Some properties ask you to renovate. This one asks you to imagine. At the edge of Austin's coveted 78704, this approximately 0.668-acre property offers a rare opportunity to create something uniquely your own just minutes from Downtown, South Lamar, South Congress, Zilker Park, and Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. What's Your Vision? • Luxury Private Estate • Family Compound • Boutique Townhomes * • Duplex or Residential Redevelopment * • Live/Work Concept * • Professional Offices * • Medical or Wellness Office * • Coffee Shop or Bakery * • Boutique Retail * • Neighborhood Service Business * • Creative Studio * • Investment Property • Hold for Future Appreciation • Something Completely Unique * Buyer to independently verify zoning, development standards, and permitted uses with the City of Austin. The existing residence contributes primarily land value, allowing the next owner to focus on what's possible rather than what's already here. Surrounded by mature trees and offering exceptional depth in one of Austin's most desirable neighborhoods, opportunities like this are becoming increasingly difficult to find. For a complete walk-through of the property and surrounding neighborhood, search "1806 Fort View Video Tour" online.
South Lamar, located between Lady Bird Lake and Ben White Boulevard, is a walkable and entertainment-forward Austin neighborhood with a strip-mall-meets-bungalow streetscape and a late-night dining scene. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around South Lamar Boulevard near Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, where marquees, patios, and food-truck lots keep the sidewalks in motion. Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, Uchi, and The Broken Spoke anchor the area’s cultural rhythm. Mid-century apartments and newer mixed-use buildings line the corridor, while side streets hold older cottages and small courtyards. Pocket parks and the nearby lake trail shape daily routines. The terrain rises toward Zilker, with skyline views appearing between live oaks.
