Experience the perfect blend of natural beauty, investment potential, and recreational opportunity at Guadalupe River Ranch. Located just 10 minutes from Main Street in Boerne, this exceptional property features dramatic topography, panoramic views, over half a mile of pristine Guadalupe River frontage, and excellent existing infrastructure, making it an unparalleled retreat in the heart of the Texas Hill Country. The ranch offers more than 4,000 feet of frontage along Highway 474 and is within 40 miles of San Antonio and 80 miles of Austin. With nine water wells and improved road systems throughout, the property is well-equipped for current use and future development. Whether you're seeking a private riverfront getaway, a development-ready property, or an investment opportunity with existing income streams, Guadalupe River Ranch offers limitless potential. The ranch's stunning terrain is highlighted by a dramatic bluff overlooking the cypress-lined Guadalupe River Valley, offering awe-inspiring views of the river below. With over half a mile of easily accessible river frontage, the property is truly one-of-a-kind. Enjoy rapids, deep pools, and long stretches of tranquil river, perfect for kayaking, tubing, fishing, and swimming. The bluff and river valley below serve as the heart of the property's charm, offering unmatched vistas and providing a focal point for future development or private enjoyment. Another unique feature of the ranch is the numerous one of a kind caves throughout the property. The property features a range of structures, including eight homes, condos, and cabins, many of which are ready for renovation. These homes are a mix of short-term and long-term rental properties. The infrastructure from a former resort has been cleaned up to its solid framework and is ready for redevelopment. The property includes three multi-unit condos totaling 14 units, all with porches overlooking the river, seven freestanding cabins, a spacious 5,000-square-foot administration building with a newly poured slab, and the stone remains of a "lodge" that was lost to a fire years ago. These existing structures provide a strong foundation for a resort-style retreat, short-term rental opportunities, or a private family compound. Two homes are currently operational as Airbnb properties, generating immediate income, while others are leased for residential purposes, with more ready for renovation. The owner has recently constructed a commercial-quality, two-lane road leading from the top of the bluff to the river valley below. The road was built by blasting into the hill, bringing in road base material, and installing concrete and metal culverts all the way down. This road is designed for convenient access, whether for personal use or potential commercial events, and is ready for paving if desired. The ranch also features a commercial-grade gun range with two large berms, approximately 30 feet tall and 250 feet wide, which have been used for law enforcement events and private use. The berms were constructed with high-quality materials and could be redeployed throughout the ranch or sold if the buyer doesn't need the range. In conclusion, Guadalupe River Ranch offers a rare combination of natural beauty, expansive infrastructure, and endless potential for development. With stunning riverfront views, dramatic terrain, and a variety of existing structures, this property is perfect for a private retreat, investment, or resort development.
