Lake Travis Waterfront Opportunity

Welcome to 17123 E Darleen, Leander, TX. You have arrived.. Step through the veil into your very own private retreat. Hidden on the shores of Lake Travis within the enchanting Trails End enclave, this extraordinary 5.8 acre-plus sanctuary feels like something out of a fairytale. Towering oaks and cedars shade the rolling land; dappled light dances across native undergrowth; the air hums with the hush of water meeting land. 

Here, the 3-bedroom, 1-bath main house stands as a comfortable foothold, surrounded by multiple outbuildings that speak of utility and potential. Wander down winding paths through woodland corridors to discover a rustic cabin perched at the water’s edge, offering panoramic lake views and serenity across Lake Travis’ rippling surface.

This is not “just another waterfront lot.” It’s a canvas of dreams, a sanctuary cloaked in trees, where water meets stone and architecture meets poetry.

“Picture waking before dawn, stepping from your cabin to the water’s edge where mist hovers on the lake. Rays of sun pierce through cedar limbs. You walk back up through ferns to the main house, passing a workshop where your architect’s plans are spread, imagining an elevated glass-walled residence above it all. At dusk, your private dock lights up like a soft beacon against the dark water. This land isn’t just a site — it’s a living stage for the life you were meant to craft.”

With shoreline eligible for a custom boat dock, this parcel opens into a realm of possibilities: multiple building sites, each with their own vistas of the lake, ready for a visionary buyer to conceive a true masterpiece—$5M+ estates are well within reach here.

Enjoy the peaceful rhythm of the lake while remaining just minutes to Cedar Park. Whole Foods Market – only about 20 minutes away, anchoring a vibrant retail corridor with HEB Plus, Target, Costco, & Lakeline Mall. With additional dining and shopping options along 1431 & 183A. 

This property lies squarely in Leander Independent School District (LISD)—a district serving more than 42,000 students across 200+ square miles. Within Leander ISD, this is a rare blend of natural beauty, privacy, and accessibility—a place that feels worlds away yet close to everything.
