What clients say

“Johnny not only helped me buy a great home in Lakeway at a great price back in January of 2021 but he then helped me sell that same house for over $200K of what we purchased it for only 9 months later. Johnny helped us get an offer that was $50K over our asking price. We are extremely happy with Johnny as our "go-to" guy for anything related to real estate.”

Ryan B. · Lakeway buyer & seller

“Johnny guided us to our dream home. He understood exactly what we were looking for and he made the process flow smoothly and gracefully. I never imagined buying a house could feel so easeful! We are so grateful we had Johnny to show us just how smooth the process can be!”

Brandilyn B. · Lake Travis buyer

“I am so grateful that my family and I found Johnny! Johnny is incredibly hardworking, knowledgeable, and detail-oriented, and he TRULY cares about his clients. He worked nonstop to help us find our perfect home and we couldn’t be happier with the results of his hustle and care.”

🎯 Angel Bay Off-Market Snapshot (Updated September 2026)

Angel Bay trades quietly — long listing times at the top mean the right buyer often comes from a private conversation, not a portal. I track Angel Light Drive, La Isla and the Coves on Angel Bay Drive. If you want first look, let's talk.

Pocket Listings — Not on Zillow

The best Angel Bay homes often trade before they ever hit Zillow, Realtor.com or the public MLS.

With only a few dozen large lots, Angel Bay opportunities are rare, and the best waterfront parcels often change hands before they're widely marketed. Call me before you search anywhere else — the good ones move fast and won't wait for an open house.

What Do Homes in Angel Bay Sell For? 2025 vs 2026 Closed Sales

Short answer: Angel Bay is too small for a median: 3 single-family homes closed through the MLS between January 2025 and October 2, 2026 (1 in 2025, 2 in 2026), at prices from $1.31 million to $1.9 million. With so few sales, individual homes and private sales matter more than any average here.

What Angel Bay Actually Is

I've been selling Austin luxury real estate for 20 years, and Angel Bay is one of those addresses where, when someone tells me they live there, I immediately know three things about them: they wanted acreage and deep water together, they value privacy over a busy amenity center, and they didn't mind a longer drive to get it.

Angel Bay is a recorded property owners association community in Spicewood, in western Travis County, on a deep-water peninsula of Lake Travis with frontage on Schneider's Cove. You get there from Highway 71 via Bee Creek Road, Thurman Bend Road and Angel Light Drive. Its plat and deed restrictions were recorded in 1999.

Listings split the area into a few names. "Angel Bay" covers North and South Angel Light Drive and Angel Song Cove. "La Isla at Angel Bay" is a gated section of about 20 homesites of 1.75 to 3.5 acres, with homes built from the mid-2000s on. The homes on Angel Bay Drive itself are actually a separate subdivision, the Coves on Lake Travis, with its own HOA.

This is big-lot country. Many lots run 4 acres and up, and one estate sits on about 88 acres. There are no streetlights or sidewalks, and homes are on septic — the trade-off for the space and the dark skies.

Owners share a community marina and boat ramp at Angel Song Cove, plus a lakefront clubhouse and park. Not every lot is waterfront: some have private docks, some have lake views and use the community ramp.

Why Angel Bay Punches Above Its Weight

  • Deep-water peninsula frontage — the Coves' listings note boats stayed navigable through the last big drought.
  • Acreage you can't find closer to Austin, with Lake Travis ISD schools.
  • Gated La Isla adds privacy without a big-HOA feel.

The Angel Bay Price Bands

  • Lots (~$475K–$1.1M): Waterfront and view homesites for custom builds.
  • Entry homes (~$1.6M–$2M): Established homes on 2+ acres, some with private docks.
  • Mid ($2M–$4M): Newer or larger La Isla and waterfront estates.
  • Trophy: An 88-acre estate listed at $17.9M.

Bands are based on September 2026 listings (asking prices), not closed sales.

Schools: Lake Travis ISD in Angel Bay

Angel Bay is served by Lake Travis ISD. Listings show West Cypress Hills Elementary, Lake Travis Middle and Lake Travis High School. (Confirm assigned campuses for any specific home.)

Lifestyle: Who Lives in Angel Bay

The acreage buyer — Wants land, a dock and no neighbors in sight.

The Lake Travis ISD family — Wants the schools with far more room than Lakeway offers.

The builder — Buys a waterfront lot and builds a custom lake house.

Commute & Daily Life: The Real Numbers

  • Downtown Austin: about 45 minutes
  • Hill Country Galleria in Bee Cave: about 25 minutes
  • Highway 71 via Bee Creek Road and Thurman Bend Road is the route in
  • Rural roads — no sidewalks or streetlights inside the neighborhood.

Lifestyle, Dining & Local Life

Along Highway 71 you'll find Poodie's Hilltop Roadhouse, It's All Good BBQ, Angel's Icehouse and Opie's Barbecue. Stone House Vineyard on Haynie Flat Road is a favorite nearby winery.

The Lighthouse in Briarcliff is reachable by boat, and Hill Country Galleria covers bigger shopping and dining.

Angel Bay vs. Siesta Shores vs. Briarcliff: Which Is Right for You?

  • Angel Bay — best for deep-water acreage estates and total privacy in Lake Travis ISD.
  • Siesta Shores — best for a lower entry price with private parks and ramps nearby.
  • Briarcliff — best for a lake village with a marina, restaurant and the gated Lakecliff golf enclave next door.

If you want to get onto the water for less, Siesta Shores. If you want a village with services, Briarcliff. If you want acreage, deep water and quiet, Angel Bay is the one. I'm happy to tour all three with you in one afternoon.

Why I Love Selling Angel Bay

Angel Bay is a market where every lot is its own story — water depth, dock rights, septic, views and whether the dock even conveys. Getting those details right is what protects a buyer at this price, and it's exactly the work I love doing.

“Johnny did an incredible job helping me to negotiate the price down on this house. We got tens of thousands of dollars in discounts that I would not have had without his support. He remained available to me through several months of escrow while the house was being fixed up and was incredibly helpful in identifying new contractors.”

Andrew H. · Austin buyer

Off-market access

Ask me what is quietly for sale in Angel Bay

Not every home here reaches Zillow or the public MLS. Some sellers will trade privately but will not sign a listing agreement, and those homes only surface through relationships. Mine run 20 years deep — a cross-brokerage network, Austin Luxury Network access, and Johnny’s Off Market Private Luxury Listings. Some of the coolest and most coveted luxury properties in Austin only ever sell as pocket listings.

More from clients

“We were so fortunate to have found Johnny Ronca 7 years ago when we bought our first home in Austin. He helped us find the right house in the right neighborhood, for the right price. He was so great we came back for his expertise when it was time to sell that first home and to help us with the purchase of our next home. Our family has definitely found our lifetime realtor.”

India G. · Repeat client, buyer & seller

“He sent us tailored options that considered all of our must-haves and was patient with us being super picky too. Once we found The One he went above and beyond to get our offer accepted within our budget — on a Saturday afternoon too! It was a really tight timeline before the holidays and before baby was born, and there’s no way we could have done it without Johnny!”

Margeaux O. · Austin buyer

“Johnny Ronca has been an invaluable asset throughout the sale of our old home and the purchase of our dream home. During the sale, Johnny facilitated a bidding war and got an all-cash offer significantly over our asking price. He helped us find and strategize our way into our new dream home and negotiated a way for us to move in prior to closing.”
