Where lakefront elegance meets resort-style living

Welcome to Rough Hollow

Welcome to Rough Hollow, an exceptional lakeside community in Lakeway, Texas, where the Hill Country’s rugged beauty meets refined lakeside living. Overlooking the shimmering waters of Lake Travis, Rough Hollow is a master-planned neighborhood that blends resort-style amenities, luxury homes, and a strong sense of community. It’s a place designed for those who crave a balance between adventure and tranquility — where each sunrise over the lake invites paddleboarding, boating, or a quiet coffee on the deck with panoramic views.
 
Life in Rough Hollow is defined by its easy luxury and connection to nature. The community’s network of trails, waterfront parks, and recreational facilities encourages an active outdoor lifestyle, while the Rough Hollow Yacht Club & Marina, the Highland Village amenities center, and several top-rated schools nearby make it an ideal choice for families and professionals alike. Its homes—ranging from elegant villas to custom estates—reflect the craftsmanship and natural textures that define Hill Country architecture. Rough Hollow isn’t just a place to live; it’s a lifestyle that embodies the very best of lakeside Texas living.
 

Around Rough Hollow

Rough Hollow sits on the western edge of Lakeway in Travis County, about 25 miles west of downtown Austin. The neighborhood stretches along the southern shoreline of Lake Travis, offering dramatic lake vistas, rolling hills, and an unmistakable Hill Country backdrop. Its elevated topography provides many homes with stunning sunset views across the lake and easy access to the water through its private marina.
 
The community is part of the greater Lake Travis region, known for its blend of natural beauty and upscale convenience. Major roads like Bee Creek Road, Highlands Boulevard, and State Highway 71 connect Rough Hollow to nearby destinations such as Lakeway, Bee Cave, and the Hill Country Galleria. Residents can reach central Austin in about 35–40 minutes, while everyday needs—groceries, dining, fitness studios, and medical facilities—are just minutes away in Lakeway’s town center.
 
Getting around Rough Hollow feels both private and connected. Within the neighborhood, scenic walking and biking paths link residential enclaves to community amenities like the Yacht Club, fitness center, and the Highland Village pool complex. Beyond its gates, the winding roads lead directly to outdoor escapes—lakeside coves, marinas, and parks—making it easy to blend errands, recreation, and leisure into one seamless experience. Rough Hollow’s location offers that rare balance of seclusion and accessibility: close enough to Austin’s energy, yet immersed in the peaceful rhythm of lakefront life.
 

Lifestyle & Community

Rough Hollow offers a lifestyle that captures the essence of modern Hill Country living—laid-back yet luxurious, adventurous yet family-oriented. The neighborhood’s atmosphere is calm and upscale, shaped by its lakeside setting and resort-style amenities. Residents are drawn to its balance of nature and sophistication, where weekends are spent boating on Lake Travis, exploring scenic trails, or gathering for neighborhood events at the Highland Village clubhouse.
 
The community is home to a mix of families, professionals, and retirees who value privacy, space, and a strong sense of belonging. Many residents work in Austin’s tech, healthcare, or education sectors but prefer the tranquility of lakeside living after hours. Its culture is community-driven but relaxed; neighbors know one another, children bike freely through quiet streets, and social events—from wine tastings to fitness classes—keep the social rhythm alive year-round.
 
Rough Hollow’s lifestyle revolves around both recreation and retreat. Residents enjoy direct access to the Rough Hollow Yacht Club & Marina, a fitness center, resort-style pools, tennis courts, and an extensive network of trails. The community also benefits from being part of the Lake Travis Independent School District, known for academic excellence and strong community involvement. Whether it’s paddleboarding at sunrise, hiking through the canyons, or enjoying lakeside dining, life in Rough Hollow is about living deliberately and with ease—immersed in beauty, yet grounded in comfort.
 

Real Estate in Rough Hollow

The Rough Hollow real estate market reflects its status as one of Lakeway’s most sought-after communities—upscale, competitive, and steadily appreciating. The median sale price of a home in Rough Hollow reached $1.3 million last month, marking a sharp 56.5% increase from last year. The median sale price per square foot stands at $281, up 10.8% year-over-year, showing continued confidence in the area’s long-term value.
 
Homes here range from lock-and-leave villas and modern townhomes to sprawling custom estates with panoramic views of Lake Travis. Architectural styles lean toward contemporary Hill Country—stone exteriors, open-concept designs, large windows, and seamless indoor-outdoor living spaces that capture the surrounding landscape.
 
The market is somewhat competitive. Homes typically sell in about 102 days, with some receiving multiple offers. On average, homes sell for around 3% below list price, while “hot” listings can go pending in just 41 days, selling for about 1% below asking.
 
Investing in Rough Hollow means investing in more than real estate—it’s a stake in an elevated lifestyle. With its resort-caliber amenities, prime lakeside location, and consistent property appreciation, Rough Hollow remains one of the strongest luxury housing markets near Austin. Its appeal lies not just in the homes themselves, but in the unmatched quality of life that comes with living by the water in one of Texas’s most desirable Hill Country communities.
 

Factors to Consider When Buying or Selling Properties in Rough Hollow

Buying or selling in Rough Hollow involves several unique factors that set the neighborhood apart from other parts of Lakeway or the Austin area.
 
First, lake proximity and views heavily influence property value. Homes with direct Lake Travis views or closer access to the water—especially near the Yacht Club & Marina—tend to command premium prices and sell faster. When buying, consider elevation, orientation, and lot positioning to maximize lake vistas and privacy. For sellers, showcasing these natural assets through photography and staging is crucial for attracting serious buyers.
 
Second, HOA regulations and amenities play a major role in ownership. Rough Hollow is part of a master-planned community with multiple sub-neighborhoods, each governed by specific HOA guidelines. Buyers should review HOA fees, which cover access to amenities like the marina, fitness center, pools, and landscaping. These fees can vary depending on the property type, but they also add tangible lifestyle value that helps properties maintain high resale potential.
 
Third, market timing and competition are key. The Rough Hollow market is somewhat competitive, with homes selling in roughly 102 days on average and hot listings moving in just over a month. Buyers should be prepared to act quickly on desirable listings, while sellers should anticipate longer lead times for higher-end or custom homes. Strategic pricing and professional marketing—especially with drone visuals and lifestyle-focused presentations—can make a significant difference in reducing time on the market.
 
Fourth, new construction vs. resale decisions matter. Rough Hollow continues to expand, with builders offering new custom and semi-custom homes. Buyers must weigh the convenience and customization of new builds against the immediate move-in readiness and established landscaping of resale properties. Sellers of existing homes should ensure their properties remain competitive against newer builds through upgrades or pricing strategy.
 
Lastly, environmental and infrastructure considerations come into play. Because the neighborhood lies within the Lake Travis watershed, certain properties may have restrictions related to water use, landscaping, or drainage. Additionally, the community’s hilly terrain may impact construction costs or accessibility. Working with an agent experienced in Lakeway and Rough Hollow transactions is essential for navigating these nuances.
 
Overall, purchasing or selling in Rough Hollow requires balancing lifestyle aspirations with practical considerations—location, amenities, and timing—all within one of the most desirable and steadily appreciating lake communities in Texas.
