Eighteen acres of Hill Country land stretching along Farm to Market 1174 near Bertram define this property as much as the house itself. The acreage is the foundation here. Rolling terrain with mature native trees creates pockets of shade and open vistas that stretch toward the horizon. This is land that rewards those who want space without the constraint of suburban proximity. The big sky feeling is real. Three miles from Bertram's small-town core and forty-eight miles from downtown Austin, this location sits at the threshold between rural Texas independence and reasonable access to the city.

The 4,800 square foot residence built in 1999 stands as shelter within this landscape rather than its dominator. Twenty-three foot ceilings with custom wood beams anchor the main living areas. A gas fireplace serves as visual anchor in the expansive living room. The home's design acknowledges the land through sight lines and spatial generosity. Stained concrete floors flow throughout, practical and unadorned. The primary bedroom anchors the main floor with dual walk-in closets. Two additional bedrooms connect via Jack and Jill baths, useful for families or visiting guests. The kitchen centers on a large island with granite countertops, gas cooktop, and separate convection and standard ovens. A sunroom and dedicated office with built-in desk provide flexible space for remote work or hobby pursuits.

The real potential emerges in the outdoor infrastructure. A thirty-two by sixty-four foot covered deck handles large gatherings. The two-acre dog-proof fenced yard with ten indoor/outdoor kennels is purpose-built for those serious about their animals. This isn't an afterthought detail. Rain gutters manage water in the Hill Country's seasonal intensity. Styrofoam insulation and three separate air conditioning zones address the reality of Texas summers on open land.

Students in this property's zone attend Bertram Elementary, Burnet Middle School, and Burnet High School through Burnet CONS ISD. The Burnet campus sits seventeen miles south. At $1.60 million ($333 per square foot), this acreage-heavy property values land over house. For buyers seeking genuine Hill Country living with infrastructure for horses, animals, or simply room to breathe, the eighteen acres and FM 1174 frontage create the kind of freedom that money in subdivisions cannot replicate.
