1185 Gruene Road, New Braunfels, TX 78130 (MLS # 621886)
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own one of Gruene's most extraordinary riverfront estates. Nestled on 1.32 acres overlooking the Guadalupe River, this exceptional property combines luxury living, proven vacation rental income, and resort-style amenities. Featuring a spectacular 4,546-square-foot custom residence plus five luxury vacation rentals, this is the ultimate private retreat, investment property, or multigenerational estate.
Designed with timeless Hill Country elegance, the main home offers 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and 2 half baths. Soaring 19-foot ceilings, exposed wood beams, and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling double-sided stone fireplace, while expansive sliding glass doors frame breathtaking bluff and river views. The gourmet kitchen is a showpiece with Wolf and Thermador appliances, a stunning 10' x 6' Brazilian quartzite island, butler's pantry, and an entertainer's wet bar opening seamlessly to the outdoor living area. The luxurious primary suite is a true retreat, complete with a see-through fireplace and a beautifully renovated spa bath featuring a wet room with soaking tub, dual showers, rain shower, and heated tile floors. Upstairs, two spacious ensuite bedrooms accompany a versatile 20' x 20' flexible bonus room. Outside, enjoy an infinity-edge pool overlooking the river, outdoor kitchen, covered entertaining spaces, lush landscaping, and artificial turf. The riverfront experience features the area's only private walk-in pebble beach, firepit gathering spaces, kayak and paddleboard storage, and a golf cart path leading directly to the water. The five beautifully appointed vacation rentals provide exceptional guest accommodations with private patio, firepit, and BBQ grill. Additional amenities include a gated entrance, extensive parking, security system, live river camera, housekeeping facility, water softener, three-car garage with workshop, and 50-amp EV charger. Just moments from historic Gruene Hall, this estate simply cannot be replicated.
