Build with a head start on 2.8 usable acres in gated Ridge Harbor on the south shore of Lake Travis. The property offers flexibility for a future custom residence, including an area beyond a mature cedar grove that can remain naturally screened for privacy or be selectively cleared for a more open Hill Country setting. Separate water and sewer taps are already in place, current driveway access is from the county road, and future driveway access may also be available from within the gated community. A major advantage over unimproved acreage is the existing approx. 3,872 SF heated/cooled barndominium-style structure with 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and a large garage/workshop with room for vehicles, boats, RVs, equipment, hobbies, and storage. The generous square footage and flexible layout also offer potential for multigenerational living or future rental use. Priced below the cost to recreate comparable finished space and improvements today, the property offers exceptional value while preserving the opportunity to build a future primary residence. The existing improvements provide immediate functionality while future building plans take shape. Ridge Harbor provides private Lake Travis access, two boat launches, marina, waterfront park, pool, tennis, and pickleball. Per HOA, minimum home size is 2,500 SF, and subdivision may be possible. A favorable 1.32% tax rate adds to the appeal. Located near the growing Thomas Ranch master-planned community and its expanding residential and commercial development, with convenient access to Muleshoe Bend, Lakeway, Bee Cave, Marble Falls, and Austin. A rare opportunity to secure usable acreage, infrastructure, substantial improvements, and future building flexibility without starting from raw land.
