About this home
Nestled along the Guadalupe River, the River Retreat at Spring Branch is a rare Hill Country sanctuary with two acres of unspoiled beauty and 200 feet of direct river frontage. This is more than a home; it's a property designed for connection, celebration, and quiet river life.
Lovingly held by one family for years, the property features two homes and has been a backdrop for countless gatherings and riverside memories. Now it's ready for a new chapter. Recently appraised at $2.2 million, it offers $500,000 in instant equity at its current list price of $1.7 million, with short term rental Airbnb potential.
The main residence, spanning 4706 square feet, unfolds across multiple levels that seem to float among the trees. Five bedrooms and three and a half baths provide generous space. Upstairs, the primary suite is joined by two additional bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath, while a series of decks and an enclosed patio create an atmosphere that feels secluded.
Downstairs, an expansive entertaining level includes a game area, a secondary catering kitchen, and a dumbwaiter that connects both kitchens effortlessly. Two additional bedrooms, a new hot tub, fire pit, pool and a three car garage complete this thoughtfully designed home.
Closer to the river, a second residence was built in 2018 and offers 1,314 square feet of relaxed modern comfort. With three bedrooms, two baths, and an additional pool bath beneath the home, it's ideal for guests or rental. Constructed on steel pylons driven approx. 20 feet into the ground for durability and peace of mind, the casita opens through French doors to a shaded patio overlooking the Guadalupe River.
The property was made for spending time outdoors, with a smooth sloping yard leading down towards the water. Store kayaks and floats underneath the casita, and use the covered space for gathering with family and friends. Whether you see it as a family getaway, a full-time residence, or an income opportunity, The River Retreat at Spring Branch offers a special slice of Hill Country river life.
