Rough Hollow on Lake Travis Update
Rough Hollow is a large development in and west of Lakeway with Lake Travis frontage. Out of the 2400 acres in Rough Hollow, about 400 have been developed. Of the rest, 600 acres will be left as green space and an additional 500 acres will be parks, greenbelts or preserves.
I talked with a builder’s rep for Grand Haven Homes, one of the more active builders in Rough Hollow. They have two sections in which they are building right now. The Overlook has 60 and 65 foot wide home sites. Grand Haven is building 3 spec homes there right now. Homes will range in size from around 1850 to 3100 square feet. Prices in the Overlook are expected to range from around $350,000 to under $500,000.
Grand Haven is also building in a new section off of Rough Hollow Blvd., which is not open to the public yet, called The Woodlands. They have sold 8 homes in that area and all are under construction. The Woodlands has larger home sites than the Overlook and homes will be larger. Grand Haven expects to build about 50 units in Rough Hollow in 2010.
Rough Hollow is already home to an area that has a fitness center, pool, pavilion, restaurant and marina. The Grille is the restaurant and I had lunch there today. The food was excellent. Another amenities center is planned on the new side of Rough Hollow. Called the Trailhead, this will have 2 pools, a lazy river, a fitness center, a day care and tennis courts. The Trailhead is where 22 miles of hike and bike trails converge.
Rough Hollow is the largest development going in western Travis County with Lake Travis frontage. Future plans as Rough Hollow continues to develop have room for waterfront homes, ball fields, an elementary school, another amenities center with marina access and a hotel site. The target date for Rough Hollow to be built out is 2017.
What I saw today and what I have seen over the last couple of years tells me that Rough Hollow is going to be a very nice community. It should be a very attractive place for home buyers looking to move up, buy second homes or make a lateral move into a new home.
