Perched along the shores of Lake Travis, this exceptional Dick Clark-designed residence offers a rare blend of architectural significance and premier waterfront living. Located at 1500 Buffalo Gap, the home sits in a deep water cove within a no-wake zone, providing calm waters, added privacy, and ideal conditions for year-round enjoyment. Designed to capture its breathtaking surroundings, the 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom layout features expansive windows framing sweeping 180-degree lake views. The west-facing rear orientation delivers spectacular sunsets over the water, creating a stunning backdrop for both daily living and entertaining. Clean lines, curated materials, and intentional design elements throughout reflect a modern yet timeless aesthetic. The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen areas flow seamlessly to multiple outdoor spaces, where a resort-style setting awaits. Enjoy a private pool, spa, and fire pit, all positioned to take full advantage of the panoramic views and serene setting. A private tram provides convenient access from the home to the water’s edge. The boat dock is well-equipped with a boat lift and three jet ski ramps, offering effortless access to everything Lake Travis has to offer. Despite its peaceful, tucked-away setting, the property is just minutes from the amenities of Lakeway and Bee Cave, with convenient access to shopping, dining, and daily essentials, as well as a manageable drive to downtown Austin. A rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind lakefront property where design, setting, and lifestyle come together.

Travis Southwest, located between Barton Creek Greenbelt and the Hill Country ridgeline, is a residential and outdoorsy Austin neighborhood with limestone hillsides and winding, tree-lined roads. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Mopac Expressway frontage near the Barton Creek Square area, where big-box retail, local eateries, and steady traffic set a practical, on-the-go tone. Housing leans toward 1970s–1990s ranch-style homes and townhome communities tucked into rolling terrain. Trailheads and creek corridors shape daily routines more than a traditional main street. Barton Creek Greenbelt access points and nearby preserves keep the landscape close. Barton Creek Square and the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema at Slaughter Lane serve as familiar gathering anchors.
