Property Description
Love Texas History? Don't miss the opportunity to own this homestead built in 1878 on almost 5 acres in Spring Branch, TX. With 1676 sf, this two bedroom, one bath home is surrounded by majestic oak trees, bluebonnets, and beautiful gardens. This historical property and its rich heritage presents a unique opportunity to own a piece of Texas history. This home stands as a testament to the legacy and craftsmanship of Wilhelm Ernest von Specht, the pioneer who shaped its story. Originally built in 1878 by Wilhelm, this homestead resonates with over a century of memories and craftsmanship. A true master carpenter, Wilhelm's touch graces every corner of this dwelling, evident in the intricate details and sturdy construction that have withstood the test of time. The home features elements such as cedar log foundations, keystone joints, and mortise and tenon connections-each telling a tale of a bygone era. The property witnessed transformations over time, including a 1994 whole house remodel that honored its historical integrity while embracing modern comforts. Surrounded by remnants of the past, including the original barn and smokehouse, this property invites you to become part of its narrative. This property offers not just a residence, but an opportunity to own a piece of Texas history-one that beckons you to create your own chapter in its storied book. Set in the Rivermont subdivision, this property allows you access to the Guadalupe River via the POA's stunning river park. Conveniently located near US 281 and State Hwy 46, you are positioned perfectly between the towns of Boerne and New Braunfels. Minutes away from San Antonio, shopping and local eateries, this serene neighborhood is ideal. If you would like to build another home, the almost five acres is a blank canvas. This historic home would make an exceptional guest house or long term rental.
