Description: Blanco River Retreat presents a rare opportunity to own a large personal tract in the highly sought after Wimberley area on the crystal-clear Blanco River. The property is centrally located less than an hour from both Austin and San Antonio, making it ideal for anyone looking for a weekend getaway or permanent residence with convenient access to urban amenities. The improvements sit on a bluff overlooking a lush pecan bottom and the river and were not affected during the flood of 2015. Another highlight of the property is that it is on a deep portion of the Blanco River that has remained constant through the harshest droughts.
Improvements: The main house is a 3,698± sf 5 bed, 3 bath very nice stucco house built in 1995 with a detached 2-car carport. A large stucco fireplace is the centerpiece of the open concept living area and kitchen area, along with an extraordinary dining room that is great for large family gatherings. The front porch boasts a great view from the bluff overlooking the river and pecan bottom. A 1,587± sf 3-bed, 2-bath stucco guest house built in 1993 sits a short walk from the main house and makes for a great spot for guests and entertainment. Several outbuildings, a deer proof garden, and a greenhouse also make up the improvements.
