Property Details

OPEN HOUSE SAT. 12/9 11-3! THIS UNIQUE NEW BRAUNFELS PROPERTY OFFERS AN UNBELIEVABLY CONVENIENT LOCATION, GORGEOUS SINGLE-STORY, CUSTOM HOME ON ACREAGE WITH A HUGE FIRST CLASS WORKSHOP AND A VIEW! Pinch yourself to make sure this opportunity is real if you are hoping to live close to town with room for livestock and have NO HOA in a home so thoughtfully designed and outfitted to a tee. It is incredible how exquisitely the only owners have proudly maintained this property and its proximity offers the unique flexibility to make it a run-a-business-at-home close to town if that's what you need! Just about a half mile off I-35 at FM 1044, pull into the circular drive sheltered by beautiful mature live oak trees to a limestone Hill Country abode that beckons in to with a warm Texas welcome. Gasp in awe at the 15-foot tongue & groove cathedral beamed ceilings that usher you into the dramatic open floor plan accented by knotty alder interior doors, six-inch baseboards and stamped concrete floors. No detail has been overlooked here from the soaring fireplace that sets the mood to the centerpiece country kitchen that will make you the life of every party to the huge covered porch with outdoor kitchen to the expansive master suite! The rich 42-inch custom knotty alder cabinetry is the backdrop for the multitude of granite counter space. A 6' by 5' farmhouse island with breakfast bar adds room to work and a place for folks to pull up a chair to watch the magic happen! A hammered copper sink lends an extra touch of class and everyone wants that window over such a sink to watch the goings-on in the back acreage and the gorgeous view beyond. The dining space is well situated just of the kitchen for making entertaining easy. The split master suite at the rear of the home is nothing less than privately palatial with space for sitting area or workout nook, private view of back acreage, lovely natural light and knotty alder barn door to usher you into the adjoining bath. And, boy, what a ensuite bath it is with your every need addressed and more! Start with a garden tub with glass block window providing mood lighting, separate granite and alder vanities, with one taller than the other for distinction, water closet with window and pocket door, a five foot deep linen closet and tumbled travertine tile five-foot deep walk-in shower with both rain head and wall shower head! Two secondary bedrooms on the opposite side of the home are roomy with one, at 15x15, that could easily double as a second living or media room having been blocked for speakers. They share a classy guest bath with granite-topped alder vanity and tub shower combo with custom tile surround with waterfall glass tile accent. The laundry room (17x7) is to die-for with all this: window over sink and 8 foot long countertop, hanging rod, not one but two storage closets, room for a fridge and access door leading outside to the workshop. Before we go there, how about the huge, south facing, back porch, the ultimate in outdoor living with 16 foot tongue & groove wood cathedral ceilings, concrete floor stamped with the Texas star, outdoor kitchen with sink, space for grill and mini-fridge, 12 feet of granite counter, two fans and recessed lighting. All this with a sweeping view of the rising hills of gracious pastureland to the east. The pipe and wire fence will keep pets in and the rest of your acreage has ranch cross fencing for livestock or other projects. Now to the workshop where you can let this well-built 24x40 foot masterpiece be whatever you want it to be. A 12 foot roll up door with auto opener make it ideal for RV storage. The six 6-foot windows let in a ton of natural light, two other access doors and the 10x24 foot loft, electrical service with lots of room for more and spray foam insulation lend it to being a live/work space. All this in coveted NB ISD, less than 5 minutes to shopping and 7 minutes to both downtown New Braunfels and the charm of the River and historic Gruene.
