About Hudson Bend Colony
Hudson Bend Colony is a residential subdivision on the Hudson Bend Peninsula on the south shore of Lake Travis in northwestern Travis County (78734). The community is organized into multiple sections: Hudson Bend Colony No. 1, Hudson Bend Colony No. 2, and Hudson Bend Colony Section 03.
In the 1940s, developers S.C. McIntosh, Hugh Webb, and Jesse James platted the first subdivisions. Many homes were built in the 1970s, with continued custom building through the present day. The community has no mandatory HOA — the Hudson Bend Colony Neighborhood Association (HBCNA) operates as a voluntary non-profit representing thirteen streets on the peninsula.
Homes range from approximately 1,800 to over 5,000 square feet on lots generally 0.5 to over 2 acres. The mix includes older ranch-style homes from the 1970s alongside newer custom builds. Architectural styles reflect Hill Country character on large, wooded lots. Waterfront properties have direct Lake Travis access, with private boat docks and lifts on individual lots.
The community sits along Hudson Bend Road and Eck Lane, accessible from RR 620 (Ranch Road 620) via Hudson Bend Road. Downtown Austin is approximately 20 miles southeast. The area is served by Lake Travis Independent School District.
