Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a piece of Austin’s future along the Colorado River. Located directly across the Dog’s Head region, this waterfront getaway lot sits in one of East Austin’s most under-the-radar growth corridors. Even more rare, there are currently no other lots for sale in east of Lake Austin in this waterfront corridor. Major growth and infrastructure projects are underway nearby, including the 330-acre expansion of John Trevino Metropolitan Park featuring new trails, recreation areas, playgrounds, river access improvements and green space enhancements beginning in 2026. The planned Bolm District will bring thousands of residential units, hotel space, offices, restaurants, retail and entertainment, while the approved master plan for Walter Long Park includes over $800 million in recreational and mixed-use improvements across nearly 3,700 acres. Directly across the river, a major real estate development group has long targeted the Dog’s Head region for future development and infrastructure improvements. This cleared lot will include 12x12 floating dock (installing soon) so you can immediately start enjoying your own private waterfront escape—fish, kayak, canoe, or simply relax along the river. RV's permitted also! As an added bonus, the Texas Rowing Center training park is just a few lots over for those wanting to explore canoeing, rowing, and outdoor recreation. The next door neighbor is already successfully operating off-grid and one is currently pending a few lots over, further highlighting the area’s appeal for buyers seeking privacy, recreation & self-sufficient living. This is the kind of property you buy, hold & potentially pass down for generations as Austin continues to grow around it. Located in the ETJ and within the 100-year flood plain with no current utilities--live off the grid. Future construction must be built above flood plain requirements. Buyer to verify all requirements with the city, county, and FEMA.
