It’s not a houseboat. It’s not a boat house. It’s not even a ship, but this property that literally sits on a body of water in Texas is getting more than a few looks thanks to its dramatic — and unique — build.

And it’s also for sale in Round Top for $5.75 million.

The two-bedroom, three-bathroom estate sits on a dock that’s over the water and comes with a lot of nature space.

“The contemporary three-story glass house commands attention, perched elegantly over a serene two-acre pond,” the listing on Sotheby’s International Realty.

“With panoramic views of 23-plus acres, this property is a true retreat for family, friends, or clients. Imagine lazy afternoons by the fully stocked pond, its concrete perimeter inviting you to fish, boat, swim or paddleboard. A cascading waterfall spills into a small pool on top, creating a soothing oasis.”

Features in and around the 2,700-square-foot home include:

  • Skeet shooting

  • Rope swing

  • Guest bedroom

  • Party barn

  • RV hookups

  • Game fencing

  • Six bay barn

  • Two equipment barns

The listing is held by Linda Plant of Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty.

Round Top is about an 80-mile drive southeast from Austin.
