The Trails of Horseshoe Bay is a roughly 390-acre gated community on Lake LBJ, built around an on-site marina, a full Equestrian Center, and more than four miles of groomed trails that wind through Hill Country terrain toward Packsaddle Mountain. Most homesites here run one to five acres, so if you want real space — and you’d like a boat or a horse to be part of daily life instead of an occasional trip — this is one of the few communities in the area built for both.
I’m Robbie English, Broker of Uncommon Horseshoe Bay, and I help buyers weigh The Trails against the other waterfront communities around Horseshoe Bay.
The types of homes available
The Trails offers a mix of custom-built estates and elegant modern residences. Many properties feature:
- Expansive lots – most homes sit on one to five acres, giving you privacy and room to spread out.
- Luxury finishes – high-end kitchens, spacious primary suites, and custom details are common throughout the community.
- Waterfront and water-view homes – some properties offer direct lake access; others have sweeping Hill Country views instead.
- Equestrian-friendly lots – a rarity in most newer developments. Phase III lots run five-plus acres, enough to keep horses on your own property.
Pricing here reflects the lot size, waterfront access, and amenities more than square footage alone — expect the mid to high end of the local market.
Community amenities
- On-site marina – Lake LBJ is a constant-level lake, so it’s dependable for boating and water sports year-round.
- More than four miles of groomed trails – for hiking, biking, or horseback riding through the surrounding terrain.
- A full Equestrian Center – a round pen, professional exercise arena, and stables for residents who keep horses.
- Proximity to Horseshoe Bay Resort – residents have easy access to the resort’s golf courses, dining, and spa.
How The Trails compares to other Horseshoe Bay waterfront
If acreage and horses aren’t a priority, it’s worth comparing The Trails against other Horseshoe Bay waterfront homes closer to the marina, or looking further down the chain at Cottonwood Shores waterfront and Marble Falls waterfront for a lower entry point on the same lakes. I also keep a full guide to Horseshoe Bay’s individual communities if you want the bigger picture.
With a limited number of properties available at any given time, homes in The Trails don’t stay on the market long. Reach out and I’ll walk you through what’s currently listed.
