With its glistening lakes and flowing rivers, Llano County is made for spending time on, in, or near the water. That makes Bonnie Brae the ultimate summer getaway. It’s got 67 feet of waterfront on Lake LBJ with great views and easy access.
This contemporary home sits on a rise above the lake with guests descending rock steps through a beautifully landscaped lawn to reach the water. From there, pick from a wealth of options: Fish from the private dock, jump in for a swim, relax on the Lily Pad float, or just lounge on the covered deck or shaded patio and admire the views. There’s a slip for your boat, a ramp for personal watercraft, and a boat lift that’s been modified for pontoon boats.
Indoors, guests will gravitate to the large but cozy living area, where they can build a crackling fire, watch a game or movie on the big-screen TV, play a board game, or just share drinks and conversation.
Even inside, the outdoors is never far away thanks to a preponderance of windows looking out on the beautiful setting that surrounds you.
A spacious kitchen with updated appliances and ample counter space gives your culinary brigade more than enough room to operate. Your crowd can take its meals nearby in an attractive, naturally lit dining area or on the outdoor deck, just outside the living room.
There’s also a state-of-the-art grill that’s nicely shaded, a lakeside casita for serving food and drinks, and a dining table with the lake inches away and breathtaking vistas all around.
This home features three bedrooms and 2½ baths and can accommodate up to 10 guests, plus two more on a sleeper sofa. (If you’re booking an all-adult group, be advised: One bedroom is bunks only.)
Should you hear the call of the open road, Llano is a scenic, 20-minute drive away. You’re bound to enjoy its historic downtown, vibrant arts scene, mouth-watering barbecue, and small-town friendliness.
On the other hand, you might find it difficult to tear yourself away from this piece of paradise on Lake LBJ. Who could blame you? It’s where to stay in Llano County.
