Tucked away among towering shade trees and the soothing sounds of flowing water, this one-of-a-kind property isn’t just a home—it’s a retreat. Set on a spacious 0.716-acre lot with around 81ft of Blanco River frontage, nature takes center stage, offering a rare opportunity to own a peaceful escape with direct Blanco river access. A charming cabin sits in the landscape, blending seamlessly with its surroundings. Step inside, and you’re welcomed by a warm, open living space where large windows flood the room with natural light and frame stunning views of the outdoors. The rich real wood floor adds to the cozy ambiance, making the space feel both inviting and timeless. From the living room, take in the peaceful scenery of towering trees and the river beyond—a view that changes beautifully with the seasons. Glass and screen doors lead out to a spacious deck, the perfect place to sip your morning coffee as the sun rises or relax in the evening with the gentle sounds of the water below. The kitchen is both simple and functional, featuring rustic wooden shelves that add warmth and character. Two spacious bedrooms offer quiet, cozy retreats, with a shared closet space. The bathroom has with shower/tub combo. But the real magic of this property is found beyond the cabin. A gentle path winds down to the river, where you can dip your toes in the cool water, launch a kayak for a peaceful paddle, or simply sit and soak in the beauty around you. Tall trees provide refreshing shade on warm afternoons, creating a secluded, serene atmosphere that’s hard to find. Surrounded by nature, this property is more than just a home—it’s a place to slow down, breathe, and truly enjoy the simple things in life. If you’ve been dreaming of a quiet riverside sanctuary, this is where your journey begins. Property comes with private gated access to the Blanco River Rapids neighborhood park with a great river swimming spot! Short Term Rentals are Not Allowed.
