Burnet, TX 78611 (Burnet County)
About this property
Perched atop 40 unrestricted acres with sweeping panoramic views of Burnet and the surrounding Hill Country, this exceptional property delivers space, privacy, and rare versatility. Fully fenced with a gated private road, the land carries both agricultural and homestead exemptions — making it a natural fit for a working ranch, recreational retreat, or multi-generational family compound. The primary residence is a well-maintained 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath manufactured home set on a concrete foundation, offering two living areas and a covered back porch that perfectly frames the rolling hills and signature Texas sunsets. A second 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home adds meaningful flexibility — ideal as guest quarters, family living, or an income-producing rental. The property is built for function as well as beauty. A pond anchors the land for fishing or livestock watering, while two substantial barns — one fully enclosed with electricity, one an open-bay pole barn with RV parking — sit on concrete slabs and provide serious working storage. Three additional sheds, a full sprinkler system, an engineered aerobic septic system, and solar panels round out the improvements with modern efficiency. All of this, just minutes from the heart of downtown Burnet. Whether you're ranching, retreating, or investing, this is Hill Country living at its most complete.
