About this home

This turnkey short-term rental occupies a prime position on Lake Travis, generating $56,000 in gross revenue April 1st 2025 to March 31st 2026 with peak monthly performance exceeding $8,000. We are currently trending towards even higher annual revenue this year.

The offering includes a 600 sq ft, 1BR/1BA home and an additional site for an Airstream (note: Airstream not included in sale, but owner is open to negotiation on selling). Historically, these two accommodations have split revenue nearly evenly, providing maximum occupancy and flexibility across different guest profiles.

The property is engineered for efficient remote management, utilizing a 3,000-gallon water storage tank with a remote monitoring sensor and a holding tank system for waste (contained black water/grey water drip line). While LCRA well approval has been obtained, current water refills cost approximately $185 per fill. Utilities are established with Pedernales Electric, Waste Connections, and Spectrum.

Notably, the home remained dry during the July 2025 100-year flood event. Current flood insurance through Wright Flood is approximately $2,200/year. Showings are subject to guest occupancy; please text the listing agent to confirm availability and reference the active booking calendars for open dates. HOUSE SITS OUTSIDE OF AUSTIN CITY LIMITS, PERMIT NOT REQUIRED TO OPERATE.
