DESCRIPTION
The Sunset Cliff Lake House is a move-in-ready, 2 bedroom, 2 bath waterfront home on Lake Buchanan in the established Council Creek South neighborhood. It sits on about half an acre with three combined lots and +/-230 feet of lake frontage, a dock with a boat lift, and a brand new deck facing west, looking over the water. Lake Buchanan waterfront on multiple lots, with improvements already in place, rarely comes up in this price range.
Location
The home is about 15 minutes north of Burnet and roughly an hour from Austin. That’s close enough for an easy weekend drive and practical for full-time living. Groceries, schools, and medical care are in Burnet, and Marble Falls and the rest of the Highland Lakes are a short drive away. Canyon of the Eagles, Spider Mountain Bike Park, and Inks Lake State Park are all nearby. Access is by CR 137 (Sunset Cliff), a paved county road, and the property is zoned to Burnet ISD.
Landscape
The property sits on the east shore of Lake Buchanan among mature hardwoods, looking west across the open water of the Council Creek arm of the lake. The trees give shade and privacy, and the western exposure puts the sunset over the water every evening.
Water Features
Lake Buchanan is the largest of the Highland Lakes and known for striped bass, white bass, largemouth bass, and catfish. The cove is calm and sees little boat traffic, so it works well for kayaking, paddleboarding, swimming, and fishing right off the dock. Open water on the main lake is a short ride away for boating and water sports.
Improvements
The 1,203 sq ft home was built in 1994 and has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. A newly updated HVAC system has already handled one of the biggest costs a buyer would otherwise face.
About 430 sq ft of brand-new decking extends the living space outdoors, with room for grilling, dining, and watching the sunset over the lake. A dock with an established boat lift is already in place, so a boat can go straight in the water. A separate 240 sq ft storage building holds kayaks, fishing gear, and tools.
Water comes from a private well, and the home is on a septic system.
Wildlife
Whitetail deer move through the neighborhood regularly. In winter, bald eagles nest along the upper lake near Canyon of the Eagles, and herons, egrets, and waterfowl are common along the shoreline.
Use
-
Full-time residence: The 2 bedroom layout, Burnet ISD schools, and a 15-minute drive to town make this a practical primary home with lake access every day.
-
Weekend and vacation getaway: With three bedrooms, a dock, a lift, and a deck over the water, it has room for guests and is ready for long weekends and summer stays without a project list.
-
Investment: Highland Lakes waterfront has long been in demand. Three lots on +/-230 feet of frontage also leave room to expand the home or rebuild over time, which supports long-term value.
Summary
Sunset Cliff Lake House combines +/-230 feet of Lake Buchanan frontage, about half an acre of three combined lots, a dock and lift, new deck, and a newly updated HVAC system. Buyers can move in now, use it as a weekend place, or hold it as a long-term waterfront investment in a quiet cove close to Burnet.
