This 1.51-acre estate commands unparalleled Guadalupe River views, complete privacy, and an outdoor space designed for serious entertaining. The luxury pool isn't just for cooling off-it's an experience, featuring in-pool bar stools, a tanning shelf, and natural rock waterfalls. The pool cabana, fire pit, horseshoe pit, and expansive outdoor kitchen elevate this space, making it perfect for everything from relaxed afternoons to lively weekend gatherings. The covered patio is a standout with a wood-burning fireplace, stamped concrete floors, and an outdoor kitchen with all the essentials. Inside, every detail shines. Grand arched doorways, knotty alder cabinetry, and custom ceilings create a sophisticated feel. The kitchen features twin 8-foot granite islands, Thermador appliances, and a massive walk-in pantry. The living room boasts exposed beams, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and wall-to-wall views, all wired for sound. The owner's suite is a retreat with a fireplace, French doors to the veranda, and a spa-like en suite with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and an oversized walk-in shower. The 4 car garage is more than a space for cars-it's a multi-functional dream, with built-in storage and a bunk room outfitted with five twin beds, perfect for kids or grandkids. Located in a gated community with private river access, this property isn't just a home-it's a lifestyle. Welcome to your Guadalupe River masterpiece.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
