116 Thomas Ridge Rd
About this property
Picture a little stone farmhouse on nearly three fenced acres, tucked down a quiet country road in Thomas Ridge, a neighborly, beautiful corner of Burnet where the Hill Country opens up all around you. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers 1,960 square feet with no carpet anywhere, just tile and warm wood floors throughout, a wood-burning fireplace for cool Texas evenings, an extra-large laundry room off the kitchen, storage closets at every turn, and a massive upstairs bonus room ready to become a media room, game room or home office. The big projects are already done, with a new roof, water heater, breaker box, flooring and fresh paint in 2025, all-new double-pane windows and exterior doors with a transferable warranty, and HVAC less than a year old. Outside, the land leaves room for whatever you picture, from a big garden to a flock of chickens (yes, they’re allowed), with a large detached shed wired with electricity, a metal carport beside the garage and a whole-house water softener rounding out the practical details, all at a property tax rate of about 1.3%. Life here feels like small-town Texas at its best: H-E-B is under 10 minutes away, shopping, dining and the waterfront at Hamilton Creek Park are a 5-minute drive, and Lake Buchanan and Inks Lake State Park are each about 10 minutes down the road, with Longhorn Cavern State Park, Spider Mountain Bike Park, Delaware Springs Golf Course, Camp Longhorn and several Hill Country wineries all close by. Zoned to Burnet CISD: Shady Grove Elementary, R.J. Richey Elementary, Burnet Middle and Burnet High.

Location
About the Area
116 Thomas Ridge Rd is located in Burnet, 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.
Burnet had an estimated population of 6,630 as of 2023. The 78611 zip code has a median household income of $78,243, a median home value of $291,400, and a median age of 48.6. The average household size is 2.46 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.
