About This Home
VIEWS. WATER. LIFESTYLE. This is the Lake Buchanan escape buyers dream about—an exceptional fully furnished waterfront home with nonstop lake views, a sandy beach, private boat access, and serious short-term-rental potential. Set on a prime East Lake Buchanan lot, this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom residence delivers flexible living, high-impact entertaining spaces, and unforgettable sunsets over the largest of the Highland Lakes. The upper level is the showstopper: an expansive primary suite, kitchen, dining, and living area all positioned to capture panoramic water views. Step onto the oversized deck and take in sweeping lake scenery from sunrise coffee to sunset cocktails. The home is designed to make lake life effortless. A dumbwaiter simplifies grocery runs, while a former elevator space has been cleverly reimagined as a large downstairs storage closet and an upstairs bar—ideal for hosting after a day on the water. Downstairs offers a second primary suite, additional living area, guest bedroom, and guest bath—perfect for multi-generational living, weekend guests, or maximizing rental flexibility. Outside, the covered lakeside area creates a ready-made hub for water activities and includes a workshop for gear, projects, and storage. And the access is unmatched: enjoy a private boat ramp at the property plus a dedicated boat ramp in the private POA marina. This is one of only six properties with a sandy beach stretching from the house to the lake, regardless of water level—an exceptionally rare Lake Buchanan advantage. Residents also enjoy Silver Creek Village community amenities, including pickleball, tennis, basketball, and tetherball. Whether you are seeking a high-performing STR, an unforgettable weekend retreat, or a full-time waterfront residence, this property puts you front and center for the best of laid-back East Lake Buchanan living.
The sunset view from 1704 County Road 128 in Burnet is the entire reason to buy this Lake Buchanan waterfront home. Every evening becomes an event when your gathering space opens directly onto panoramic water views and those signature Highland Lakes sunsets that turn the sky orange and pink.
This 2,531 square foot, three-bedroom home sits on 0.491 acres with direct lake access and a private boat ramp. The layout is built for entertaining. Upstairs, the primary suite, kitchen, dining room, and living area all frame Lake Buchanan. The large deck here is where memories happen-where guests naturally migrate as the day winds down, drinks in hand, watching the light change across the water. The vaulted ceilings and track lighting keep the space feeling open and bright during daylight hours, then moody and intimate as the sun drops.
The flow from kitchen to deck is seamless. A breakfast bar keeps the cook connected to conversation. A dumbwaiter and converted storage closet (previously an elevator) handle the logistics of moving food and supplies between levels without disrupting the social rhythm. Downstairs offers a second primary suite, guest bedroom, and additional living area-flexible spaces for extended family or overnight guests who want their own retreat. The second primary bedroom setup is practical for properties where multiple families gather or for owners who value separate sleeping quarters.
The covered area between the house and lake includes workshop space, and the sandy beach access remains consistent regardless of Lake Buchanan's water level-a significant advantage on the Highland Lakes. The boat ramp conveys with the property, as does access to the Burnet amenities: pickle ball and tennis courts, basketball, and a private POA marina with a dedicated boat ramp.
Located in Burnet County, the property sits in the Burnet Consolidated Independent School District, serving Shady Grove Elementary, Burnet Middle School, and Burnet High School. At $1.20M ($472 per square foot), this is a home where the view justifies the investment-where lifestyle and waterfront value align completely. The property hit the market recently and already reflects strong interest. This is East Lake Buchanan's version of the entertainer's dream: water as your backyard, sunsets as your nightly event.
