Due to the central Texas drought, the lake has receded and is no longer in front of the home. Guests can walk to the lake shore (~100 yds) or travel the 12 miles to Inks Lake or Lake LBJ which are constant-level lakes.
This gorgeous two-level home is loaded with superb amenities, including a kayak, deck, firepit, patio with a gas grill, and even central air-conditioning for hot-weather guests. This oasis of a home is the perfect place to truly disconnect from the world as it does not have internet. Downstairs, the spacious living area boasts high, vaulted ceilings, burnished floors, floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the lake and countryside, and a large TV to enjoy your favorite DVD movies and Nintendo 64 games. Spend the day at the beach, then come home to get creative in the full kitchen - just shop for your ingredients to take advantage of the kitchen's cookware, appliances, and expansive countertops to turn out tonight's masterpiece. You and the kids will love baking cookies in the double oven! The washer/dryer will take care of those dirty hiking clothes, so you can afford to pack light for your trip.
Enjoy alfresco meals out on the backyard patio while the little ones romp around. You'll find two bedrooms downstairs, the main with access to the deck and an en suite bathroom, and the second bedroom with a small en suite bath of its own. Upstairs, you'll find a spacious sitting area just off the stairs, with a comfy sofa perfect for catching up on your latest novel. The first bedroom has a small reading nook by the window, while the second features a trundle bed, a bunk, an en suite bathroom, and a nook
This home enjoys a perfect location right on the banks of Lake Buchanan, the largest of the Highland lakes and the farthest from Austin, making it the least crowded. Take the boat out to go fishing, swim off the shores, or explore the area with a good hike. Lake LBJ is also nearby and is a constant-level lake. You'll have plenty of great restaurants nearby whenever you need a cooking break. Inks Lake State Park is only 13 miles south, with many terrific outdoor activities, like golfing, hiking, and exploring the granite hills.

Summary: The house was right on the water and very spacious. Would have loved for it to have a stocked coffee bar. The hot tub was a nice touch!
