The Preserve of 1840 is a 150-acre gated acreage community in Burnet County, Texas, offering 40 finished lots from 3 to 5 acres starting at $175,000 — just 20 minutes from Marble Falls and one hour from Austin.

Comparable gated 3–5 acre lots in the Bertram–Burnet–Marble Falls corridor are trading at $45,000–$65,000 per acre, and The Preserve comes in at roughly $50,000–$58,000 per acre with full infrastructure already complete.
