About this property
Wake up to the Texas Hill Country right outside your window. Set on over an acre in River Chase, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home with a dedicated office was designed to embrace its elevated natural setting. Hill Country views can be enjoyed from the kitchen, living room, office and every bedroom-where mornings may begin with deer wandering just outside your window. Inside, the open-concept living space combines clean modern finishes with warm Hill Country character. A vaulted ceiling with exposed wood beam adds architectural interest, while a statement fireplace anchors the living room and a wall of windows keeps the surrounding landscape front and center. The kitchen features an oversized island, generous cabinetry and counter space, gas cooking, statement lighting and an open layout ideal for gathering. The dedicated office provides a quiet workspace with its own view, while all four bedrooms continue the home's connection to the outdoors. The primary suite includes a spacious bath with dual vanities, soaking tub and separate shower. Step outside to the covered elevated patio and take in the scenery. Beyond it, the natural backyard presents a rare opportunity: rather than inheriting someone else's outdoor design, the next owner has a blank canvas to create a space that fits their vision-whether that includes a deck, pool, outdoor entertaining area or preserving the native Hill Country landscape, subject to applicable approvals. River Chase offers exceptional neighborhood amenities, including a private 58-acre Guadalupe River park, swimming pools, clubhouse, fitness building, sport courts, fishing pond, trails and additional recreation areas. This isn't simply a home with a Hill Country address. It's a home where the Hill Country is part of the view from nearly every room.

About the Area
173 Northridge is located in New Braunfels, Texas, in Comal County. Comal County is one of the fastest-growing counties in the United States, anchored by New Braunfels, a city founded by German Prince Carl of Solms-Braunfels in 1845 whose heritage lives on in Wurstfest, historic Gruene, and the Comal and Guadalupe Rivers that draw millions of tubers and kayakers each summer.
The Comal River, the shortest river in Texas at just 2.5 miles, flows entirely within New Braunfels before joining the Guadalupe River. The Guadalupe River canyon through Canyon Lake creates dramatic limestone bluffs and one of the most scenic waterways in Central Texas. Canyon Lake reservoir sits in the northern part of the county.
New Braunfels had an estimated population of 98,700 as of 2023. The 78132 zip code has a median household income of $126,934, a median home value of $570,900, and a median age of 42.5. The average household size is 2.79 people.
San Antonio and Austin metro growth has made Comal County a premier destination for suburban buyers seeking Hill Country character with urban access. Tourism centered on the rivers, Schlitterbahn waterpark, and historic Gruene Hall, the oldest continually operating dance hall in Texas, generates significant hospitality revenue alongside a booming residential real estate market.
