About This Home
Turn-key lake living on Lake Travis! This fully renovated three-story home with panoramic water and hill views from every side, with lake access just steps away via a private HOA lakefront park (no dues). Furniture conveys, making it move-in or rental-ready from day one. A 2023 renovation added a new roof, AC, well tank/pump, fresh paint, custom counters, and updated lighting and plumbing. An elevator serves all three levels. The top floor features two living areas split by a see-through fireplace, a gourmet kitchen with granite counters and a wrap-around breakfast bar, two dining areas, and balconies showcasing the lake views. The second floor holds a primary suite with a private balcony and spa-like bath, plus two more bedrooms and a shared bath. The first floor has a full guest/in-law suite with its own entrance, kitchen, and living area. Outside: a fenced backyard with fire pit and fountain, a two-car garage plus carport, and low-cost utilities (well, propane, septic). Minutes from dining, marinas, and Volente Beach Village, in sought-after Leander ISD. 4,044 sq ft per appraiser — lake living at its finest!
The sound of Lake Travis lapping against the shoreline becomes your daily soundtrack at 8117 Joy Road in Volente. This waterfront home sits 0.15 acres in Volente with direct access to the lake just steps away through the private HOA lakefront park - no dues required. You wake to water views from multiple levels of a fully renovated 4,044 square foot home that was completely updated in 2023.
The home is engineered for waterfront living. An elevator connects all three levels, making the vertical layout feel seamless rather than laborious. The master suite anchors the second floor while two additional bedrooms share a full bath on the same level. The real gathering happens on the top floor, where an open kitchen flows into multiple dining and living areas, all oriented toward those panoramic lake vistas. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living space for cooler evenings when the lake breeze picks up.
The ground floor operates as a complete guest or in-law suite - full kitchen, separate bedroom, living area, and private entrance. This dual-purpose design has already proven its rental potential, making the home move-in ready or immediately income-producing. The 2023 renovation touched everything: new AC system, roof, well tank and pump, fresh exterior and interior paint, custom counters, updated lighting and plumbing fixtures throughout.
Utility costs run low here. The property operates on its own well system, propane, and septic - no municipal utility bills. The 2-car garage sits at ground level alongside the private yard, which slopes down toward the water and features native plantings with mature trees providing natural screening.
Volente Beach Village shopping and dining sit minutes north along Joy Road. Leander ISD serves the property through Grandview Hills Elementary, Four Points Middle, and Vandegrift High School. You're positioned between the major employer corridors of North Austin tech parks and the recreational draw of Lake Travis, which stretches across Travis and Burnet Counties with dozens of public parks, marinas, and water access points.
This is waterfront living without the price premium of West Lake Hills or the density of central Lago Vista - a quieter Lake Travis neighborhood where you can actually hear the water move.
