Across Central Texas, this trio captures the enduring appeal of space outdoors and room to shape a lifestyle. In Lago Vista, Lake Travis sets the tone, from rooftop-deck and porch views in a partial-construction home within the LVPOA to a waterfront estate with roughly 130 feet of deepwater frontage and a private two-slip dock. Farther out in Wharton, a 23.75-acre tract with a pecan grove and seasonal creek shifts the focus to land, history, and long-horizon potential.

On Congress Avenue in Lago Vista, this partially constructed residence is defined by its rooftop deck, where the listing notes incredible views that set the tone for everyday living. Below, an open back porch offers a sense of privacy—an easy backdrop for quiet mornings or unhurried evenings outdoors. Inside, the layout includes a primary suite positioned on the staircase level, adding flexibility to how the home can be experienced as it comes together. Located within the LVPOA, the address also connects to community life, with access to the Bar-K Park, a clubhouse, and the area’s broader set of amenities. With its outdoor spaces already establishing a rhythm of view-filled and private moments, the home hints at a future that balances retreat and recreation.

Set on a broad sweep of fenced acreage in Wharton, this 23.75-acre holding pairs quiet rural space with a landscape shaped by both time and use. Roughly 50–60 pecan trees are spread across 11 acres, while a seasonal creek runs through the property, marking a natural divide in the terrain. Just beyond it lies the former footprint of a 10-acre San Augustine grass farm, a reminder of the land’s agricultural past. Majestic oaks and native hardwoods bring shade and a calm, park-like feel across the grounds. A home sits on site and is being sold as-is, valued at zero, inviting a future owner with the vision to reimagine the existing structure. With a prior ag-exemption, it suits agricultural, recreational, or residential redevelopment at an unhurried pace.

Along the water’s edge on Lake Travis, this gated waterfront estate pairs deepwater living with a sense of quiet arrival. A long driveway winds past mature oak trees to a 3-car garage, while 1.5 acres and ~130 feet of frontage create true breathing room. Inside, soaring ceilings and a wall of windows pull in natural light and panoramic lake views that anchor everyday moments and easy entertaining. The kitchen is built for gathering, featuring a Thermador gas range, additional oven, warming drawer, microwave, ice maker, quartz countertops, bar, and a butler’s pantry with ample cabinetry. The layout includes 5 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms, with a bunk room that sleeps six, a screened-in patio off the primary suite, and a private balcony off the guest suite. Outside, enjoy a covered deck, fire pit, and a private boat dock with two slips—then return to a golf course neighborhood with a pool, tennis and pickleball courts, waterfront park, boat launch, marina, and restaurants.
