Description

Tucked inside the gated section of Mission Hills Ranch in New Braunfels, this 3,700+ sqft home on 1.6 acres offers something increasingly rare in today's market-space, privacy, and major system upgrades already completed. Backing to a private ranch, the property delivers uninterrupted Hill Country views and a level of quiet seclusion that's difficult to replicate. What truly separates this home from others in its price range is over $200,000 invested in meaningful improvements. A metal roof (2020), multiple HVAC system upgrades (2019-2023), radiant barrier insulation, and whole-home air purification systems provide long-term reliability and peace of mind. Inside, the layout is both functional and spacious, featuring a grand entry staircase, private office (or 6th bedroom), formal dining room, and an expansive upstairs bonus area. The main-level primary suite offers privacy, while additional bedrooms upstairs provide flexibility for family, guests, or work-from-home needs. A striking interior balcony enhances the open-concept design with natural light and architectural character. Recent interior updates include refinished cabinetry, fresh paint, updated lighting and ceiling fans, smart thermostats, and a built-in wine fridge, creating a move-in-ready environment without the need for immediate upgrades. Outside, significant investments have been made to improve usability and function, including extensive yard regrading, added concrete walkways, decorative metal fencing, and a large metal storage building on slab-features not commonly found in comparable properties. An oversized side-entry garage offers flexibility for multiple vehicles, storage, or workspace. Location matters and this home stands above the rest. With quick access to Highway 46, IH-35, and US-281 working from New Braunfels, San Antonio, or Austin is no longer an issue. Come see this amazing home today!
