    Beautiful Hill Country Home in Gated Mission Hills Ranch - This stunning 3,208 sq ft home is nestled on a private, landscaped one-acre lot in a quiet cul-de-sac within the gated Enclave of Mission Hills Ranch—offering space, privacy, and convenience inside the city limits of New Braunfels. Step inside to an open-concept floor plan ideal for both entertaining and everyday living. Elegant tray ceilings accent the formal dining room, family room, and primary suite, while crown molding adds a touch of sophistication throughout. True hardwood and tile flooring flow seamlessly across the home. The gourmet kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a newly replaced cooktop (2025), and dishwasher (2020), making it both stylish and functional. The split-bedroom layout ensures privacy, with a spacious primary suite that includes built-in drawers and shelving in the large walk-in closet. The oversized 3-car garage offers approximately 775 sq ft of space and is finished with durable, slip-resistant epoxy flooring—perfect for storage, hobbies, or extra workspace. Perched on a hill, the home enjoys scenic Hill Country views from the front yard and the elevated second-level backyard patio. The upper rear portion of the property remains in its natural state, with mature oak and cedar trees providing beauty and natural privacy. Major recent upgrades include a new 50yr multi-dimensional shingle roof, gutters and exterior paint (July 2021) and a high-efficiency Trane 18 SEER variable-speed heat pump (Oct 2024) with approximately 10 years of remaining warranty. Energy efficiency is further improved with 20 inches of blown-in attic insulation with radiant barrier installed on the roof deck. The automatic sprinkler system was fully updated in January 2025 with a new control box and sprinkler heads throughout. Covered patio enclosed with AC in 2018. Combining luxury and comfort with hill country charm and appeal make this home special.
