The 5,978-square-foot custom home at 1071 Escalar Drive in Buchanan Dam, Buchanan Dam sits on 12.875 acres with unobstructed views across three lakes - Lake Buchanan, Inks Lake, and Lake LBJ. The hilltop location captures sunset light across Packsaddle Mountain while remaining far enough from the water's edge to avoid the noise and congestion typical of traditional waterfront properties. Instead, a deeded boat slip provides lake access via a short golf cart ride to the community marina, giving you dock time without sacrificing the tranquility of your primary residence.

Inside the home, built in 2001 and recently renovated, the open floor plan creates fluid movement between spaces. Vaulted ceilings and recessed lighting define the multiple living areas, while an elevator connects all floors - essential on a sloped property. The kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances including a wine refrigerator, and a breakfast bar opening to the main living zones. A study with home office capability and a primary bedroom suite with two walk-in closets anchor the main floor, while the secondary bedrooms provide flexibility for guests or extended family.

The land itself is the home's defining feature. A terraced waterfall and koi pond create focal points for the rear landscape, where mountain laurel and specialty trees number in the hundreds. Fourteen flower gardens and planters line the perimeter, while fenced gardens supply vegetables and a separate fenced run accommodates dogs or children's play. The property includes dual water storage tanks (5,000 gallons combined), a 25-kilowatt backup generator, and qualified wildlife tax exemption status. Automatic sprinkler systems with rain sensors manage the landscaping across the cul-de-sac lot.

The Burnet Consolidated ISD serves the property, with RJ Richey Elementary, Burnet Middle School, and Burnet High School as assigned schools. At $417 per square foot, the 2.50 million dollar price reflects both the acreage and the infrastructure that transformed this hilltop into a self-sufficient retreat. This is Hill Country living where you wake to lake views, maintain complete privacy, and control every detail of your outdoor world.
