Windy Point is for sale!
Posted: Wed, 13 Jan 2016 02:39 PM - 37,774 Readers
By: Jan Buchholz
A prime piece of Austin real estate is on the market — complete with colorful history, azure blue views and some of the best scuba diving access in these parts. Windy Point Park is almost 12 acres on the shores of Lake Travis near Hippie Hollow — the nudists' beach — and upwind from the Oasis development, where sipping cocktails on the terrace at sunset is a not-to-be-missed experience. Windy Point Park isn't to be confused with the county's beach-like Bob Wentz Park at Windy Point, though they are next to each other. In the Dec. 18 weekly edition of the Austin Business Journal, I'll have a detailed story about the property, the potential for development and the personalities involved. Owners think something big could be built there.
