The upstairs primary suite with ensuite bath provides comfortable, private accommodations ideal for guests or multi-generational living.

A private study with fireplace at the front of the home offers a quiet, versatile space, while the formal dining room, expansive family room with custom built-ins, and a light-filled sunroom create inviting areas for gathering or relaxing.

Rich architectural details, including a wood-paneled cathedral ceiling, extensive millwork, and custom features throughout, reflect the home’s quality craftsmanship.

Outdoor living is where this property truly shines. Enjoy a resort-style pool and spa, gazebo with gas grill, outdoor shower, putting green, and lushly updated grounds—all designed to maximize lake life. A covered boat lift plus two wave runner lifts make getting on the water effortless.

Located in sought-after Horseshoe Bay, where short-term rentals are permitted with a permit, this property offers the ideal blend of luxury, functionality, and investment potential in one of Lake LBJ’s most desirable communities.

Your basecamp for Lake LBJ sits at 3605 Douglas Dr in Horseshoe Bay, where a private boat lift and two wave runner lifts mean you're launching into open water in minutes, not hours. This 4,646 square foot stone home on Horseshoe Bay's channel-facing lot gives you direct access to one of Central Texas's most consistent recreation zones, with the resort-style pool and spa serving as your holding pattern between water sessions.

The layout functions as pure logistics for an active household. Five bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms across two levels mean gear storage, guest overflow, and recovery space all under one roof. Two primary suites (one on each level with its own laundry) keep the operation running without friction. The kitchen isn't decorative-Wolf gas cooktop with pot filler, Sub-Zero refrigerator, double ovens, and a warming drawer handle the fuel demands of a full house rotating through lake days. A private study with fireplace doubles as mission control when weather or daylight calls a halt.

But the real infrastructure lives outside. Beyond the covered boat lift, the property holds a gazebo with gas grill, outdoor shower for rinsing off lake water without tracking it through the house, and a putting green for those flat-calm mornings. The pool and spa extend your water time into the off-season. Large mature trees and updated landscaping create privacy on your 0.2462-acre lot while the sprinkler system handles maintenance so you're not tethered to yard work.

Built in 1996 and recently refreshed with modern paint, fixtures, and upstairs carpet, the home presents move-in ready. Cathedral ceilings, custom millwork, granite and quartz counters, and built-in sound system provide comfort during downtime. The open floorplan with multiple living and dining areas handles the inevitable crew that gravity pulls toward lakeside real estate.

Located in Llano ISD and priced at $2.40M ($515 per sqft), Horseshoe Bay permits short-term rental operations with a permit, adding optionality to ownership. Lake LBJ's consistent wind patterns and proximity to Llano keep you close to action year-round. This isn't a retreat that isolates you from your life-it's the operational base that centers your life around water.
