Property Description
Completely unrestricted with breathtaking views of the entire town of Burnet, this 40-acre property captures the essence of true Hill Country living. Experience space, privacy, and endless possibilities with this property offering both ag and homestead exemptions, making it ideal for a working ranch, recreational retreat, or multi-generational living setup. The land is fully fenced and features a private road with a gated entrance leading to a well-maintained 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath manufactured home set on a concrete foundation and tied down for stability. Inside, you will find two spacious living areas and a covered back porch that perfectly frames the panoramic views of Burnet's rolling hills and sunsets. Outdoors, enjoy a large pond for fishing or watering livestock, along with two impressive barns. One barn is enclosed with electricity, while the other is a pole barn that offers a large covered space for RV parking and four open bays. Both barns are set on concrete slabs. Additional improvements include three storage sheds, a sprinkler system, and an engineered aerobic septic system for efficiency. Sustainability is key with solar panels providing energy savings year-round. A second 4 bed, 2.5 bath manufactured home adds flexibility and could serve as a guest residence, additional living quarters, or an income-producing rental. Peaceful, private, and minutes from downtown Burnet, this exceptional property combines unrestricted freedom, Hill Country beauty, and modern functionality.
