Wimberley, TX 78676 (Hays County)
About this property
SELLER FINANCING AVAILABLE. True Blanco River Frontage. Gated. Private. Ready Now. 831 Southriver Drive gives you something almost impossible to find in Wimberley: real river frontage, real privacy, and real seller financing, all inside one of the area's most exclusive gated communities. This is 1.53 heavily treed acres on the Blanco River. Not a view of the water. Not a walk to the water. Your backyard is the water. The home itself works as hard as the location. Built in 2006, it offers 2,986 square feet, five bedrooms, and three full baths. Downstairs gives you two bedrooms and two baths, with one bedroom easily converted into a study, office, or gym. Upstairs holds 2 more bedrooms sharing a third bath and a loft. Soaring ceilings and a bold custom Southwest fireplace make the main living space feel as impressive as the setting outside. Outside is where this property separates itself. A built in BBQ area sits under mature cypress trees, steps from the river, built for real entertaining, not staged photos. The oversized two car garage adds practical storage and workspace most river properties do not offer. Recent upgrades remove the guesswork. New standing seam metal roof in 2024. Fresh exterior paint in 2025. This home is move in ready today. Location seals the deal. You are minutes from downtown Wimberley, close to Cypress Creek Church, and walking distance to City Hall, H E B, restaurants, the library, and shopping. San Marcos is 15 miles out. Southriver is a small, tightly held gated community on the south bank of the Blanco, and homes at this price, do not come up often. Genuine river frontage. Gated privacy. Seller financing on the table. This combination does not exist elsewhere in Wimberley right now. See it before someone else does.
