Applehead Island · Lake LBJ · Horseshoe Bay, TX
A home that owns the water around it.
Offered at $5,395,000
THE POINT ON THE ISLAND —
270 DEGREES OF WATER VIEW.
186 FEET WATER FRONTAGE.
There are waterfront homes, and there are homes that command the water. Sited at a rare tip of an Applehead Island peninsula, this residence is one of the most coveted positions on the island—where the land runs out and the water takes over on three sides.
Lake LBJ unfolds in a full 270 degrees of unobstructed open water. The home claims a remarkable 186 feet of total water frontage. The canal is 180 feet wide.
Rebuilt as a contemporary residence in 2022 and reimagined, updated and repaired by the current owner to an exacting standard. Clean white volumes, warm white oak floors, black steel window walls and soaring vaulted ceilings that pull the lake inside.
This property depicts a level of investment that could not be replicated today for $7 million.
While the cul-de-sac setting keeps the home quiet and private it offers a commanding waterfront stance.

A covered cabana with full outdoor kitchen complements the deck. Steel cable balconies on two floors overlook the lake.
