Welcome to Rough Hollow

Enjoy gated homes steps away from Lake Travis.
 
Rough Hollow is part of Lakeway, which is approximately 40 minutes outside of Austin. The lakeside communities nestled along the shores of Lake Travis offer its residents lake access as well as private swim docks. Rough Hollow is approximately 1,800 acres in size but is home to gated neighborhoods like The Bluffs, Cypress Ridge, East Rim, Lakeridge, and the Overlook. This exclusive enclave has world-class resort amenities and offers residents membership at the family-friendly Yacht Club & Marina. 
 
The architectural style of Rough Hollow is considered Mediterranean due to the many stucco and stone homes or Hill Country Modern. Hill Country Modern is a term unique to this central area of Texas and the limestone vistas that dot the horizon. Hill Country Modern homes are often built with white Texas limestone, which occurs naturally in this region. A singular design touch of a Hill County home is that it will often have windows in gridded panes to manage the amount of light allowed to enter the home in stylish, refined facets. Rough Hollow homes tend to range from 3,500 to 5,500 square feet.

Local Lifestyle

Rough Hollow is a rare community in that it's perfect for families because residents enjoy hotel-like perks at the local tennis, golf, sporting, and yacht clubs with world-famous chefs. With resort-style amenities like that, it's one of those places where residents don't need to leave to find sumptuous accommodations, opportunities to relax, social events, and live music at the sports clubs.
 
The clubhouses are the center of life in gated communities, and new sports often draw the most attention. With the Rough Hollow Yacht Club and Marina, there are plenty of watersports, ranging from everything from paddleboarding to traditional sailing. The newly popular sport of pickleball is taking the Yacht Club by storm! Additionally, it's always tee time somewhere in Rough Hollow and private courses like The Hills Clubhouse and Yaupon Golf Course abound to delight golfers. 
 

Dining, Entertainment & Shopping

Rough Hollow is a gated community, so there is less public access to places like large shopping malls and mixed-zoning sectors due to how it has been designed as an award-winning planned community. While the clubhouses offer many in-house entertainment sites, many residents would recommend the Lakeway Resort & Spa as a place for friends to stay. Friends can even fly into town on their personal aircraft and land at The Lakeway Airpark!
 
In terms of exquisite dining options, The Canyon Grille at the Rough Hollow Yacht Club has a cozy patio that faces Lake Travis. Club members can call in their food and never have to leave the comfort of the resort. The yacht club offers several small eateries and a couple of bars, including one that's swim-up. Only a few miles away, The Grove Wine Bar & Kitchen offers an alternative with thin-crust pizza and a curated wine list when couples want the perfect date night. 
 

Things to Do 

The Rough Hollow Lakeway Welcome Center has three swimming pools, a ship and watersport store, and valet services. The clubhouse features a coffee bar, deli, and event pavilion, providing even more entertainment for the locals. If it's time for residents to leave their favorite clubhouses, then there are plenty of natural parks to explore. The area boasts hundreds of parks and places to view the wildlife alongside Lake Travis and/or The Colorado River. 
 
The Roughollow Lakeside Trailhead is a moderate 30-40 minute hike to the most popular overlook at Lake Travis. The Canyonlands is a scenic but more challenging trail for more accomplished hikers. Many locals value both the resort community and the surrounding area as places to hike, cycle, and walk their dogs.
