Summer Never Ends at This New Braunfels Retreat on the Guadalupe River
Share News:
Right before I left on my summer trip, I came across a home that simply blew me away. Set on 2.5 acres along the Guadalupe River, it had the kind of setup that makes a second home feel like a private oasis. We held the story while flooding affected the Hill Country and access to local rivers. But I knew this house wouldn’t last long, and indeed, it sold on Aug. 17. Fortunately, I got everything I need to show you before it disappeared from the market.
Located in the famous Texas Hill Country, New Braunfels is known for tubing down the Guadalupe River, the Gruene Historic District, and some of the best German food you will find this side of the Mississippi. But New Braunfels isn’t just a vacation town anymore. It’s become a very fast-growing place to live, with a population that has jumped more than 35% since 2020.
While that growth has brought more restaurants, businesses, and year-round amenities, the river will always be THE place. This New Braunfels home comes with your very own private access to the Guadalupe River so you can tube or kayak down the river to your heart’s content.
The beauty of this property is not just found on the outside. The interior of the home is classic.
The greatest aspect of this home is the open floor plan that gives you a tremendous amount of entertaining options. Whether you want to take a weekend away just for your family or if you want to bring an army of friends and family, you have space to bring in a table and seating that will fit your needs.
The kitchen is a wonderful centerpiece to the home. From there, you can enjoy your guests as well as the beautifully landscaped grounds. The natural light that pours in makes the living, dining, and cooking areas come alive.
The living room allows you to cozy up to the fireplace for a romantic evening or simply relax with friends after a day of tubing down the Guadalupe.
The most incredible part of this home, however, is the spectacular screened-in, cathedral-style patio that overlooks the custom swimming pool and the peaceful river beyond. If you are not ready for summer to end, then this is the getaway you did not know you needed.
The true majesty, however, awaits you outside.
Towering century-old oak trees and mature pecan trees provide shade, beauty, and a truly park-like setting. The beautifully landscaped grounds feature multiple decks, flagstone patios, and inviting seating areas that extend to the water’s edge-perfect for entertaining or simply taking in stunning Texas sunsets.
