1606 Buffalo Gap Rd, Austin, TX 78734

Deep water Lake Travis waterfront home with private boat dock on the South Shore of Lake Travis, offering panoramic main-body views just minutes from RR 620. Set on 1.65 acres extending into the deepest portion of a protected no-wake cove, the property provides calm dockside waters and sweeping views across Lake Travis. Completed in 2013 and enhanced with over $400,000 in upgrades, the 3,898-square-foot residence is designed for luxury waterfront living and effortless entertaining with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, stone fireplace, and walls of glass framing the lake and creating seamless indoor-outdoor living. The open-concept kitchen remodeled in 2023 offers refined finishes and excellent functionality, complemented by updated lighting, an updated half bath, and interior and exterior painting completed in 2022. The main-level primary suite captures lake views and features a spa-style bath with dual-entry walk-in shower, soaking tub, and oversized walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms with water views are served by three and a half additional bathrooms, along with a study, full laundry room, and gym or flex space with updated flooring (2025). Outdoor living includes upper and lower decks with 180-degree Lake Travis views, a full outdoor kitchen, and fireplace ideal for entertaining. Balcony resurfacing was completed in 2023, and the lower-level media and flex space with wet bar opens to the waterfront terrace. A 2025 outdoor tram provides convenient access to the private boat dock extended in 2022 with boat lift and upgraded electrical, offering quick access to calm cove waters and open-water boating. Additional improvements include a geothermal HVAC system installed in 2024 for energy-efficient comfort. Located in Lake Travis ISD with convenient access to marinas, golf, dining, recreation, and Austin shopping, entertainment, and airport access, this property represents an exceptional opportunity for private deep-water Lake Travis waterfront living.

The private boat dock on Buffalo Gap Road's South Shore reaches into one of Lake Travis's deepest, calmest coves, a rare advantage for serious boaters seeking protected anchorage without leaving home. This 3,898-square-foot waterfront residence on 1.657 acres at 1606 Buffalo Gap Road has been continuously refined since 2013, with major upgrades completed as recently as 2025 - a geothermal HVAC system installed in 2024, new flex space flooring, and an outdoor tram providing direct dock access.

The drive in is the first signal of privacy. From Ranch Road 620, you turn into Austin and immediately feel the distance from Austin's center, though downtown remains just 25 minutes away. The property sits at the deepest point of a protected no-wake cove, meaning the water stays calm even when main-body Lake Travis has chop. Most waterfront homes here face compromised anchor points or shallow holding ground. This one doesn't.

Inside, the open-concept design frames water views through walls of glass from nearly every room. Vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and a stone fireplace anchor the main living areas. The 2023 kitchen remodel added refined finishes and a functional island layout that works for both daily use and entertaining. The primary suite occupies the main level with direct lake sight lines and a spa-style bath featuring dual-entry walk-in shower, soaking tub, and oversized closet. Three additional bedrooms with water views serve guests or family. A dedicated study, full laundry, and flex space with wet bar accommodate work-from-home routines and extended stays.

The real separation happens outside. Upper and lower decks command 180-degree Lake Travis views. A full outdoor kitchen and fireplace infrastructure support entertaining at scale. The lower terrace opens directly to waterfront access. The dock itself was extended in 2022 with a new boat lift and upgraded electrical - professional-grade infrastructure for boats up to 35 feet.

Lake Travis ISD serves the property with Lake Travis Elementary, Hudson Bend Middle, and Lake Travis High School. The Austin airport is roughly 30 minutes north via Ranch Road 620 toward Burnet. Nearby marinas, golf courses on the Highland lakes circuit, and restaurants like those in Lakeway shopping areas put recreation within 5 minutes.

At $731 per square foot, the pricing reflects the combination of deep-water access, modern systems efficiency, and a protected anchorage that most Lake Travis properties never achieve. This is sanctuary with dock access, not a view lot with water nearby.
