This lake house has 80 feet of waterfront on the popular Colorado Arm of beautiful Lake LBJ.  Lake LBJ is one of the largest lakes in the United States that has normally constant level water.  From this location you can boat down the Colorado River a few miles, then boat on down Lake LBJ for about 21 miles, exploring the coves and looking at the expensive homes all the way to Horseshoe Bay.  You can also boat up the Llano River a few miles.

Granite Crossing Lake House No. 2 is located  near Kingsland, Texas about 60 minutes northwest of Austin, 90 minutes north of San Antonio, 3 hours from Dallas/Ft. Worth and 4 hours west of Houston.

This location is about one mile below the dam for Inks Lake.  When the dam is generating and releasing water, the water flows past this location and temporarily raises the water level 6 to 18 inches, giving it the features of a flowing river for a short time.  It is ideal for floating down past the granite boulders in the water and for tubing and boarding.  Guests really love this special feature!
