Hilltop Haven in Burton | Two Homes on 11 Acres

Perched atop a scenic hill just outside Round Top, this 11-acre retreat offers a rare blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. With two thoughtfully designed homes, a stone-built two-bedroom main house and a one-bedroom guest house, this property provides the perfect balance of shared gathering spaces and private sanctuaries. Shaded by a majestic century-old oak tree and surrounded by wide-open skies, it’s an idyllic destination for family getaways, group retreats, or peaceful escapes in the heart of Texas.

The main house welcomes you with 1,500 square feet of light-filled interiors, featuring a spacious open living and dining area anchored by a chef’s kitchen with butcher block counters and a large island. Two bedrooms, each with a queen bed, provide restful comfort, while two bathrooms include rainfall showers and modern finishes. Step outside onto the expansive deck with lounge seating and a dining table, where sunset views create the perfect backdrop for evening meals under the Texas sky.

The guest house, with its cheerful red exterior, offers 680 square feet of cozy yet stylish living. A bright and open layout includes one queen bedroom, a full bath, and a compact kitchenette. The living area with a pull-out sofa provides flexible sleeping space, making the home ideal for couples, small families, or additional guests. Its private deck is perfect for quiet mornings with coffee or stargazing at night. Together, the two homes comfortably sleep up to nine guests across three queen beds and two sofas.

Outdoors, you’ll find spaces designed for both relaxation and play. Enjoy coffee under the shade of the historic oak, stroll the wide fields, or gather on one of the south-facing decks to watch the light shift over the rolling landscape. The property also includes a bocce set, children’s toys, and plenty of open land for exploration, making it well-suited for both family adventures and quiet reflection. While the two barns on the property add authentic farmhouse character, they remain closed for safety.

Just eight miles from Round Top, this retreat offers easy access to the town’s famed antique markets, boutique shops, and local dining. Whether you’re spending your days exploring Texas Hill Country, visiting wineries, or simply unwinding on the deck with a glass of wine, this hilltop getaway is the perfect place to reconnect with nature and loved ones in a setting that feels worlds away.
