2205 Manana St, Austin, TX 78730

2205 Manana Street presents a rare opportunity to create a custom waterfront retreat on an expansive .65-acre homesite on a premier stretch of Lake Austin with +/-100' of waterfrontage. With the flat lot already cleared, the property offers a blank canvas for designing a legacy residence that takes full advantage of its exceptional setting and sweeping lakefront presence. Builder plans are available for a 5-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom residence, featuring a first-floor primary suite, second prep kitchen, designated office, wellness room, 3-car garage, and pool, as well as an approved septic plan. A private beach area invites effortless enjoyment of the water, while an easement to the existing dock on the neighboring property provides convenient access for boating and lakeside living. The generous lot size allows for a thoughtful layout with ample space for a main residence, outdoor living areas, and resort-style amenities, all framed by the natural beauty of the shoreline. Opportunities like this are increasingly scarce on Lake Austin, especially on such a desirable stretch known for its tranquility and luxury homes. Whether envisioning a modern architectural statement or a timeless lakeside escape, this property delivers the ideal foundation to bring that vision to life. List price does not include the cost to construct a new residence or to permit the plans. Tax and assessed values are estimates for illustration purposes only. All figures should be independently verified.

Lake Austin is Austin's most exclusive waterfront corridor - 22 miles of constant-level shoreline in 78732, 15 minutes from downtown. Waterfront homes start around $4M and trophy lots with 200+ feet of flat shoreline trade at $15M-$35M+. The lake is controlled by Tom Miller Dam, which maintains consistent water levels year-round - the key advantage over seasonal Lake Travis.

This is one of Austin's thinnest markets. Roughly 22 miles of total shoreline, and at any given time only 3-5 homes are actively listed. Many of the best lots trade privately through agent relationships before they ever reach the MLS. The finite supply creates a structural price floor that insulates Lake Austin from broader market cycles.

Buyers here want water access as daily life, not a weekend plan. Morning paddleboard, afternoon ski run, burgers at Ski Shores by boat, sunset from your own dock watching Hill Country ridgelines. The practical side matters too: you are inside Austin city limits with full services, 15 minutes from downtown, 10 from the Domain.

Four Seasons Private Residences is under development on 145 acres with 188 planned homes - the first significant new inventory since the lake was established. Eanes ISD and Leander ISD serve different sections of the corridor, both with strong school ratings.
