What makes your home a Green or Healthy Home?
Please see the Home Description section for MANY Green features included in the home. Plus, during construction, we tried to recycle as much as possible (metal, lumber, etc.), conserve energy, gas, and be conscious of how our choices affected the environment.Property Description

Neighborhood Description
Great weekend/summer retreat home, or a nice place to retire or raise your kids in the beautiful Hill Country area of Texas. The City of Sunrise Beach Village is about an hour west of Austin, Texas, and miles away from any large towns. Many parks nearby with boat launching facilites. Lots of deer, trees, and hills. Many of the homes in the Sunrise Beach area are weekend and summer homes. There are only about 700 permanent residents that live here year round. While many people have homes on the lake itself, these homes are mostly in the $400k plus range, with high lakefront taxes. This home is across the street from the lake. So, you get the benefit of being near the lake, without the lakefront prices. Sunrise Beach boasts a general store/gas station, and two restaurants. Sunrise Beach Resort and Marina is just west of the property.Market Area
Sunrise Beach is about 60 miles west of Austin, Texas. Marble Falls, Texas is about 23 miles east of Sunrise Beach.
