- Public record
Canyon Homes LLC took a warranty deed on one lot in the Lakecliff on Lake Travis subdivision and, in a second instrument recorded the same day, pledged a lot in the same subdivision as collateral for a loan from Frontage Funding LLC. Both documents were filed with the Travis County Clerk on Nov. 3, 2026. For lot sellers and lenders, it shows one builder buying Lot 15 in one section while borrowing against Lot 15 in another.
Why it matters
Small lot trades by builders are an early read on where Lake Travis-area product is heading, before a permit shows up in the City of Austin or county systems. The pairing of a purchase and a lender filing on the same day is the pattern of a builder financing a start, though the record itself does not say what will be built.

The two instruments do not cover the same ground. The warranty deed (instrument 2026130191) conveys Lot 15, Section 11 of Lakecliff on Lake Travis. The deed of trust (instrument 2026130192) describes Lot 15, Section 7 of the same subdivision. That means the loan is tied to a different lot than the one bought, which would be consistent with a revolving construction facility that covers several lots, but the clerk index does not confirm the terms.
The numbers
- Seller on the deed: Spicewood Golf LLC. The entity name alone does not establish any golf use, and the record does not describe one.
- Buyer and borrower: Canyon Homes LLC. The Texas Comptroller’s franchise tax record lists it as active with a member-manager officer, a Spicewood registered agent and a Texas registration dating to Jan. 6, 2012.
- Lot bought: Travis Central Appraisal District property ID 534789, 0.221 acres, with a 2026 market value of $173,105. That is the appraisal district’s figure, not a sale price.
- Loan: Texas deeds record no price and the Travis index carries no loan amount, so neither a price nor a loan size is reported here.
What’s next
Watch for City of Austin or Travis County permit filings on either of the two lots, which would show the product type and declared job value. A release of lien or additional deeds of trust to the same lender would show whether Frontage Funding is financing a wider run of lots. We will track both through the clerk index and cover them in our Austin market coverage if a start appears.
