TX parks and wildlife website or LCRA website made recent mention of this, but didn't speak of coordinates... Not everything would have been built of wood, you know... I'm sure there are brick and limestone structures in the mix of buildings/houses that were flooded over when the lake was impounded...

yea i saw it on news 8 and KXAN , i thought it was out by volente beach cause that used to be the road into the town before they flooded it ( so ive heard ) . gotta remember these house's were built back in the late 1800's mostly out of the rock around here .

schneider's cove...

we went there two weekends ago at about 2am by boat. pretty cool. the house that's out of the water is the smaller outbuilding, the main house is still under..... for now...
