About this property
84 feet of Guadalupe River frontage, 1.041 acres of waterfront land, and a location less than one mile from Historic Gruene create a rare opportunity in one of the Texas Hill Country's most sought-after destinations. Multiple parcels are currently available, offering buyers the flexibility to secure riverfront property in a location where opportunities continue to become increasingly limited. This property offers direct access to the Guadalupe River along a peaceful stretch of waterfront surrounded by mature trees, abundant greenery, and beautiful Hill Country views. A large level building area provides an ideal setting for a custom home, vacation retreat, or long-term investment property, while the gentle terrain naturally transitions toward the river below. The property's natural beauty is one of its greatest assets. Mature shade trees create privacy and character throughout the homesite, while the riverside setting offers convenient access to kayaking, fishing, tubing, swimming, and other recreational activities that make this section of the Guadalupe so desirable. A water meter is already in place, providing a valuable head start for future development. The waterfront remains unimproved, allowing future owners the flexibility to create shoreline improvements, outdoor living spaces, and river access tailored to their own vision. Located just minutes from Gruene Hall, boutique shopping, restaurants, live music venues, river outfitters, and downtown New Braunfels, the property delivers a unique combination of privacy, recreation, and convenience. Easy access to IH-35 places both Austin and San Antonio within comfortable reach. Waterfront acreage this close to Historic Gruene is increasingly difficult to find. With approximately 84 feet of Guadalupe River frontage, mature trees, usable build space, and one of the area's most desirable locations, this property offers an exceptional opportunity to create something special along the Guadalupe River.

About the Area
1242 Ervendberg Ave #Lot 2 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 78130 zip code has a median household income of $84,426, a median home value of $296,300, and a median age of 35.9. The average household size is 2.55 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.
