Practical infrastructure is already in place with an on-site water well and septic system. With expansive acreage suitable for a future homesite, business use, or investment development, the setting invites you to shape a property that can evolve with your needs over time.

From its hilltop Hill Country setting in Lake Ridge at Canyon Lake, this custom Jarik Builders residence (completed January 2025) pairs modern architecture with meticulous, practical detailing. Set on a level 1.054-acre homesite beneath mature live oaks, the rare layout places two private ensuite bedrooms on the main level, including a vaulted primary suite with separate vanities, a freestanding soaking tub, a curb less walk-in shower with dual shower heads, and an oversized walk-in closet. At the center, an open living area with a linear fireplace and floating white oak shelving flows into a chef’s kitchen with ceiling-height custom cabinetry, granite countertops, an oversized island, hidden walk-in pantry, GE Profile gas cooktop, double wall ovens, and workstation sink. Upstairs, a game room with wet bar opens to a covered balcony with fireplace and views toward Canyon Lake—echoed by two covered outdoor entertaining spaces designed for year-round use.

From its elevated Hill Country setting in Kingsland, 330 Juniper Trail pairs open-air privacy with the ease of being just minutes from town. Set on 10.91 acres, the property frames beautiful Hill Country views and wide-open spaces that invite slow mornings and unhurried evenings. Inside, the home offers three bedrooms and two and a half baths—comfortable for daily living, yet equally suited to a weekend retreat. Outdoors, practical ranch-ready touches include a barn and chicken coops, while a hot tub adds a simple ritual for winding down after a day spent outside. With room to relax and unwind and the convenience of nearby shopping and dining, life here feels grounded in land, light, and the quiet rhythm of the Texas Hill Country.

Set on nearly 3 wooded acres in New Braunfels’ Hill Country, this single-story retreat offers true privacy without losing touch with everyday conveniences. The home backs to a deep natural ravine you own clear to the other side, creating a lasting buffer with no direct sightlines into neighboring yards or windows—quiet, functional, and off-grid in feel, yet just 15 minutes from I-35, H-E-B, and Starbucks. Inside, a carpet-free layout prioritizes ease, anchored by a native wood-burning fireplace, a dedicated office, and modern matte black fixtures throughout. Infrastructure is equally thoughtful, with an independent private well and septic system, a water softener, and reverse osmosis filtration under the kitchen sink. Outdoors, a custom iron and thick hogwire fence encloses about an acre with multiple gates, alongside a heated pool and spa combo and a programmable sprinkler system. Days here unfold with space, calm, and capability.
