Lampasas · Burnet · Marble Falls · Gatesville · Copperas Cove
I’m Myles Haider, a licensed Texas REALTOR® working the stretch from Lampasas to the Highland Lakes. Commercial sites, business property, and buyer representation — from someone who spent twenty years on the commercial side of a business before he ever wrote a contract on one of them.
Why work with me
Twenty-plus years with a commercial original equipment manufacturer, running regional aftermarket sales and district service operations. Commercial accounts, multi-party negotiations, and problems that had to get solved on somebody’s schedule other than mine.
My wife and I also own and run a business here in Central Texas, so I’ve been on the tenant’s side of a commercial lease, not just the agent’s. I know what permitting costs you in time, what the wrong location does to a year of revenue, and which expenses nobody mentions until you’re already signing. When you’re looking at a site, that’s what I think about first.
We’re not passing through. This is home, and my name is on the sign in more places than one.
What I do
Primary focus
Highway frontage, retail and service sites, raw commercial ground, and owner-user buildings across the US 183 and US 281 corridors.
The questions that decide whether a site actually works are rarely on the flyer: what the plat allows, where the utilities stop, whether the access point survives a TxDOT review, how much usable acreage the easements take back. Working through those before you’re under contract is the job.
Also
If you’re buying, I work for you, not for the listing. Commercial on the buy side, plus acreage, ranchettes, and homes across Lampasas and Burnet counties.
We’ll talk water, access, easements, and what the survey actually says — before you fall in love with a view.
Current listing
4.75 commercially platted acres with 515 feet of US 183 frontage, half a mile south of the junction that feeds four highway corridors.
$1,500,000
A platted commercial tract on the main corridor into Lampasas, with a second frontage on Old Austin Road making it a corner. Electric, water, and telephone service are already at the site, and a fire hydrant sits on the boundary.
Suited to retail, service, hospitality, or an owner-user who wants visibility from the highway and a second way in off the side road.
The site fronts US 183 about half a mile south of the US 183 / US 281 junction. That junction is what makes the location worth a second look: four corridors leave it. US 183 and US 190 run north toward Lometa, Brownwood, and Fort Worth. US 190 and the future I‑14 run east through Copperas Cove, Killeen, Fort Hood, and Temple to I‑35. US 281 runs southwest through Burnet and Marble Falls to San Antonio. US 183 runs south through Briggs and Leander into Austin.

| Austin | US 183 South | 65 | 1 hr 15 min |
| Brownwood | US 183 / US 190 North | 85 | 1 hr 30 min |
| San Antonio | US 281 South | 110 | 2 hr |
| Fort Worth | US 183 / US 281 North | 140 | 2 hr 20 min |
Distances and drive times are approximate. The survey was performed without the benefit of a title commitment. All information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed and should be independently verified. Property is subject to prior sale, change, or withdrawal.
A good share of the commercial ground in this corridor never gets posted anywhere. If you tell me what you’re after — frontage, acreage, a use you’re trying to fit — I’ll keep an eye out and call you when something lines up.
Track record
The first sale of my career, and not an easy one to start with. Specialty commercial is a narrow market — you aren’t looking for someone who wants a building, you’re looking for someone who wants that business, in that town, at that size. That’s a short list, and it takes finding rather than waiting.
Areas served
Every one of these towns has its own market, its own buyers, and its own quirks. Here’s the short version.
County seat, US 183 and US 281 frontage, and a steady mix of acreage and in-town homes. Strong pull from Austin buyers looking for room without Hill Country pricing.
Gateway to the Highland Lakes. Recreational land, weekend properties, and a growing full-time population.
Lake LBJ and Lake Marble Falls. Waterfront, view lots, and the most competitive market in the corridor.
Coryell County ag land and small-town homes at some of the best value per acre in the region.
Fort Cavazos-adjacent. VA-heavy, fast-moving, and tied closely to the rhythm of the post.

Let’s talk
Whether you’re six weeks out or six months out, the earlier we talk, the more options you have. Call, text, or send a note and I’ll get back to you.
