Perfectly positioned just beyond the edge of one of Texas’ fastest-growing destinations, this exceptionally scenic Guadalupe River property offers the increasingly rare combination of convenience, privacy, and true live-water frontage. Located along one of the most desirable stretches of River Road, the setting feels worlds away from the bustle of town while remaining only minutes from the restaurants, entertainment, and services of New Braunfels and Canyon Lake. With approximately 1.3 acres and 150 feet of highly usable Guadalupe River frontage, the property feels more like a private riverside retreat than a traditional parcel. The landscape is defined by towering cypress, pecan, and sycamore trees, natural rapids, and a calm swimming pool area ideal for recreation, relaxation, and gatherings. Existing improvements include an large metal building and a two-story structure featuring upper-level apartment potential and a spacious covered patio/bar area, creating opportunities for owner occupancy, guest accommodations, entertaining, or income-producing use. Utilities are already in place, including private water well, septic, and electric service, allowing for immediate enjoyment while providing flexibility for future enhancements. Situated outside city limits and within New Braunfels ISD, the property benefits from both privacy and accessibility. Natural terrain and protected river corridor surroundings help preserve the property’s views, character, and sense of seclusion for years to come. Ideal as a private family compound, luxury river retreat, boutique hospitality venture, or long-term investment along one of the Texas Hill Country’s most desirable river corridors. A setting of this caliber along River Road is increasingly scarce! Seller is a licensed Texas real estate agent. More videos on YouTube at Amberjoplinrealtor
