Located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, Rough Hollow is one of the most picturesque neighborhoods closer to Austin. An 1,800 acre waterfront community, Rough Hollow is perfect for the person looking for a great school district, world class amenities and lake access. With a full time activities director, multiple amenity centers, a yacht club, marina, lazy river, families could spend their entire Summer vacation at home and actually feel like they got a vacation. It used to be you could only get these types of amenities in Steiner Ranch, but Rough Hollow is quickly changing that story. Much like Steiner Ranch, Rough Hollow homes start in the $500,000’s and scale to multi-million dollar custom, waterfront homes, so as your housing needs change, you won’t have to move neighborhoods. And, if you’re commuting to Downtown or the airport, Rough Hollow is a much easier drive than Steiner Ranch. Scroll Down to Read our Rough Hollow Neighborhood Guide.
