If you’re looking at homes for sale in Bay Country, Horseshoe Bay, you’re looking at one of the neighborhoods built around Horseshoe Bay Resort’s golf courses. Bay Country sits close to Lake LBJ and to the resort amenities — golf, the yacht club, tennis — without necessarily putting you right on the water, which usually means a lower price point than the direct waterfront streets nearby.
I’m Robbie English, REALTOR and Broker at Uncommon Horseshoe Bay, and Bay Country is one of the Horseshoe Bay neighborhoods I show buyers regularly.
What’s typically for sale in Bay Country
- Custom-built homes: Many Bay Country homes are custom builds with higher-end finishes, and outdoor spaces built around the Hill Country climate — covered patios, pools, larger lots.
- Golf-course homes: Some back directly onto Horseshoe Bay Resort’s fairways, with easy access to the clubhouse.
- A limited number of lake-access properties: A smaller share of Bay Country homes have direct Lake LBJ access, which commands a premium over the rest of the neighborhood.
- Newer construction: A handful of newer homes have come onto the market with more modern layouts and updated systems.
Living in Bay Country
- Proximity to Lake LBJ — boating, fishing, and lake access are a short drive away even without a private dock.
- Resort amenities — Horseshoe Bay Resort’s golf courses, tennis courts, and spa are accessible to residents.
- Location — Bay Country is about six miles from downtown Marble Falls and roughly 50 miles from Austin via Highway 71, so you’re close to shopping and dining without being in the middle of it.
School zoning in Horseshoe Bay depends on the specific address — Marble Falls ISD, Burnet CISD, and Llano ISD all serve parts of the area, since the town spans Burnet and Llano counties. I’ll confirm the district for any home you’re seriously considering.
