As Lake LBJ real estate continues to rise, some buyers are forced to look elsewhere for affordable opportunities within their budget.  Interestingly, prices on Lake LBJ have skyrocketed in the last few years but that trend has not been so evident on nearby Lake LBJ, leaving room for some great opportunity.

My newest listing on Lake Marble Falls is a package of two, adjacent waterfront tracts in well known Waterside Cottages neighborhood.  This small gated subdivision is located off of HWY 2147 in between Marble Falls and Horseshoe Bay.  This two lots together have a total of approximately 93 ft of water, incredible views and a perfect building site to construct your dream home on Lake Marble Falls.  The package is priced at $300,000 and when you look at the comps in the neighborhood you will find that this is a very good deal.  More importantly, when compared to nearby Lake LBJ waterfront lots you will not find this type of water at a price anywhere close to this one.

While Marble Falls is no Lake LBJ, it is a very nice lake for boating and fishing and offers the great convenience of being very close to the city of Marble Falls and accessible to all the shops and restaurants you have come to love.  I have spent a good amount of time boating, particularly surfing on Lake Marble Falls and I have to say it really is quite nice.  Because the lake is smaller you have much less boat traffic and the peaceful environment and majestic scenery is hard to beat.

This just might be the right opportunity to create your waterfront getaway!  Contact me today at (512) 786-1515 or to learn more about the Waterside Cottages in Marble Falls.

The majority of my waterfront buyers are looking for a turn-key investment, something that is move-in ready on Lake LBJ.  They often times make an impulse buy in the one weekend they are in town on something that meets their needs.  Most buyers lack vision and need someone else to create the end product for them.  For that reason, we see that most waterfront lots on Lake LBJ sit on the market for a long time as most people do not want to mess with the building process.   For this reason, I recommend opening your search up to include waterfront lots.  Buying a great lot and building your dream just might be the best way to invest in Lake LBJ Real Estate.

Everyone wants the end result but very few have the vision, time and patience to create it!  For those that do have the vision and are willing to create their own, the upside and initial equity is typically very strong.   Waterfront lots average many more days on market and are considered less liquid and for this reason typically end up selling at a deep discount.  Lot owners most likely had plans to build but then life came along and changed that plan.  For that reason, the lots get listed and in the end the sellers usually get tired of waiting and are anxious to make a deal.

Its also important to point out that new construction on great water is very hard to come by.  Typically you see a great waterfront property with an old cabin or a great house on average water.  Buying a great lot and building exactly what you want will typically land you in a good spot on Lake LBJ.  In fact, given current market conditions its likely that one could sell as soon as construction is complete and make a strong return on investment.

Below is a list of 3 great waterfront lots on Lake LBJ that I believe have great upside:

541 Sandy Mountain – This property is a great lot in highly desired Sunrise Beach.  It faces directly east with cove protected waterfront and open water views along with great views of hill country in Kingsland. It has great trees and an existing boat house with metal piers into the water ($35k-50k value). Id build 1500-2500 sq ft on this lot and I think you would have a great property

559 Crestwood – I believe this is one of Lake LBJ’s finest lots.  Crestwood is in my opinion the best street in Kingsland and this lot has huge old growth oak trees, cypress etc and a perfect building site.  The waterfront looks like you are in another part of Texas.  I think the $1million price tag is high but hire the Lake LBJ Expert and let me help you get the price down.  Here I would build 3500- 4000 sq ft and I believe you would easily have a $2.5-$3million home.

Lot 185 S Shorewood – This here is a great lot that has good cove water.  What I love most about this lot are the great trees and ideal building site.  There is an old boat house that needs to be torn down and redone but this could make for a great waterfront cabin site.  I would build 1500-2000 sq ft here and it would be a waterfront dream

If you are in the market for a great piece of Lake LBJ real estate and an even better place to build your dream home, look no further than 232 Green Acres in Granite Shoals. First off, Green Acres is one of the nicest streets in Granite Shoals and home to multi million dollar neighboring estates. Most recently, 224 Green Acres (two houses down), was listed at $1,775,000 and is currently pending in just 17 days. This lot, 232 Green Acres, has 113 ft of water and nice topography down to the water creating impeccable panoramic views of Lake LBJ and the Texas Hill Country.

Another great feature of this lot is the existing boat house, constructed of steel and concrete, and containing an existing living space with half bathroom offering a HUGE value to the future owner of this lot. It is estimated that this boat house would cost 65k-75k to build new and with a little remodel, this boat house could match the house you build and be a real asset. It also serves as a great place to park your water toys on Lake LBJ while you wait for your dream home to be built.

Lastly, the water on this property is what I consider to be very deep for Lake LBJ providing plenty of depth for swimming and boating. The granite bottoms makes for ideal swimming conditions and the large cove protection makes maneuvering your boat in and out of the slip a breeze, even on the busiest of days. This lot is being offered for sale at $500,000. If you are interested in learning more about this beautiful piece of Lake LBJ real estate contact me at (512) 786-1515.

If you are in the market for an awesome piece of Sunrise Beach Real Estate, do not overlook the waterfront lot at 541 Sandy Mountain Drive. The seller’s of this excellent piece of property have reduced the price to a very aggressive price of $375,000. This, very-flat, build-able waterfront lot has excellent trees, amazing views and a boat house made of concrete a steal. This property sits on a small cove but offers huge open water views and a straight look at the Texas Hill Country in Kingsland. The lot faces east, offering excellent exposure and protection from the afternoon sun and with 51 ft of waterfront on Lake LBJ, its hard to go wrong.
