In Austin, lake living is no longer just about rustic cabins or weekend retreats—it’s about finding a home that feels like a private getaway and supports your everyday life. That’s exactly what you’ll find at The Hollows on Lake Travis, a thoughtfully designed community where scenic views, smart infrastructure, and natural beauty come together on the North Shore of Lake Travis.

If you’re searching for a lakehouse in Austin, homes with a lake view, or homes near Lake Travis, The Hollows on Lake Travis is where the best of the Hill Country meets modern comfort.

The New Definition of Lakehouse

In the past, “lakehouse” might’ve meant a fixer-upper by the water or a second home for the weekends. But today’s buyers are looking for something more: a home that offers peaceful surroundings and lake access, without sacrificing everyday convenience, tech, or design.

At The Hollows, lakehouse living means:

• High-elevation homes with wide-open views of Lake Travis and the Texas Hill Country

• Contemporary floor plans with large windows, outdoor living spaces, and energy-efficient construction

• Modern infrastructure, including high-speed fiber internet, smart home compatibility, and EV charging-ready garages

This isn’t just a lake home. It’s a home that works for how you live now, whether you’re fully remote, semi-retired, or raising a family who craves nature and space.

Lakeview Homes with Everyday Living

You don’t have to live right on the water to feel the lake in your day-to-day. Many homes at The Hollows are designed with views, breezes, and privacy in mind. Built into the hillside or nestled among oak trees, they take full advantage of the topography, with features like:

• Large decks and patios for sunset dinners

• Open-concept kitchens with lake-facing windows

• Walking and golf-cart access to amenities and trailheads

It’s everything people are searching for when they look up lakeview homes in Austin, but with a smarter layout and a more peaceful setting.

Why Austin Buyers Are Looking to Lake Travis

Austin’s growth has pushed more homebuyers to look west and northwest, toward neighborhoods with space, scenery, and breathing room. The Hollows sits just 20–30 minutes from Cedar Park and Northwest Austin, but feels like a true escape.
