About this property
Perched privately on an elevated 1.5-acre hilltop parcel, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom, 2,225-square-foot custom residence pairs classic Texas Hill Country craftsmanship with complete residential seclusion.

Inside, the open-concept great room features soaring vaulted ceilings, continuous ceramic tile flooring, a wall of picture windows framing tree-canopy views, and a cut-limestone fireplace with a natural cedar live-edge mantel. The adjacent kitchen is centered around a massive, curved limestone breakfast bar, highlighted by clerestory dormer windows that flood the space with natural light. The primary suite offers a private retreat complete with a crown-molded tray ceiling, wood-look flooring, private exterior French doors to the grounds, and walk-in his and hers closets with custom built-ins. The ensuite bath features split dual vanities, a deep jetted tub, and a threshold free oversized walk-in tile shower with a built-in bench seat. Two secondary bedrooms offer versatile options for guest suites or a dedicated home office, positioned alongside a full secondary bath with safety grab bars. The outdoor living spaces are designed for entertaining, featuring an expansive flagstone patio terrace covered by a rustic cedar pergola with cafe string lighting, a circular stone fire pit, tiered limestone terrace walls, an enclosed garden/pet run, and a wooden tree swing hanging beneath the oak canopy.

Location
About the Area
1761 Cottonwood Rd is located in Fischer, 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.
The 78623 zip code has a median household income of $122,143, a median home value of $564,200, and a median age of 59.7. The average household size is 2.65 people. The zip code has a total population of 1,575.
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.
