Welcome to this serene Hill Country ranch-style home, nestled on a peaceful 5.33-acre estate in New Braunfels, and with no HOA. Recent Roof and HVAC replacements and interior paint. Thoughtfully positioned at the center of the lot, this single-story, 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers 2,087 square feet of bright, open living space surrounded by nature - the perfect blend of comfort, privacy, and rural charm. Step inside and you'll immediately notice the abundance of natural light pouring through panoramic double-pane windows in every room - offering stunning 360 views of the property. The spacious living room is warm and welcoming, with a vaulted ceiling, engineered hardwood floors and a striking stone fireplace that anchors the space. The island kitchen includes Vicostone Quartz counters, eat-in dining area, and views of the backyard, while the primary suite is a private retreat - featuring patio access, vaulted ceilings, a walk-in closet, and an ensuite bath with dual vanity areas and a recently updated walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms, a walk-in pantry, laundry room, and storage area complete the layout, all with abundant windows and views of the outdoors. Both AC units replaced (Oct 25 & Mar 26). Outside, enjoy the wraparound front porch and covered back patio, or take a moment to relax on the secluded stone sitting area, tucked under a massive oak tree - a beautiful place to gather and relax with family and friends. The one-acre homestead includes both the 1/2-acre (.2 mile) chip-sealed driveway and the 1/2-acre fenced home site, which is beautifully landscaped with native plants and mature trees. The remaining 4.33 acres consist of open pasture currently leased to a neighboring rancher for grazing their longhorn cattle and mules - allowing you to maintain the agricultural exemption on that portion of the land and benefit from reduced property taxes. Nature lovers will appreciate frequent visits from deer, foxes, wild turkeys, rabbits, roadrunners, and even peacocks. In spring, the landscape comes alive with wildflowers, and sunsets here are nothing short of magical. Additional exterior features include: detached 2-car carport with large storage rooms on either side, workshop shed with electricity, expanded garden shed & well house, LED lighting, new attic storage above carport, private well and septic system, and chip-and-seal driveway (approx. 0.2 mi) with dual electronic gates for added privacy and convenience. While this home feels like a true countryside escape, you're just minutes away from retail, restaurants, grocery stores, medical facilities, and entertainment. It's the best of both worlds - peaceful and secluded, yet close to everything you need.
