UNIQUE FULLY RENOVATED FOUR-BEDROOM RIVER OAKS HOME
Coming June 7th!

Other properties in River Oaks have been sold as-is without updates, and usually go private party. This is a rare opportunity for a move-in ready, peaceful retreat, high above the treetops of the Guadalupe Valley.

Completely remodeled, thoughtful design, outdoor living

Rare opportunity to own a four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath 3,200+ square foot hillside retreat in the established River Oaks neighborhood outside of New Braunfels, Texas. Approximately 5-1/4 acres, situated on a quiet cul-de-sac, teeming with wildlife and the peaceful sounds of nature, this unique find has an amazing northwest-facing canyon view with stunning sunsets off the multi-level decks.

Approximately 1,600 square feet of deck gives plenty of space for outdoor living.

The River Oaks Subdivision

River Oaks provides the best of peaceful country living combined with a close proximity to great schools, entertainment, water sports, and hospitals. With a short drive to either San Antonio or Austin, it’s central to either metropolitan area and the Texas Hill Country. The historic German town of Gruene—home to Gruene Hall, live music, local wineries, and shopping—was recently named a “most charming small town” by the Travel Channel. Some of the best trout fishing in the state is found in the rushing waters of the Guadalupe River below, and Canyon Lake is also nearby and available for power boats, personal watercraft, and sailing.

There is an HOA with reasonable restrictions, and a low monthly fee of only $10.

The Residence

In 2018 major renovations were undertaken to completely update and improve the flow and add a new creative space that increased the square footage. A once-hidden office is now open to the main living area, and above the garage there is now an air-conditioned bonus room, ready to become your inspiring art studio, workout room, or second office with an “observation deck” and the best view in the home.

Some of the features:
