Tucked inside the gated community of Riverforest and set on 2 wooded acres, this custom-built home offers privacy, space, and intentional design just minutes from Gruene Historic District and the best of New Braunfels. A grand living space welcomes you with soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, creating a warm yet striking focal point. With over 4,400 square feet, the home features two living areas, three bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, and a robust dedicated office with custom built-ins. Upstairs bedrooms each include their own private bathrooms, offering comfort and privacy for guests or family. The owner's suite is a true retreat, complete with a private sitting area, fireplace, outdoor access, and a light-filled bathroom featuring a soaking tub, walk-through shower, dual vanities, and generous closet space. The extended suite addition adds flexibility with its own fireplace, workspace, and secure safe room. The home is thoughtfully positioned around an expansive back patio and deck, designed to capture morning light while remaining shaded and enjoyable in the evenings. The wooded acreage has been left natural, with a landscaped walking path and tucked-away sitting areas that create a peaceful, private setting. Storage is abundant throughout, including oversized closets, attic access in multiple rooms, and an expansive storage area above the three-and-a-half-car garage. Originally built by the current owner after years of military service, this home was designed as a place to settle, unwind, and enjoy-offering a rare combination of space, comfort, and tranquility.
