Perched above the shimmering waters of Lake Travis, 5252 McCormick Mountain Drive presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of true waterfront living in the scenic hills of Austin. The home’s most captivating feature greets you the moment you step inside—a breathtaking, unobstructed lake view framed by expansive windows, drawing the eye straight to the water’s edge. With generous waterfrontage and a panoramic vantage point, this property offers a setting few can rival. Sited on the main basin, this waterfront remained with water lapping its shoreline throughout the recent drought cycle. While the existing home offers a comfortable 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathroom floorplan along with 3 distinct living spaces, the primary value lies in the land, view, and potential for an exquisite build. Whether reimagining the existing residence or designing a custom-built dream estate, the setting provides a foundation for truly exceptional lakeside living. The home’s existing rear patio provides ample room to entertain, relax, or simply soak in the serenity of the lake. Located on McCormick Mountain Drive, this property combines the natural beauty of Lake Travis with proximity to Austin’s amenities, offering an ideal canvas for your waterfront vision. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful retreat or a bold architectural statement, 5252 McCormick Mountain Drive delivers a once-in-a-generation setting ready to be transformed. Security cameras are in use on the premises. Please note that the terrain is uneven and varies throughout the property. Enter at your own risk, and use caution when walking both indoors and outdoors.
