5.3 Acres on the Clear, Cool, Medina River. A 3 Bed, 2 Bath, 2,120 sqf. home with amazing long views! Enjoy this striking stretch of the Medina River from this 5.3-acre estate, across the river from the Bandera City Park, behind the city park dam. This portion of the river runs 10'-12' feet deep, and this part of the river historically retains water, even in times of drought. Nestled near the river among the cypress trees, a large metal pavilion offers a welcoming place to gather. It features a concrete pad, substantial wooden tables bolted down to survive the weather, concrete fireplace/cooking oven, water spigots, and electricity. It's an incredible spot to swim, kayak, paddle boat, share meals and make memories with family and friends. Need more river time? There is a steel RV cover and a deck, just waiting for your choice of RV. The road to the river is a combination asphalt and concrete road, built to defy weather and erosion. No 4x4 needed, regular cars and trucks can go up and down without issue. Views? The hilltop views from this home are some of the best you could ask for. From the back deck you will recognize St. Stanislaus Catholic Church, Boys & Girls Club, Bandera Court House, Bandera Baptist Church, Western Antique Mall, Bandera Middle School and Highschool, etc. This home was built by the current owners in 2022 as a family getaway. Now its your turn to come be present and make memories with your loved ones. Most of the top end of the acreage is surrounded with cedar ranch fencing made to hold the two resident miniature longhorns. The entire drive is asphalt, which terminates at the concrete drive and parking area. The parking cover is large enough to hold 2 full size trucks. There are also 3 storage and workshop buildings for your overflow. The home is on slab with a large wide open area, with soaring ceilings that accommodate the kitchen, island bar, sitting and dining areas and couches and chairs for visiting and TV. Up top is the birds nest loft overlooking the living area and the great views via numerous windows. The master bedroom is oversized with a large bathroom and walk-in shower. The 2 guest rooms are split to the opposite side of the home, with a bathroom between the two. All wood looking tile throughout, no carpet. Make time to visit this riverfront home/retreat and imagine the possibilities. Life's short, buy the river home.
