About this property
Escape the ordinary and step into your own private Texas paradise. Just under an hour from both downtown Austin and downtown Killeen, this remarkable 56-acre estate blends untouched natural beauty with modern comforts—perfect for those seeking tranquility without sacrificing convenience. At the heart of the property lies a breathtaking 2-acre, stream-fed pond—crystal-clear and fully stocked (per seller)—framed by two lush, wooded creeks. Wander deeper and you’ll discover a secluded marshland, hidden within an untouched forest that covers nearly half the property. Wild deer and wildlife roam freely, and the land offers abundant wild onions, carrots, and yucca—a true haven for nature lovers and foragers alike. Gently rolling elevation rises to a vantage point with sweeping views over the picturesque Joppa area, offering the perfect setting for a future dream home site or scenic overlook. Whether you envision building your forever home, creating a private retreat, or pursuing a larger development opportunity, this property is ready to bring your vision to life. The property is supported by a private well tapping into an underground stream—capable of filling the pond with ease—and delivering excellent water pressure and natural balance. Built in 2020, the charming 950 sq ft farmhouse features two bedrooms, two living rooms, one full bath with a walk-in shower, a half bath, and modern utilities including a large septic system, county electric connection, and well water. A high-clearance barn provides storage for large vehicles or equipment. A neighboring rancher currently grazes cattle on the land and is willing to continue, offering a seamless way to maintain its pastoral charm and agricultural exemption. This is more than land—it’s a lifestyle. Properties this close to the city, with this level of privacy, water, and natural beauty, simply don’t come along often. Come walk it once, and you’ll never want to leave.

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.
