Perched along the shores of Lake Travis, this exceptional Dick Clark-designed residence offers a rare blend of architectural significance and premier waterfront living. Located at 1500 Buffalo Gap, the home sits in a deep water cove within a no-wake zone, providing calm waters, added privacy, and ideal conditions for year-round enjoyment. Designed to capture its breathtaking surroundings, the 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom layout features expansive windows framing sweeping 180-degree lake views. The west-facing rear orientation delivers spectacular sunsets over the water, creating a stunning backdrop for both daily living and entertaining. Clean lines, curated materials, and intentional design elements throughout reflect a modern yet timeless aesthetic. The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen areas flow seamlessly to multiple outdoor spaces, where a resort-style setting awaits.
