About This Home
Driftwood Shores Resort spans 2.73 acres on Lake Buchanan with an incredible 875’ of waterfront—your chance to own a proven lakefront resort with massive potential. The property includes 8 fully equipped cottages, 2 homes, a front office, a leased post office, a lakeside party barn, multiple storage buildings, and a long list of amenities designed for easy lake living and income production. The waterfront delivers big: covered boat slips, a concrete boat ramp, natural shoreline with concrete steps into Lake Buchanan, plus a private fishing pier and a picnic pavilion just steps from the water. It’s the ideal setup for guests, anglers, and lake lovers alike. The party barn offers HVAC, a kitchenette, concrete floors, and an attached carport—perfect for events or gear storage. Additional storage buildings include a workshop, supply shed, tractor barn, and garden shed, giving the property the operational backbone of a true lakefront resort. Each cottage features its own grill, parking, AC, kitchen setup, and unique layout, offering flexible accommodations for short-term rentals, long-term guests, or a full resort operation. With no city zoning or regulations, abundant parking, two lakeside firepit areas, and wide-open lake views, Driftwood Shores Resort is a rare opportunity to own, operate, reimagine, or redevelop a multifaceted waterfront property on one of Texas’ beloved lakes.
