$865,000
Authentic Texas home with live water on 7.14 acres, in the Bandera Hill Country, ideally located halfway between Bandera and Kerrville. This move-in-ready 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home blends country living with practical amenities, breathtaking views, and exceptional functionality. There are 2 bee hives on the property. 2026 is year five of the program making the AG EXEMPT status effective on January 1, 2027. Mason Creek borders the back of the property, where the land gently slopes toward the water and opens to spectacular long distance views. Majestic century oaks grace the property, with moss carefully removed from the trees halfway down the slope toward the creek. The perimeter is fully fenced, while the area surrounding the home is high-fenced, allowing gardens and landscaping to flourish without interference from deer. Horses are allowed and there is no HOA. Features of the home include warm knotty-pine tongue-and-groove paneling and accents, abundant natural light, stained concrete floors downstairs, and beautiful hardwood floors upstairs. A double-sided, floor-to-ceiling wood-burning fireplace serves both the living and dining areas while the blue-and-white peninsula kitchen enhances country charm. The kitchen includes a dining area, two large pantries, extensive built-in cabinetry and shelving, and even a charming old-fashioned ironing-board nook. The home's split-primary layout offers one primary bedroom upstairs and another downstairs. The upstairs primary suite includes an adjoining bonus room perfect for crafts, sewing, homeschooling, a media room, or an additional bedroom. Downstairs primary has an ensuite bath, storage, stall shower and bathtub, and a window seat. 2 HVAC Heat Pump systems provide zonced comfort up and down. Enjoy the outdoors from the screened sitting porch and adjoining deck, complete with distinctive wagon-wheel accents that lead to an oversized attached two-car garage. This property is exceptionally well equipped and has been vigorously maintained. A 20,000-gallon water storage tank currently supplies the home and yard, complemented by a private water well with a convenient valve in the pump house that allows for an easy change between rainwater catchment and well water. Solar panels are paid in full, connected through Bandera Electric, and send power back to the grid for bill credits-helping maintain low electric bills. A whole-house generator provides peace of mind during power outages while the durable sheet-metal roof is built for the long haul. Additional improvements include a workshop currently used as a music room, complete with portable A/C, dehumidifier, and spray-foam insulation. All outbuildings are foam insulated. There is a chicken coop and an additional animal enclosure built onto the well pump houses, along with birdhouses throughout the property. From the creekside views and century oaks to the wood-burning fireplaces, solar power, water independence, and comfortable interior, this exceptional property offers a rare opportunity to embrace luxury country living with authentic Texas Hill Country character. A peaceful retreat, working acreage, and a welcoming home in one remarkable setting. About an hour to San Antonio International Airport. 15 minutes to Bandera or Kerrville. Come on out and see for yourself. (Drawn boundaries are approximate)
