The lake-level features a game room, storage, and an expansive covered outdoor area with a kitchen, fireplace, seating area, recreational lawn, pool, spa and boat house. The house and boat dock are fully permitted by the City of Austin. The project is construction-ready, which saves a buyer years of City approval time.

With more than 230 feet of Lake Austin waterfront and fully permitted plans for a 7,500-plus-square-foot residence by A Parallel Architecture, 4200 Rivercrest Dr stands out as a rare construction-ready offering in Lake Austin. This unimproved land site at 4200 Rivercrest Dr, Austin, TX 78746 in Travis County is priced at $6.00M and gives buyers something hard to find on Lake Austin: frontage, permits, and a defined architectural direction without starting the approval process from scratch.

The lot measures 0.629 acres, and the value here is clearly in the land, the waterfront, and the entitlement work already completed. The listing notes permitted house and boat dock plans through the City of Austin, which can remove a major layer of time and uncertainty for a future owner. The proposed design spans four levels and is oriented to capture broad water views, daylight, and outdoor living along the shoreline. The cost to build is not included in the asking price. Because this is land and no finished residence exists today, bed, bath, interior square footage, year built, and price per square foot are not listed in the source data.

This stretch of Rivercrest Drive places you in one of Westlake’s most established Lake Austin corridors, with quick access to Westlake Drive and Loop 360. Pennybacker Bridge is nearby, and Walsh Boat Landing is part of the everyday geography here. Downtown Austin is typically about a 15-minute drive in normal conditions, while Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is often about 25 to 30 minutes depending on traffic. That mix matters. You get direct access to a private waterfront setting without giving up practical connections to the city’s core.

The listing remarks place the property within Eanes ISD, though specific school assignments and ratings are not provided in the source data. Days on market sit at 614, which makes this an unusually visible opportunity for buyers tracking long-hold waterfront land rather than move-in-ready inventory. In a market where true Lake Austin frontage, permitting progress, and buildable scale rarely line up at the same address, this site offers a clear path to create a legacy property with lasting lifestyle appeal and durable land value.

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.
