5 Texas Hill Country Homes with Pools, Acreage, and Lakefront Views

Set on 3.62 usable acres in the sought-after Silver Hills community, 1140 Desert Gold offers a fully renovated Hill Country retreat designed for modern, flexible living in Boerne ISD. Inside, a warm, inviting layout features generous living spaces, abundant natural light, and an easy rhythm for both everyday comfort and hosting. The kitchen opens seamlessly to the living and dining areas, creating a functional flow for gatherings large or small. Outdoors is where the lifestyle expands: a detached flex space, currently arranged as a home office, can adapt as a studio, gym, guest quarters, or hobby space, while the barn supports storage, animals, projects, or recreational use. Full fencing, two gated access points, and posts for cross-fencing set the stage for future livestock areas. Under wide open skies and mature surroundings, privacy and convenience meet with ease.

Within the gated Woods at Sonterra, this single-story custom home sits on a corner cul-de-sac lot, designed for easy indoor-outdoor living around a 2021 pool with waterfall features. Broad windows bring in abundant light and frame direct pool views, complemented by high and tray ceilings, crown molding, recessed lighting, and recent hard-surface flooring and paint with no carpet. The layout includes three bedrooms, three full baths, a private study, two living areas, and two dining areas. A split primary suite adds a sitting area, bay windows, patio access, two walk-in closets, dual vanities, linen storage, and an oversized shower. The updated kitchen pairs white cabinetry with Sub-Zero refrigeration, stainless appliances, double ovens, a wine refrigerator, decorative backsplash, and an island with apron-front sink plus a built-in desk. Outside, enjoy a covered patio with fan, extended grilling area, privacy fencing, gutters, French drain, and a sprinkler system, with golf-cart access to The Club at Sonterra (membership separate).

On a quiet common in Town Creek SD, this very stylish residence places you within a short walk of historic downtown New Braunfels. Inside, the layout is designed for flexible city living, with two distinct living areas that can shift from relaxed gathering spaces to more formal entertaining zones. A first-floor office/study adds an everyday sense of ease, whether you’re working from home or carving out a dedicated reading room. Upstairs, a third-floor loft/studio opens to numerous possibilities—creative workspace, media lounge, or a tucked-away retreat—made even better by a balcony that extends the living space outdoors. With multiple levels and purpose-built zones, the home supports a rhythm that feels both connected and comfortably independent, day after day.

From its elevated setting in Marble Falls, this ranch-style residence balances wide-open country living with town conveniences just minutes away. Set on 9.49 acres in Timber Ridge, the property is arranged for a true rural lifestyle, with horses and cows allowed, lush pastures, mature trees, and a small horse barn already in place. Inside, a thoughtfully planned split-bedroom layout offers three bedrooms, 2.5 baths, multiple living spaces, and an open-concept flow that suits both quiet mornings and easy entertaining. High-end finishes run throughout, while the private primary suite stands out with a large walk-in closet, double vanities, a walk-in shower, and a jacuzzi tub. A 2-car attached garage and a 1,200-square-foot workshop with RV/carport storage round out the everyday practicality, leaving plenty of room to live, work, and roam.

Along the water’s edge in Spring Branch, this 1.42-acre lakefront setting includes two houses and a separate garage-and-shop building tucked behind the main residence. The updated main house offers 3 bedrooms and 3 baths, with a deck and balcony oriented to the lake—an easy place to linger as geese, heron, and even nearby cattle drift through the view. Next door, a super cute guest house provides 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, plus a two-car carport and an adjacent shed for everyday overflow. Beyond the buildings, the landscape reads as an ongoing nature watch: curious foxes, hawks overhead, whistling tree ducks, and a small deer family passing through. Days here move at the pace of the shoreline.
