About this home

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.
