17019 Rocky Ridge Rd, Austin, TX 78734

This is a rare opportunity to own 2.5 acres of lakefront land with direct shoreline access and a shared dock. The shared dock provides convenient boat storage, while the cove offers added privacy away from main lake traffic, making lake living easy and enjoyable. It is well suited for Airbnb investors, full-time lake living, or developers seeking a distinctive project. With generous space and flexible use, the property offers many ways to create something truly special. The existing home provides a solid starting point with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and an attached garage. It offers excellent potential for renovation or redesign to match a variety of visions. One of the standout features is the expansive lower-level open patio, already prepared for customization. This area is ideal for creating an outdoor living space, an entertainment area, or a seamless indoor-outdoor layout designed for comfort and hosting. The land itself adds significant value. The 2.5-acre tract creates potential to subdivide into two or even three lots, creating a strong investment opportunity as demand for waterfront property continues to grow. Few properties offer this combination of acreage, lake access, and flexibility. The lifestyle offered by this property is a key highlight. Direct shoreline access allows for the creation of a beach-like lakeside setting where time on the water feels effortless. Surrounded by native landscaping on a quiet street, the property feels peaceful and private while remaining close to shopping, dining, and entertainment options. With impressive views, rare lake access, and outstanding potential, this is a unique opportunity to bring a lakefront vision to life.

The real story at 17019 Rocky Ridge Rd is the 2.549 acres on Lake Travis with direct shoreline access and a shared dock, not just the 1,120 square feet inside the house. At 17019 Rocky Ridge Rd in Austin, that amount of waterfront land in Austin, TX 78734 is the kind of asset that is getting harder to find, especially with a 3-bedroom, 2-bath single-family residence already in place.

Built in 1976, the existing home gives you a usable starting point for weekend lake use, a full renovation, or a longer-term redevelopment plan. The price is $1.85 million, or $1,652 per square foot, which reads high if you only measure the house and makes far more sense when you measure the combination of shoreline, acreage, privacy, and flexibility. The lot spans roughly 111,034 square feet, which creates room for a meaningful outdoor living plan and gives this property a different value profile than a typical Hudson Bend area lake house on a tighter parcel.

This stretch of Rocky Ridge Road sits off Hudson Bend Road with practical access to FM 620, so daily errands and dining are not remote even though the setting feels removed from the main lake traffic. Austin Yacht Club and Mansfield Dam Park are both just minutes away, and that matters if you actually plan to use the water rather than just look at it. The Oasis and the marinas around Hudson Bend are also close enough to shape real weekend routines, whether that means dinner on the lake, live music, or an early boat run before the traffic picks up. Older local marketing for this pocket has long pointed to roughly a 30-minute drive to Downtown Austin, which helps explain why buyers continue to target Lake Travis waterfront when they want land, access, and a shorter line back into the city.

For schools, the property is generally associated with Lake Travis ISD, including Lake Travis Elementary School, Hudson Bend Middle School, and Lake Travis High School. Recent GreatSchools ratings listed those campuses at 5/10, 8/10, and 9/10, respectively. For buyers weighing long-term hold potential, that district alignment is part of the value discussion.

What it feels like to live here is simple: more land, more water access, fewer compromises. In a market where true waterfront acreage is limited, 17019 Rocky Ridge Rd stands out as a property that can serve today and still leave room for a much bigger vision over time.
