About this property
There's a moment on the drive in when the trees open up and you catch your first glimpse of this place, a three-story lookout home rising above the oak canopy, wrapped in decks on every level. Eight private acres, direct frontage on the Blanco River, and a house designed to watch the river from every room. Inside, the great room centers on a linear fireplace beneath tall ceilings, with walls of glass that slide open to a screened porch and grill deck. The kitchen has warm shaker cabinetry, soapstone-look counters, and a gray subway tile backsplash, opening right up to a breakfast nook looking out over the yard. Climb up to the third-floor lookout and you're above the treeline, watching sunsets over the Hill Country. Walk down the stone steps cut into the bluff and you're at your own stretch of the Blanco, deep enough to swim, calm enough to fish, and shaded by mature live oak, cypress, and cedar elm. It's screened from the neighbors on nearly every side, so it feels like it's just yours. A detached 2-bedroom guest house with its own kitchen, living space, and gym sits nearby, along with a fire-pit clearing for evenings outside. This place is wired, too. The whole property runs on a Ubiquiti network, including a Dream Machine Pro, indoor and outdoor access points, and a wireless bridge connecting the main house and guest house, so you've got strong Wi-Fi all the way down to the river. The same system runs security, with four high-res cameras that record locally, so footage keeps rolling even if the internet blinks. It's all less than a year old. Forty minutes from Austin and San Marcos, but a world away. Wimberley is built around spring-fed swimming holes and live music, with the Blanco River and Cypress Creek at its center. A rare find: private river frontage, a home built to showcase it, and the right tech to make it easy to live there. Home did NOT flood in 2015.
