About Rough Hollow
Rough Hollow is a master-planned community of approximately 1,800 acres in Lakeway, Travis County, Texas, built along roughly 3 miles of Lake Travis shoreline in the Hill Country west of Austin. The master developer is Legend Communities, and multiple homebuilders construct homes within the community across a range of sections and price points.
Rough Hollow is organized as roughly 10 distinct villages or neighborhoods, each with its own character and lot profile, connected by an internal road network and a trail system of approximately 22 miles. Homes commonly range from the $300,000s into the $3,000,000+ range, spanning production-builder sections near community entry points up through custom waterfront estates on the Lake Travis shoreline.
Community amenities are anchored by the Highland Village amenity center (with a resort-style pool, lazy river, splash pad, and fitness facilities) and the Rough Hollow Yacht Club and Marina on Lake Travis, which provides boat slips, a lakefront restaurant, and direct water access. The community also includes interior parks, sports courts, and the 22-mile trail network connecting the villages.
Rough Hollow is zoned to Lake Travis Independent School District. Rough Hollow Elementary, an LTISD campus, is located inside the community. Middle-school students attend Lake Travis Middle School, and high-school students attend Lake Travis High School. The LTISD attendance zone for Rough Hollow is Lake Travis Middle School, not Hudson Bend Middle School, which serves a different part of the district.
The community sits west of Lakeway's commercial core and south of FM-620, with access via Highlands Boulevard and RM-620. The Lakeway area provides retail, dining, and medical services, and the Hill Country Galleria in nearby Bee Cave is the primary regional shopping center.
