About this property
Firefly is only 8 minutes away (5.2 miles) WOWZA! What a rare property! If you are an employee needing housing, this is a one of a kind find. If not, it is still a rare find. The 6.5 acre setting is very private & the home isn't seen from the street. The construction is over the top with 1 foot thick block walls, that are concrete reinforced & go 10 feet high for the 1st floor. The 2nd floor also offers the same 10 foot high ceilings & it has 2 x 6 wall construction for added strength & insulation. So what does this all mean? Energy efficiency for the Texas weather. It is amazing the difference walking into this home. The owner has always had low utility bills. The a/c heating systems is zoned w/ 2 units. This helps. The heating & range (new) are propane. The downstairs features stained concrete floors & the upper floor has solid wood flooring. (Tile floors in both baths) The master bath features a separate shower & a 6 foot soaking tub that is insulated to retain the heat. The interior was just painted & the exterior was painted a few months ago. The patio deck was just stained and painted. There is a large front porch to keep out of the heat. The upper balcony is great for morning coffee as its shaded and offers a pleasant view. There is a huge stone patio on the other side of the home. Actually there is aprox 1,250 feet of porch, deck, patios. The 2 car detached garage/workshop features (2) 220 plugs & is large enough for bigger vehicles with space for equipment if needed. There is a large 1 car covered carport on the end. The attached former garage is now set up as a heated & cooled workshop, laundry or workout room. (Not included in the living square footage) The concrete block walls make a huge difference. There is an overhead door & opener. OH! There is a 10x10 safe room/storm shelter is in the middle of the home with reinforced block walls, concrete ceiling, steel door that could also make a great store room.

Location
About the Area
500 Spring Creek Rd is located in Florence, Texas, in Burnet County. Burnet County sits in the heart of the Highland Lakes region, anchored by the city of Burnet, the Bluebonnet Capital of Texas, and Lake Buchanan, the largest of the Highland Lakes chain. The county blends working ranch land with lakefront recreation in a landscape that has drawn Texans for generations.
The Colorado River was dammed in the 1930s to create the Highland Lakes chain, and Lake Buchanan and Inks Lake both lie within Burnet County. The terrain transitions from the granite-topped Central Mineral Region in the west to limestone hills in the east, with the Colorado River canyon cutting through dramatic bluffs.
Florence had an estimated population of 1,215 as of 2023. The 76527 zip code has a median household income of $83,533, a median home value of $370,400, and a median age of 39.5. The average household size is 2.96 people.
Lake tourism, retirement communities, granite quarrying, ranching, and small-scale agriculture drive the Burnet County economy. The county is experiencing significant growth as Austin-area buyers seek lakefront properties and acreage within a 90-minute drive of the city.
