We’ve written about the gorgeous Belvedere neighborhood off Hamilton Pool Road in the past and are still impressed with this well run community minutes from the thriving Bee Cave/Lakeway area. With a total of 223 home sites (some already have houses on them), this master planned luxury community has acreage home sites starting at around $125K and homes from the $800s to almost $2 million. And while other luxury neighborhoods in Austin are slowing down in sales, Belvedere is going strong! Sales this year include 8 homes and 15 home sites, with 3 lots currently under contract. Note that these numbers don’t include lots sold directly from the developer since they are not listed in the MLS, so actual sales of Belvedere real estate is even higher.

We have a great home site available in Belvedere right now at a great price. At $139K, the home site at 18009 Flagler Drive is a flat 1.2 acres with a greenbelt view. “Flat” is key since it means every bit of the home site is usable, and foundation costs will not kill your custom home budget. Learn more about the property at Belvedere Lot for Sale or tour the property with a home site expert at Reilly Realtors by calling Michael Reilly at 512.600.1800.
