About This Property

1801, 1709, 1713, and 1717 Lightsey Road present a unique chance to acquire four contiguous lots in one of Austin's most dynamic and sought-after neighborhoods. Existing structures are being sold as-is in their present condition and are currently in a partially deconstructed state.

Surrounded by beloved local spots like Elizabeth Street Cafe, Loro, Bouldin Creek Cafe, and the iconic Continental Club, these lots offer unbeatable access to everything that defines the South Austin lifestyle. Whether you're envisioning a custom residential enclave, creative development, or a long-term investment in Austin's urban core, the opportunity here is unmatched.
