A Wonderful Location on Lake Austin inside the 360 Bridge. Enjoy treetop views overlooking Lake Austin and your private boat dock with two slips plus a party deck in a serene cove. This residence, a creation by Don Reynolds, stands as a testament to heritage within The Courtyard. Originally one of the inaugural 3 dwellings erected for the visionary developer of the Swim and Tennis Club, this home offers the opportunity to become the steward of its storied legacy. Designed for the discerning owner seeking a lakeside retreat, this property is suited for those desiring a "lock-and-leave" lifestyle. Upon approach, a sweeping panorama unfolds, courtesy of strategically positioned windows, affording vistas of Lake Austin, the Austin Country Club, and the picturesque Hill Country. As you traverse this exceptional residence, the sensation of dwelling amongst the treetops, poised majestically above the tranquil lake, becomes palpable. The main level hosts 3 bedrooms, while an additional 2 are on the upper level. The primary suite stands as a sanctuary unto itself, graced by vaulted ceilings, a see-through fireplace, and ample space for a sitting area, all complemented by an expansive en-suite bath. Positioned in the exclusive Courtyard enclave, discreetly nestled at the confluence of 2222 and 360, this residence offers exceptional accessibility to prominent local landmarks such as the Pennybacker Bridge, Barton Creek Mall, Trader Joe's, Central Market, the Arboretum, and the Domain. The essence of The Courtyard extends beyond its residences; the community encompasses a private, gated park featuring a playground, barbecue and picnic area, scenic trails tracing the meandering course of Bull Creek, and a wealth of additional amenities.

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.
