Highland Haven sits on the eastern shore of Lake LBJ in southwestern Burnet County, about seven miles west of Marble Falls on RM 1431. With a population around 418, it’s one of the smaller, quieter Highland Lakes communities — six parks are spread around the lake for residents, and the pace here is genuinely slower than the bigger towns nearby.
Why People Choose Highland Haven
Lake LBJ is a constant-level lake — it stays at the same elevation year-round instead of fluctuating with rainfall like most Highland Lakes reservoirs, which matters if you’re picturing a dock and boat that are actually usable every month of the year, not just after a wet spring. Highland Haven’s small size means less traffic, more privacy, and a real sense of knowing your neighbors, while still being a short drive to Marble Falls for groceries, restaurants, and everyday errands.
What to Know Before You Buy Here
- Being on the eastern shore, Highland Haven sits in Burnet County (the Burnet/Llano county line runs down the center of Lake LBJ itself).
- Because this is a small, established community, inventory moves differently than in a larger subdivision — fewer listings at any given time, so timing and having someone watching the market for you matters more here than in a bigger market.
- If lake access and dock condition matter to you, that’s worth evaluating property by property rather than assuming — not every lot has the same shoreline character.
