1700/1702 Buffalo Gap Rd, Austin, TX 78734

Major remodel on 176’ of Lake Travis waterfront paired with over 3 acres inclusive of the neighboring 1.41-acre lot, valued at $1.5M—this is a rare combination of shoreline, space, and flexibility. Properties like this don’t come around often. The waterfront is ready to use with a floating boat dock for easy lake access, while Trex decking and wrought-iron railing at the boathouse add durability and a clean finish. Outdoor living is expansive, featuring multiple decks, covered and open patios, and a large terrace for outdoor gatherings. The extra lot opens the door for future improvements—pool, guest house, cabana—or simply maintaining privacy and additional space along the lake. Inside, the home features custom design throughout with detailed finishes, shiplap accents, and tall ceilings. The open-concept layout connects a spacious living area with gas fireplace, a media/flex space with beverage station, and a well-appointed kitchen with custom cabinetry, quartz surfaces, brick backsplash, farmhouse sink, walk-in pantry, and JennAir gas range. Two primary suites provide flexibility, including a main-level suite with spa-style bath, double vanity, walk-in shower, and large closet. Additional features include a metal roof, built-in bar, exterior storage, and rare parking for the area. Expansive waterfront. Acreage. Future potential. Lake Travis living with room to grow.

The moment you step onto 1700 Buffalo Gap Road in Austin's 78734 zip code, the sprawling panorama of Lake Travis becomes the centerpiece of your daily life. This 3,150-square-foot waterfront residence sits on 1.6867 acres with 176 linear feet of shoreline, positioned to capture unobstructed water views from nearly every room in the home. The sight lines are exceptional, designed so that whether you're in the primary bedroom on the main level or moving through the open-concept living spaces, the lake commands your attention.

The home's architecture maximizes exposure to those vistas through extensive glazing and thoughtful orientation. Large windows frame Lake Travis like living artwork, and the board and batten siding exterior creates clean sightlines without visual clutter. Recessed lighting inside doesn't compete with the natural focal point outside. This 1971 residence has been reimagined with modern finishes including custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, a brick backsplash, and a JennAir gas range in the main kitchen, all positioned to keep your eyes on the water while you work.

The deck systems are the true extension of the home's living space. Multiple decks radiate from the house, with Trex decking that handles the Texas weather without the maintenance of wood. The covered and open patios create layered outdoor living, and the boathouse features wrought-iron railings and a floating boat dock with integrated boat lift - meaning Lake Travis waterfront recreation happens steps from your living room. The topography slopes naturally toward the water, so the decks and patios feel like you're floating above the shoreline itself.

Life here unfolds on the water and around it. The Lake Travis Independent School District serves the property, with Lake Travis Elementary, Hudson Bend Middle, and Lake Travis High School anchoring the community. The open floor plan with two primary suites, a media flex space with beverage station, and multiple living areas accommodates both full-time waterfront living and extended family visits. The gas fireplace in the main living area extends entertaining into cooler months while maintaining those panoramic views.

At $4.25 million or $1,349 per square foot, this represents rare waterfront acreage in the Austin market - the kind of property that comes to market infrequently. The combination of 176 feet of shoreline, cleared and landscaped grounds with mature trees over 40 feet tall, boat dock infrastructure, and move-in condition creates immediate Lake Travis living without the typical renovation timeline. The views aren't background scenery here; they're the primary amenity.
