Here is the ideal getaway for rest and relaxation with something for everyone. This 2900 square foot, two-story house has four bedrooms, an indoor spa tub (hot or cold), a large well-equipped kitchen, and second-story decks on all sides. Located on a small cove a short distance from open water, you can enjoy views of the lake from the large second-floor dining area, the balcony, or from the deck over the boat slip, which shades your boat and is but a few steps from the house. There are numerous public boat ramps and quiet parks just around the corner.
You can enjoy a game of foosball downstairs on the Shelti Pro III or win at poker on the game table also downstairs with super comfy chairs. There are also numerous games for both children and adults in the closet between the two upstairs BRs. With three TVs, games, and a library of both CDs and DVDs, there is something for everyone.
From the lake house, you can boat east to the Wirtz Dam, south to Horseshoe Bay, or north to Kingsland then go west and explore the Llano River. Lake LBJ has numerous coves to explore. If you do not have a boat or personal watercraft, you can rent one locally.
The quaint town of Marble Falls is ten minutes away, with shopping, movies, restaurants, HEB (grocery), and Wal-Mart. We also offer a FREE shopping service so you're sure to have all you need for a breakfast banquet on your first morning as our guests.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2004
We live an hour away between Jonestown and Cedar Park across from what used to be Lake Travis. The water there has receded, so there has been no water for over two years now. I lived in the area as a child, but my spouse is a transplant from the beautiful Lake Michigan area. I guess you'd call us lake people. We have seven grandchildren, but only two are local. The others are in Raleigh, NC. We also have a pair of small Shih Tzu dogs that love the lake area as much as we do. We had six puppies May '09 (lots 'o fun!). My spouse works a 12-hr night shift in SE Austin, so has 3-4 days off per week. Plenty of time to enjoy our Lake LBJ home.
Why the Owner Chose Granite Shoals
We previously had a smaller rental on Lake Travis, but sold it, and now there has been no water in front of that location for two years or more. Lake LBJ is a constant-level lake, so boating is never hampered by low water. The area is a quiet, congenial, slow-paced kind of place where folks wave as they drive by even if they don't know you.
The Unique Benefits of this House
There is a lot of wildlife wandering around - watch out for prized plants, a favorite of the local deer population. We had a very small fawn take up residence in the shady plants of our tree round in front of the house. We named this place for the two peacocks who liked to wander our property. Butterflies, song birds, and millions of stars on quiet nights all add up to a magical wonderful place to rest and relax.
