About this property
Rare 1.54 +/- Acre Riverfront & 2BR / 1.5 Baths Cabin Retreat. Located on 1.54 acre +/- of Blanco riverfront, this cozy retreat is a birder’s and wildlife-lover’s paradise. Perched on a bluff overlooking the river and well above the flood zone, the cabin boasts spectacular sunset views and star-gazing from its breezy deck and porch. Stairs lead down to the cooling waters below for kayaking, fishing, and taking a dip. Historically, this spring-fed section of the Blanco has run, even during dry spells. This veritable aerie is the perfect birdwatching spot, where the owners have seen countless species, from bald eagles and hawks to numerous warblers, hummingbirds, and waterbirds. Among the abundant wildlife, bobcats, foxes, and river otters have been spotted. The cabin’s wood interior has pine and engineered hardwood floors and an 18' interior peak with large windows. Other unique features include a ship light in the living room and a fireplace faced with fossil stones repurposed from an old Texas homestead. On the main level is a full bath that includes a vintage cast iron tub and an extra-large bedroom with a vintage Norwegian ‘Jotul’ wood-burning stove. The large eat-in kitchen has custom-built cabinets. The house is all-electric. A spiral staircase leads to a spacious loft bedroom. This retreat, lovingly built and maintained by its original owners over decades, is awaiting its next stewards of nature.
