Discover the perfect canvas for your architectural masterpiece on this sprawling water front lot. . It’s not just a "lot." It’s 1.3+ acres of Natural Central Texas beauty combining natural stone, old-growth trees & native plants/wildflowers that lead straight into the water. Most lake lots feel like you’re on top of your neighbors, but here? You actually have room to breathe. Boasting an expansive footprint, this property features stunning natural rock outcroppings and a gentle slope toward the pristine waters of Lake Buchanan. Whether you envision a modern glass retreat or a classic Hill Country estate, the generous lot provides ample room for a sprawling floor plan, outdoor living oasis and breathtaking views. Water is included in the HOA (provided by the community water processing plant.) The Private Marina and Boat Launch are moments from your future front door allowing you to enjoy seamless lake access and a dedicated boat slip.

Come see the vision for yourself! Stand on the rocks at sunset, looking at the still water of the lake, with a cold drink... it’s the quietest, most peaceful thing you’ll ever experience.

About the Area
308 Peninsula Dr 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.

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.
