Picture ending the day on the terrace, the marina below you and the Hill Country going gold as the sun drops over Lake Travis. That is the everyday view from this Lakeridge home on Rough Hollow’s south shore, and it is the reason people fall for this one. You are inside a gated enclave, yet the water is barely a walk away: a private gate opens straight to the marina, the Canyon Grille, and the Shape fitness studio, so a morning paddle or a dinner by the water never involves the car. The layout is an upside-down plan, and it is smart about it. The main level keeps everything you use most within reach of the view, the primary suite, the open kitchen and great room, and the upper covered terrace. Downstairs is where the fun lives, a second living and game room, the guest bedrooms and bath, a bunk room the kids will fight over, and a second covered terrace for the overflow. Two levels of outdoor living mean there is always a place to land. Inside, it is warm and current, wood floors, beamed ceilings, a linear fireplace on a shiplap wall, and a wall of glass that slides away so the room and the lake become one. The kitchen was built for company, a big island and breakfast bar, built-in ovens, a gas cooktop, a walk-in pantry, and a wine bar right by the door. The primary suite is its own quiet corner, with a tray ceiling, barn doors to the bath, a soaking tub, a walk-in glass shower, and a double granite vanity. Built in 2015 by Legacy DCS and made to lock and leave, it is the kind of place you can close up on Sunday and not think about until you are back. And you are buying the whole Rough Hollow lifestyle with it, a shared boat dock, community kayaks and paddleboards, the Yacht Club pool, tennis and sport courts, a playground, and trails for days, plus a spa and recovery room when you want them. Zoned to Lake Travis ISD with Serene Hills Elementary. Come stand on the terrace at golden hour and you will understand why this one is hard to leave.
