Property Description
Set atop 40 unrestricted acres with sweeping, panoramic views of Burnet and the surrounding Texas Hill Country, this exceptional property offers space, privacy, and rare versatility - perfectly suited for a working ranch, recreational retreat, or multi-generational family compound. Fully fenced with a gated private road, the land carries both agricultural and homestead exemptions, helping keep ongoing costs manageable while preserving the land's productive use. The primary residence is a well-maintained 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath manufactured home set on a permanent concrete foundation, offering two separate living areas and a covered back porch that frames rolling hills and unforgettable Texas sunsets - a view that changes with the seasons but never gets old. A second 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home adds meaningful flexibility to the property - ideal as guest quarters, space for extended family, or an income-producing rental to help offset costs. Built for both beauty and function, the property features a pond that anchors the landscape, offering opportunities for fishing or serving as a reliable water source for livestock. Two substantial barns support serious ranching or storage needs - one fully enclosed with electricity, and one open-bay pole barn with dedicated RV parking, both set on solid concrete slabs. Three additional sheds provide further storage for equipment, tools, or supplies. A full sprinkler system, engineered aerobic septic system, and solar panels round out the improvements, blending rural character with modern efficiency. Despite its sense of seclusion, this property sits just minutes from the heart of downtown Burnet, offering easy access to local shopping, dining, and amenities without sacrificing privacy or space. Whether your goals are ranching, retreating, investing, or building a legacy property for generations to come, this 40-acre Hill Country property delivers Texas land ownership at its most complete.
