3 bed, 2 bath, 4,155 sqft on 0.99 acres in Buchanan Dam. Buchanan Dam, TX 78609. $749,000. BurnetCONSISD.
About This Home
Perched on nearly an acre, this custom-built estate offers 4,154 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, perfectly positioned to capture breathtaking views of the lakes and rolling Hill Country. Blending comfort, functionality, and timeless craftsmanship, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home is ideal for both relaxed living and elegant entertaining.
Inside, you’ll find two expansive living areas, providing flexibility for gatherings or private retreats—one even features its own mini kitchen, perfect for hosting guests or multi-generational living. A formal dining room sets the stage for memorable dinners, while a bright and inviting kitchen nook offers a more casual space to enjoy everyday meals with a view.
The oversized primary suite serves as a true sanctuary, complete with dual vanities, an expansive walk-in closet, a luxurious whirlpool tub, and a distinctive glass block shower that fills the space with natural light.
Designed with comfort and quality in mind, the home includes three separate zoned A/C systems for efficient climate control, solid core doors throughout for added durability and sound insulation, and a spacious 3+ car garage to accommodate vehicles, storage, or hobbies.
With its generous lot, panoramic vistas, and well-appointed interior spaces, this property delivers a rare combination of privacy, space, and scenic beauty in the heart of the Hill Country.
At 120 La Plata Ct in Buchanan Dam, Buchanan Dam, the golden hour transforms this 4,155-square-foot home into the kind of place where gatherings become memories. Nearly an acre of gently sloping terrain positions the house to capture sweeping views of the lakes and Hill Country landscape, and from the moment the sun dips toward the horizon, this property becomes a natural gathering stage.
The floor plan was designed for entertaining. Two separate living areas give you flexibility for large groups or intimate conversations. The main kitchen flows seamlessly onto an expansive deck where the real magic happens at sunset. There's a secondary kitchen tucked into one of the secondary living spaces, perfect for managing food and drinks while guests spread across both indoor and outdoor areas. A formal dining room sits ready for evening meals where you're eating with a view, while the kitchen nook offers that casual breakfast-with-a-view setup on quieter mornings.
The deck is where you'll spend those golden-hour hours. It's built for lingering, for hosting, for watching the light change over the water and trees. The house itself-a 2000 custom build on nearly an acre-has the bones for this lifestyle. Vaulted ceilings and beamed details inside amplify the sense of space. Stone veneer and HardiPlank exterior aging naturally in the Hill Country sun. Large trees over 40 feet tall frame the property, and the cul-de-sac location in Buchanan Dam keeps the setting private without isolation.
The primary suite is genuinely considered-dual vanities, walk-in closet, whirlpool tub, glass block shower pulling in natural light. Three zoned A/C systems handle the Hill Country heat efficiently, and a 3-car garage gives you real utility space. The home sits in the Burnet Consolidated ISD zone, with Shady Grove Elementary and Burnet Middle and High School serving the area.
At $197 per square foot on a full-service acre lot, this is the kind of property where entertaining becomes the default mode. The sunset views aren't secondary amenities-they're the reason the kitchen, dining, and deck all align toward the west. This is where you build a life around gathering.
