246 Blanco Dr

Property description

This extraordinary Wimberley riverfront property offers the peaceful Blanco River lifestyle you’ve been waiting for. Wonderfully situated in the Paradise Valley neighborhood, this 3-bedrm, 3-bath home is only a few steps down a gentle slope to the shade of huge cypress trees alongside the pristine waters of the Blanco River, and one of the best private swimming holes in Texas. With its roomy ensuite, the main floor primary bedrm features river views and makes everyday living with family and friends easy and comfortable. The open-concept living and dining areas also take full advantage of the setting, with inspiring park and river views through the wall of windows that span the back of the home. The bonus room just off the main entrance was designed as an office, but it could also be used as a 4th bedroom. The kitchen includes modern amenities and river-park views from the back and side windows. Upstairs, two bedrooms and a full bath provide flexible space for guests, including a bunkroom well suited for holiday visits. The covered back porch is the soul of this property. At 10 feet deep and spanning the width of the home, it offers room for multiple seating areas, including a brunch spot where you can watch the sun rise over the valley as birds and wildlife come to life along the river below. The front yard boasts a beautiful courtyard with a quiet sitting area that is perfectly suited for watching spectacular sunsets and Wimberley’s Dark Sky stargazing. In the evening, gather with family and friends around the stone firepit at the back edge of the property. As one of the largest river-adjacent lots in the neighborhood at .502 acres, the property offers generous outdoor space, while ownership in Paradise Valley provides exclusive access to more than 16 ac of parkland and hundreds of feet of riverbank. All of this is just 4 min from the Wimberley Square, one of the most charming old-town centers in the state, and yet only about a 45-min drive to downtown Austin.
