Anyone interested in a Farm in Texas for a large family?

My Aunt/Uncle's place located in Burnet, Texas (google that, Texas Hill Country) was recently listed: a very unique property.

24 acres, fenced.
-main 3-story farm house (1980)
-living room addition (1988?)
-master suite addition (Entry, office, bedroom, massive bath (platform tub with chandelier, walk-in stone shower, linen room, twin closets & vanities), wet bar, toilet room with bidet, back-room office & closet, stairs to attic, stairs to basement, overlooking long patio, screened in porch for BBQ's. ($400k, built in 2003)
-20x25 basement with engineered tornado vault (6 sides poured concrete, phone, guns, food) and storage for seasonal decorations, wood shop, etc; (did I say big basement??)
-detached 3-car garage with shop area & enclosed storage area (roughly 40x40), 1993.
-circular drive way, cattle guard entrance, stone entry at roadway.
-metal roofs on all structures
-Small boat/motor/trailer to play on Lake Buchanon or Inks Lake
-in-ground 40'x20' pool, 9' deep or so
-detached 2-story pool house (aka bunk house), 2 rooms, 1.5 baths, kitchen, living (1979).
-barn: fits two trucks + rear storage
-agricultural exemption for property-tax purposes
-sheep pen or so
-two tanks: one small, one medium: neither deep enough for fish.
-4-5 acres around house & peripherals is all smooth & mowed regularly.
-maintenance equipment available with purchase (tractor & peripherals, lawn equipment, etc).

5 miles from town, 15 miles from one of the largest lakes (8m across, Lake Buchanon) in Texas.

See 24 more pictures through the MLS link below:

MLS 2412 CR 334, Burnet TX 78611 | MLS# 9892219 | 23.927 Acres out of the GC&SF Railroad Co. & J.R. Sexton Surveys,

I spent 20+ years here, helped design the (~400k) master suite, & can tell you anything from the photos. Time to downsize, they're asking $819k. Could be a perfect country house for a family, a bed & breakfast, or even a corporate retreat.
