MINUTES TO DOWNTOWN FREDERICKSBURG, LOCATED IN THE ETJ, NO RESTRICTIONS, INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY on 12.09 ACRES. Discover an exceptional opportunity to own a striking modern homestead, infused with Hill Country style, set on 12.09 acres just a few minutes from historic downtown Fredericksburg. With its distinctive architectural features, resort-style amenities, multiple guest accommodations, and close proximity to Fredericksburg, the property also presents exceptional potential as a high-performing short-term rental or private retreat for guests seeking a unique Hill Country experience. Approaching the property, magnificent views to the north unfurl before one meanders down into this private, serene vale. Located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the residence is surrounded by native stone, mature trees, and signature natural landscaping completing this veritable haven. The home's inviting, bold, symmetrical design features a classic wraparound veranda crowned with a unique third-level observatory. A spiral staircase leads down from the observatory to a custom wine cellar - an unexpected delight, perfect for intimate wine tastings. The main level is arranged in four quadrants connected by wide hallways featuring natural wood floors and expansive, light-filled living spaces. Nearly floor-to-ceiling windows create an indoor/outdoor feel and frame the gorgeous views of the surrounding acreage. The home offers four bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms providing generous and comfortable accommodation for family and guests. The primary bedroom is on the main level along with another bedroom fitted with 'in-built' bunks for four people, separated into two self-contained rooms, a Hollywood bathroom and an adjoining rec room. There is a dedicated laundry room on the main level and a half bathroom for guests. The second level has two spacious bedrooms with a shared bathroom, expansive closet space and attic storage. The observatory offers spectacular panoramic views and currently functions as a home office. A signature feature is the resort-style pool and spa, perfectly oriented to embrace the vistas. An adjoining al fresco dining area - complete with a gas barbecue, food prep counter, outdoor bathroom, and spacious storage room with a refrigerator - sets the stage for sun-soaked afternoons and starlit dinners. A detached guest house has long or short term rental potential, providing immediate income or flexible accommodation for visitors. The 12.09 perimeter fenced acres offer room to transform the property into a working ranchette and incorporate the seasonal creek on the northwest corner into the operations. Benefiting from an agricultural exemption, this estate enjoys reduced property taxes - an added advantage in Fredericksburg's highly coveted market. 834 Northwood Hills is more than a home; it's a rare fusion of aesthetic allure, nature, spacious living and privacy. A personal retreat. An architectural statement. A significant lifestyle investment opportunity.
