5 Texas Hill Country Homes and Lots with Scenic Views

From its elevated setting at the highest peak in the Stone Mountain gated development, this 2.85-acre view lot opens to sweeping southern vistas that stretch more than 20 miles and take in several lakes. The land slopes gently from east to west, offering a choice of cleared building locations that let you shape a homesite around the panorama. For those drawn to an equestrian rhythm, the POA allows one horse per acre—supporting up to two horses here—and the property is already fenced to accommodate them. Water is provided by an HOA-owned well managed by Aqua Water, while POA guidelines call for a site-built home with a minimum of 2,000 square feet. With 50-foot front and side setbacks and a 50-foot rear conservation easement, the setting feels intentionally spacious. Stone Mountain sits 11 miles northwest of downtown Marble Falls, offering a quiet horizon and a daily sense of room to breathe.

Size: 2.85 acres

Set on 10.16 heavily wooded acres in Oakwood, this retreat is shaped for unhurried days outdoors, with established trails weaving through the trees. Inside, the atmosphere stays warm and inviting, with rustic finishes, barn doors, covered porches, and a metal roof that suits the setting. The living room flows easily into the kitchen and dining area, designed to accommodate a large table for long meals and easy conversation. The primary suite opens directly to the backyard and includes an ensuite bath with a tile shower.

Along the water’s edge in Kingsland’s desirable Lakeside Heights community, this 2023-built residence pairs contemporary ease with a thoughtful, open plan. A split-bedroom layout balances everyday comfort with privacy, while the connected living, dining, and kitchen area is designed for effortless gathering. Granite countertops anchor the kitchen, and wood plank tile and ceramic tile flooring run throughout for a clean, cohesive feel. Outside, a back patio opens to a fenced back yard—well-suited for children and pets—supported by a sprinkler system for simple upkeep. A 2-car garage adds practical convenience. Life in Lakeside Heights also comes with access to Lake LBJ through two private homeowner parks, each offering a boat ramp and pavilion, plus a private fishing pond known as “The Little Lake,” making time outdoors part of the routine.

On Terry O Lane in Austin’s 78745, Unit 419 sits on the top floor—the fourth—with no one above you and a courtyard-facing orientation that separates it from outward-facing residences. The effect is noticeably quieter and more private, with south-facing natural light pouring through 8-foot sliding glass doors. Those doors open to a large private balcony overlooking the pool and courtyard, creating an easy rhythm between indoor living and open air.
