You can’t go wrong buying PRIME!  Investing in real estate is about choosing choice properties that will appreciate over time because of their desirability.  Prime waterfront properties provide a unique investment medium with strong upside appreciation potential.

In a second home, vacation market like Lake LBJ is, buyers are making luxury purchases not what I call “have to buys”.  These buyers can and will pay more if the property is right.   When you buy Prime, or “choice” waterfront the desirability and scarcity of these properties allow the upside to be limitless and dependent on the unit of the person or entity acquiring.  What I mean that a great property, that checks all the boxes, faces the right direction and has clean, open waterfront has the ability to sell for almost any price in the right market.  Most importantly, its very rare that the best properties on Lake LBJ ever actually go for sale. Families hold on to these strong assets and pass them down from one generation to the next contributing to the overall scarcity and rareness of the opportunity to actually acquire and own one.

If you are looking to invest in Lake LBJ real estate I strongly urge you to hire a broker that has real expertise in the local market and will guide you through “buying right on Lake LBJ”.  Reach out if you would like to discuss further and remember that you can’t go wrong buying prime real estate on Lake LBJ.

Anyone that knows anything about Lake LBJ Real Estate knows that Blue Lake Estates is the place to be.  In fact, it is in my opinion the most coveted area on the lake known for its proximity to Austin and San Antonio, its Horseshoe Bay address, incredible waterfront and 9 hole golf course in the center.  If you have ever browsed for Lake LBJ Real Estate you would have also seen that Blue Lake Estates demands a hefty price tag.  One option that most people don’t consider is buying a lot and building to save money and build instant equity.

3010 Packsaddle is an excellent opportunity for just that.  This large lot has 90 waterfront ft, gorgeous views of Pack Saddle mountain and awesome, deep-channel water on the sandy arm. This lot has been partially cleared leaving only the good trees and is ready for your new build.  This property does have some topography to work around but that topography provides for awesome views and would provides a unique setting for a spectacular home.  This property is currently listed at $575,000.  If you or someone you know would like more information, contact me at (512) 786-1515.  I look forward to hearing from you

Waterfront lots and even major remodel projects tend to trade at a discount as most buyers are impulsive and do not want to wait to start enjoying their Lake LBJ Real Estate.  However, a little delayed gratification can go a long way when it comes to Lake LBJ Real estate.  For those willing to go through the hassle and headaches associated with a major remodel or new build that payoff is big.

Take for example my newest listing in Blue Lake Estates, Lake LBJ’s most desired area and the closest part of Lake LBJ to Austin and San Antonio.  2904 pack Saddle offer 83 ft of water and approx. 3000 sq ft of rock solid bones to remodel or tear down in order to get that dream home on Lake LBJ.  The project looks rough as you walk in and many buyers are instantly deflated as the amount of work needed to spiff this property up is a lot.  However, the payoff would be huge and for someone wanting to get inside Blue Lake Estates for under $1.5m, this may be the only option.

Of course I understand the benefits of a move-in ready, turn-key property but as an active investor in real estate I prefer to add value and “do the deal” as opposed to paying top dollar to someone else that already completed it. I also understand that a turn-key, move in ready property in Blue Lake would be very expensive.  There are some great builders/contractors in the area that can take most of the risk and stress out of these major projects and more importantly that will do a great job creating your getaway.

Are you willing to take your time to get exactly what you want on Lake LBJ?  I challenge you to consider this alternate route and I am confident you will be pleased with the outcome.  If you or someone you know is considering building or remodeling Lake LBJ Real Estate, contact me at (512) 786-1515

The Carvajal Group is pleased to announce our most recent success with Horseshoe Bay Real Estate! 3612 Pack Saddle is under contract and The Carvajal Group is representing the buyer. This Blue Lake Estates home on Lake LBJ was originally listed on 5/23/2013 at a price of $995,000 and most recently had been lowered to $829,000. You are not going to believe the price at which my clients have this property under contract.

3612 Pack Saddle is a small cabin (1643 sq ft) in Blue Lake Estates, arguably one of the most desirable parts of Lake LBJ. This beautiful waterfront setting is filled with old oak trees and 107 ft of beautiful Lake LBJ waterfront. The home also has a two stall boat house which is being help up by metal piers, offering a true value should the buyers elect to tear the home and rebuild. A new boat house like this would cost anywhere from 85-100k in my opinion. While this home does face west, the back yard is completely shaded with trees offering the perfect lakeside environment to enjoy year around.

Many of you may have heard that Blue Lake is arguably one of the best spots on Lake LBJ. With beautiful oak scattered lots, lush green grass and a Horseshoe Bay address its hard to find a better place to own a waterfront home on Lake LBJ. Blue Lake is situated about 45 minutes west of Austin and is the closest part of Lake LBJ to both Austin and San Antonio. The quaint 9 hole golf course situated in the center of Blue Lake Estates is considered one of Texas’ best kept secrets.

Blue Lake Estates is one of the more expensive parts of Lake LBJ but worth every penny. There is a very high proportion of $1million plus properties in Blue Lake further proving its draw and value. That being said, Blue Lake real estate can be hard to find as many properties stay in families for generation after generation and new listings get snatched up pretty quickly. If you are searching for waterfront homes in Blue Lake Estates, you will need to work with a market expert that knows the area and has a means, other than MLS, to find available properties.

Blue Lake estates is located approximately 50 miles outside Austin, Texas and 75 miles away from San Antonio, TX, making it easily accessible from most major Texas cities and minutes away from one of the nation’s largest private airports. This luxury waterfront community is conveniently located inside the city of Horseshoe Bay, TX but sits just a few miles outside of the main resort. Many property owners feel this is a huge benefit as they get the prestige that comes along with a Horseshoe Bay address without all of the resort and tourist traffic. Convenience and serenity are just a few adjectives that come to mind when describing this particular Lake LBJ locale.

Blue Lake Estates was originally founded in the early 1960’s along the southern shores of Lake LBJ. At the time, there were no paved roads, street lights or telephone service due to limited development funds. Through the generosity and commitment by the community’s property owners, the money was quickly raised. This community involvement and camaraderie is still present today and is part of what makes Blue Lake Estates a one-of-a-kind community. Pride of ownership has never been so prevalent.

In 1965, one of the original developers of Blue Lake Estates, Bill Canfield, built the Blue Lake Estates clubhouse and golf course for the community. This hidden Texas treasure was designed by Houston, TX golf course designer, Joe Finger and was built around the rolling terrain and elevated greens offering a challenge to even the most skilled golfers while boasting incredibly scenic views of Lake LBJ and the Texas Hill Country. The course is made up of five par 3s, three par 4s, and one par 5 for a total yardage of 2376 yards per 9 holes. Many property owners own golf carts and can safely cart from home to course for a quick round of their favorite past time.

Blue Lake Estates also offers two neighborhood tennis courts which are available through yearly membership or single use play and is home to 5 private, lakefront parks scattered throughout the community:

• Wenmoh’s Park – Boat Dock, swimming beach, picnic tables

• Devil’s Hollow Park – Sport court, shaded game area (Bocce Ball, Washers, and Horseshoes), ½ Mile Long fitness trail, swings, picnic tables. This park also has storage facilities available to members only

• Driftwood Park – Day boat dock, lake swimming, picnic table and plenty of space for outdoor activities

• Blue Ridge Park – Huge trees and a beautiful setting to relax by the water

• Sandy Creek Park – designated storage for trailers and boats

Many of the waterfront communities on Lake LBJ require a septic system which often times creates development challenges and limits construction size on waterfront lots. However, Blue Lake Estates is part of the Llano county MUD, which provides sewer services to the homes in the area offering a clean and advantageous alternative for the community. Blue Lake Estates is also situated in Llano county which translates to one the lowest property tax rates on Lake LBJ, a very attractive quality for real estate investing.

Homes in Blue Lake Estates come in all shapes and sizes, ranging in price from the low $200’s up to $6 million+. Whether you are searching for a luxury waterfront home, a golfer’s paradise or a magnificent view house, Blue Lake Estates offers something for everyone. However, because of it’s desirability, many of these unique properties are passed down from generation to generation and very rarely come available for sale. When they do, they often sell for a premium and very quickly. In fact, in Blue Lake Estates we see many families desiring to stay in the neighborhood but moving up to bigger homes. These local residents often times purchase these rare properties before they hit the market.

If you have ever considered owning a home on Lake LBJ be sure to check out this well kept secret in Horseshoe Bay. Blue Lake Estates offers lifestyle and value beyond compare. Just add golf cart.
