13011 River Bnd Unit #B, Austin, TX 78732

Vacation rental potential, rare deeded lake access, and a location just approximately 200 yards from Lake Austin and a private lake park, 13011 River Bnd #B offers an exceptional opportunity to create your ideal lake escape. One of the few homes with deeded access to a private lake park, the property includes a coveted privilege that most homes in the surrounding area do not share. Here, morning walks to the water and afternoons on the lake can become part of everyday life. The existing two-bedroom, one-bath home needs substantial TLC, offering a canvas for those ready to renovate and make it their own. Alternatively, explore replacing the home with new construction to bring your dream home to life. Whether you envision a primary residence, a lakehouse getaway, or a vacation rental, the appeal begins with the setting and the extraordinary access to the water. Nearby Mary Quinlan Park offers a public boat launch onto Lake Austin, making boating days easy to enjoy. Within walking distance, the world-renowned Lake Austin Spa Resort adds another remarkable dimension to the location, with internationally celebrated wellness experiences and recognition among the world’s finest destination spas. Zoned to highly acclaimed Vandegrift High School in Leander ISD, this property brings together the essentials of a memorable lakehouse: rare private park access, nearby boat launching, and the freedom to create a retreat that reflects your vision. Renovate, reimagine, and make lake living your own. The property is being sold in as-is condition.

Steiner Ranch is a 4,600-acre master-planned community in 78732, built along the bluffs above Lake Austin and Lake Travis. Median home price $800K. Leander ISD schools (Laura Bush Elementary, Canyon Ridge Middle, Vandegrift High), three resort-style community pools, 20+ miles of trails, and private Lake Austin access via the Lake Club.

Around 6,500 homes across multiple sections, built from the late 1990s through today. Housing ranges from $500K townhomes to $2M+ estates backing to the UT Golf Club (Roy Bechtol championship course, 7,412 yards). The community is fully built out in most sections, with limited new construction remaining.

Daily life revolves around being outside. Trail runners hit J Canyon and Powerline Hill loops before work. The Lake Club gives residents private boat launch access with eleven day-use docks on Lake Austin. Lake Travis is five minutes from the community entrance. Steiner Ranch Steakhouse — panoramic lake views, live music seven nights a week — is the social center.

What makes Steiner Ranch the value play for lake-adjacent living: resort-level amenities at a fraction of Lake Austin waterfront pricing, strong schools, and a community infrastructure (pools, trails, golf, lake access) that most master-planned developments can't match. The tradeoff is the 620 commute — 25-35 minutes to downtown depending on traffic.
