About This Home
Tucked within the gates of Horseshoe Bay’s most prestigious enclave, Applehead Island Lot 83E offers a rare opportunity to build your dream waterfront retreat on one of the few remaining homesites available. Set in a secure, 24-hour guarded community, the Island is celebrated for its serenity, architectural variety, and exceptional location on the constant-level waters of Lake LBJ. This .28-acre homesite sits on a protected canal just seconds from open water—offering both privacy and instant access to boating, fishing, and relaxing lake days. Every residence on Applehead Island is custom-designed, making your future home part of an elite collection of distinctive estates. Ownership includes privileges at the Island’s private amenities reserved exclusively for residents and guests: a spectacular multi-million-dollar swimming pool, elegant clubhouse, tennis and pickleball courts, and lush landscaping throughout the gated community. With its secure setting, luxury amenities, and proximity to Horseshoe Bay Resort’s world-class amenities, casual and fine dining, Lot 83E combines sophistication, privacy, and the unrivaled lifestyle of Applehead Island—one of Lake LBJ’s most coveted addresses.
A cleared quarter-acre lot on Horseshoe Bay commands the kind of freedom that most Central Texas properties only promise. This is land with water access, gated security, and the constant-level waters of Lake LBJ stretched before you like an open invitation.
The lot sits within Horseshoe Bay's guarded enclave, where the horizon belongs to whoever builds here. You're looking at 0.28 acres positioned on a protected canal with seconds of access to open water. That proximity matters. It means your morning coffee happens with lake light coming through the windows. It means the dock is real, not theoretical. The cleared status means you're not clearing timber or fighting brush. The land is ready. The view toward the water is unobstructed.
This is Llano County terrain, nestled in the Hill Country where the landscape opens up in ways that suburban lots never will. The Llano ISD serves this area, with Llano Elementary, Llano Middle, and Llano High School anchoring the school district. For families balancing rural freedom with educational infrastructure, that matters.
The setting itself defines the opportunity. Horseshoe Bay residents access a private swimming pool, clubhouse, tennis courts, and pickleball facilities. The gated architecture varies by design, meaning your custom estate won't mirror your neighbor's. Horseshoe Bay Resort sits nearby with dining, golf, and the kind of resort amenities that justify the location premium. Lake LBJ's constant-level water makes boating and fishing genuinely viable year-round, not seasonal gambles dependent on rainfall cycles.
Security runs 24 hours. The canal positioning provides natural privacy while keeping you connected to the broader Lake LBJ community. This isn't isolation. It's intentional separation.
The land cost is $895,000. That price reflects cleared status, gated community access, waterfront positioning, and twenty days on market in a market where Horseshoe Bay lots don't linger. What you're actually purchasing is the foundation for a custom build on protected water in one of Lake LBJ's most restricted communities, where architectural consistency and property maintenance standards keep estates from drifting into the ordinary.
The horizon here is genuinely yours. The house that will eventually sit on this land becomes the shelter within that freedom, not the primary asset. The water, the security, the open sky, and the cleared path forward matter first.
