Blue-Green Algae can be a little misleading as this algae is known to be blue/green, dark green, brown and/or black. Because visual identification can be difficult its best to avoid all algae.
Symptoms of exposure to these harmful toxins in humans can include skin and eye irritations, rashes and in more severe cases diarrhea, cramps, vomiting to fainting, dizziness or numbness, and tingling in lips, fingers and toes. If you are worried about exposure contact your doctor or a poison control center immediately.
So what does this mean for those looking to enjoy Lake LBJ? It simply means to use caution when enjoying the lake.. Being that you likely are not one to purposefully eat algae I think you are safe. Be sure to keep a close eye on children and pets as they enjoy Lake LBJ and always be aware of your surroundings to avoid potentially harmful encounters. For more information on this toxic algae visit the LCRA website or for assistance with Lake LBJ Real Estate reach out to your local real estate expert at (512) 786-1515. Be safe out there!
