About this home
Welcome to Back of the Moon, a secluded waterfront retreat on deep water Lake Travis. This private, gated community spans 25 acres with just four residences and 400 feet of pristine lakefront, complete with a private dock featuring a dedicated covered boat slip for each lot.
This particular home (lot 4) offers nearly 6 acres stretching to the lake and a 2,591 sq. ft. main home with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, plus an additional 1,188 sq. ft. garage apartment with 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, and an open living/kitchen concept with breathtaking lake views. Below, a bonus room with its own bath provides the perfect flex space for an art studio or entertainment area. Inside the main home, soaring beamed ceilings in the living, dining, and kitchen spaces create a striking centerpiece, while natural light pours through custom windows and trim. A favorite spot? The treetop deck off the primary suite with panoramic lake and Hill Country views.
Back of the Moon’s landscaped grounds are equally captivating - heritage oaks, a cascading fountain that flows into a pond, and trellised seating areas framing the lake. The best part? One of the other residents in the HOA gave up a massive portion of their acreage for a “community area” easement, allowing everyone to enjoy the most spectacular stretch of grass and trees right down the center of the property.
Getting on DEEP Lake Travis with acreage, a private dedicated boat slip, over 4,000 sq. ft. of living space, and an additional shared guest house for under $1.3 million is unheard of. You can’t even find an empty piece of land for this price. It’s an extraordinary opportunity in front of you. Keep the property as is and use it as a weekend lake getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city, or renovate and make it a permanent residence. Either way, this is the ultimate Lake Travis sanctuary at an insane price.
