One of the western most areas, Lake Travis West is largely undeveloped hill country and ranches. The incorporated city of Briarcliff enjoys beautiful views of Lake Travis from atop a series of limestone cliffs. Part of Briarcliff, the once Pedernales Country Club, was purchased by Willie Nelson in the 1970's and converted into a state of the art recording studio. Over the years the facility's client list has included such notable musicians as Neil Young, Ray Charles and Tom Jones. Recreational opportunities for Lake Travis West are only limited by your imagination as the 1,500-acre Pace Bend Park is at your doorstep. Occupying nine miles of waterfront, this very popular camping destination offers boating, swimming, fishing, hiking sailing and horseback riding among other things. The commute to downtown can be lengthy from this area as it is some distance out. Additionally, most routes have junctures that tend to log jam during peak travel hours. This area is good for those who don't mind the commute, are seeking a rural setting and want an acclaimed school district. Convenient shopping amenities are limited.
