**MUST-SEE VIDEO TOUR!** Experience the privacy and beauty of the Texas Hill Country at 1494 County Road 270, a breathtaking 25.53-acre hilltop estate overlooking Medina Lake. Tucked behind a private motorized gate, a scenic chip-sealed driveway winds approximately one-third of a mile through the property before arriving at the home's commanding hilltop setting, where panoramic lake and Hill Country views create an unforgettable first impression. This distinctive Tudor-style residence offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and an open-concept floor plan with vaulted ceilings, a gas fireplace, updated flooring, and walls of windows designed to capture the surrounding scenery. The kitchen features an upgraded gas range, abundant cabinetry, and a light-filled breakfast nook with bay windows. Additional bay windows in the formal dining room and upstairs primary suite frame spectacular views from nearly every angle. The split-level layout provides two guest bedrooms and a full bathroom with skylight, while the private upstairs primary suite features a remodeled en suite bathroom, walk-in closet, and its own balcony overlooking Medina Lake. It is the perfect place to enjoy sunrise with a cup of coffee. Outdoor living is equally impressive with a spacious half-wraparound deck overlooking the lake, offering exceptional space for entertaining or simply enjoying the peace and quiet that only a property of this caliber can provide. A separate guest suite beneath the home, with its own private entrance and full bathroom, offers excellent potential for guests, a studio, home office, or short-term rental. This space is not included in the home's square footage or bedroom/bathroom count. Thoughtful updates include a motorized gated entrance, chip-sealed driveway, newer roofs on the home and pump house, updated HVAC system and water heater, upgraded electrical panel, improved insulation, remodeled primary bathroom, and all new Window World windows and exterior doors. The property also includes a private water well with water purification system and softener housed in the pump house, a traditional storage shed, a charming workshop converted from a former chapel, and two livestock shelters. Located just 17 miles west of Loop 1604 via Culebra Road, this remarkable estate offers a rare combination of privacy, breathtaking views, and unrestricted Hill Country living with no HOA or deed restrictions. The sellers also own the adjacent 20.556-acre parcel, Lot 17A, immediately west of the property for sale. The sellers may be open to selling both of the lots together. Schedule your private showing today and experience this one-of-a-kind Medina Lake retreat for yourself.
