About Rough Hollow

Rough Hollow is a master-planned lakefront community in Lakeway, Texas, situated along the shores of Lake Travis approximately 25 minutes west of downtown Austin. Developed by Brohn Homes and Legend Communities, the community encompasses over 2,800 acres of Hill Country terrain with direct lake access, a private marina, and an extensive trail network that defines the lakeside lifestyle in the Austin metro area.

Homes in Rough Hollow range from approximately $400,000 for townhomes and smaller single-family residences to over $1.5 million for custom waterfront estates. The community offers diverse housing options including garden homes, larger single-family homes, and luxury properties on lots with lake views or direct waterfront access. Builders have included well-known Austin-area names, and architectural guidelines maintain a cohesive Hill Country aesthetic throughout.

Rough Hollow is served by the Lake Travis Independent School District (Lake Travis ISD), a highly rated district known for strong academics and athletics. Students attend Rough Hollow Elementary (located within the community), Hudson Bend Middle School, and Lake Travis High School, whose athletic programs — particularly football — have earned statewide recognition.

The Rough Hollow Yacht Club and marina provide boat slips, kayak and paddleboard rentals, a waterfront restaurant, and a pool complex. Over 30 miles of hike-and-bike trails wind through the community's Hill Country terrain. Highway 620 and Highway 71 connect to Austin, with downtown approximately 25-30 minutes east and the Hill Country Galleria in Bee Cave about 10 minutes away.

Living in Rough Hollow

Rough Hollow delivers the Lake Travis lifestyle within a master-planned framework that removes much of the guesswork from lakefront living. Homes from $400K to $1.5M+ span a range of budgets, and the community's amenities — private marina, yacht club, 30+ miles of trails, pools, and a waterfront restaurant — are included for all residents, not just those on waterfront lots.

Lake Travis ISD's strong academic reputation is a draw for the community, with Rough Hollow Elementary located within the community itself. The trade-off is the commute: downtown Austin is 25-30 minutes east, and traffic on Highway 620 can add time during peak hours. Residents who work in the Bee Cave-Lakeway corridor or remotely find the lifestyle equation particularly attractive. The Hill Country Galleria provides shopping and dining within 10 minutes.

For buyers who prioritize lake access, outdoor recreation, and a resort-style amenity package, Rough Hollow is one of the most complete lakefront communities in the Austin area. The community continues to develop new phases, offering both established sections and new construction options.
