Mark,

Any good agent will know the 725' Lake Level mark. I owned the Scuba Shop on Lake Travis for years and now live in Houston. We have looked for Lake Front property to retire on for the last 2 yrs. The economy hasn't effected the water front one bit, YET!!! You can't build under that level. I looked at property last yr, 3/4 acre on water for $285,000, no house, and it was perfect. Didn't realize the elevation was 700'. A couple months later it was under several feet of water. Lake Travis may not be Lake Tahoe but it is some of the best in Texas and is very beautiful. Lake Travis is a variable lake level. Will vary sometimes, in a drought, 30-40'. Yet it is 200' deep in front of damn. Lake is known as the clearest lake in Texas.
You can't go wrong with Austin, Bring your car and a boat!!!

Welcome

Larry Boatner
