· LAKE TRAVIS · ROUGH HOLLOW ·
Rough Hollow is the amenity-driven, master-planned community on Lake Travis's north shore in Lakeway (78738) — roughly 20 minutes from downtown Austin through the 620/71 corridor, and minutes from the Hill Country Galleria, Bee Cave and the Lake Travis ISD campuses. It is the rare Lake Travis address that pairs deep-water marina access with resort infrastructure: a residents' yacht club and marina, the Highland Village amenity centre, and a full-time lifestyle director running the programming calendar. Where Spanish Oaks leads on gated golf and Hudson Bend on raw water frontage, Rough Hollow leads on lifestyle density.
· Pricing & Product ·
Each tier reflects a different relationship to the marina, views, acreage and amenity campus.
From the mid $700Ks to $1.2M
Attached and lock-and-leave product plus garden homes on smaller lots, clustered close to the marina and the yacht club. The entry point into Rough Hollow living, and the tier most buyers who want the amenities without the acreage actually choose.
View Live Listings →$1M to $2M
Detached homes on the interior ridges and greenbelt lots, typically 3,000–4,500 sq ft, canyon, greenbelt or partial-lake outlooks. Rough Hollow's core family inventory — pools, outdoor kitchens, and newer construction from the community's custom and semi-custom builders.
View Live Listings →$2M to $4M+
Architect-driven homes on the premium elevation and view lots, larger footprints, deeper finish packages, often with casita or guest-house configurations and long Hill Country sightlines.
View Live Listings →$3M to $8M
The top of the community: shoreline and near-water homes with private dock capability or dedicated marina access, the addresses Rough Hollow buyers ask for by name. Pricing here is driven less by square footage than by water depth, dock rights, orientation and cove, so comparable sales need to be pulled property by property rather than by community average.
View Live Listings →· The Enclaves ·
The walkable section closest to the amenity centre and the marina, with townhome and lock-and-leave product.
The heart of the amenity campus and the largest concentration of family homes.
Elevated lots where the canyon and lake views justify the premium.
Shoreline addresses with dock access, the scarcest inventory in the community.
HOA and amenity structure can differ by enclave. Yacht club and marina membership and slip arrangements should be verified per property.
· Lifestyle & Amenities ·
Residents' slips and rentals, a ship's store with fuel pumps, tram service down to the water, and a waterfront restaurant with resident dining discounts.
The amenity hub: adult pool with swim-up bar, family and zero-depth pools, splash pad, the lazy river, fitness centre, event pavilion with demonstration kitchen, amphitheatre and open-air marketplace.
20+ miles of hike and bike trails, tennis, pickleball, basketball, sand volleyball and a multipurpose field, plus a dog park and lakeside parks.
Full-time programming: fitness classes, kids' camps, yoga, wine club, holiday events and resident socials. This is the operational reason Rough Hollow's calendar stays full.
Complimentary paddleboards and kayaks on Lake Travis for residents.
Served by Lake Travis ISD, with Rough Hollow Elementary, Lake Travis Middle and Lake Travis High within a few miles. Verify the assigned campus by exact address, not by the Lakeway mailing address or ZIP.
Minutes to the Hill Country Galleria and Bee Cave, roughly 20–25 minutes to downtown Austin outside peak.
· Who It Suits ·
Rough Hollow suits buyers who want the water and the amenities to be part of daily life rather than a weekend event — families who want the trails, pools and Lake Travis ISD, and empty nesters or second-home buyers who want a lock-and-leave base with a marina at the bottom of the hill. It is less suited to buyers hunting acreage, privacy and silence; for that, Spicewood or Volente are the better conversation.
