Get the best of both worlds with privacy, space, and live water mere minutes from the conveniences of Boerne and San Antonio. Arroyo Vista Ranch invites you in through its pristinely landscaped gated entrance off Highway 46, but you quickly forget the sights and sounds of the city as you meander down the concrete paved road and take in the expansive views as you dip down into the creek valley below that hides the astounding improvements.
The Spanish Revival estate includes a 4,800+/-sf 2 bedroom, 3.5 bath main house, 3 guest casitas, a trophy room, rec room, movie theater, a swimming pool and patio and a lap pool, all of which evoke old world charm paired with modern amenities. The spectacular architectural elements and details combined with the gorgeous mature landscaping are simultaneously impressive yet warm and welcoming. The main house features charming details in the porte-cochere, solid wood monastery doors, intricate large scale parquet wood floors, wrought iron light fixtures, custom cabinetry, reclaimed hand-hewn wood beams and door headers, and ample natural light from clerestories, large picture windows and French doors. The den includes a built-in wet bar with a wine fridge and ice maker and ornate panel doors, and custom display cabinets. The kitchen provides elegant function with custom cabinetry and high-end fixtures and appliances. The Owner’s wing is a peaceful retreat with a gas log fireplace, access to two separate outdoor spaces, a study with a barrel-vaulted brick ceiling and mesquite parquet floors and a master bath perfectly suited with his and her amenities. Additional spaces include the mud room, dining room, queen guest bedroom, laundry room, wine room, pantry, 2 separate 4-car garages, mirrored exercise room, large, covered porch with a wood-burning fireplace, outdoor kitchen, and a pool bath with shower. The impressive 4,250 +/- sf Trophy Room, with its three separate entertaining areas and 1.5 baths, is reminiscent of an African game lodge with the thatch roof bar with rough-edge limestone countertops, surrounded by trophies and curated collectibles from all over the world beneath a latilla wood ceiling and specialty lighting. The 3 guest casitas each have a designated living space, a gas fireplace, wet bar and ensuite bathrooms. Additional improvements on the property include: 2 equipment barns, an indoor shooting range, stables, a rock spring house, a picnic area with barbacoa pit, a greenhouse, and a foreman’s quarters on top of the bluff which has its own entrance from Hwy.46.

Aside from the breathtaking improvements, the highlight of the ranch is the crystal-clear flowing Frederick Creek which meanders through the property for approximately 1 mile (both sides). About mid-way up the creek, a thriving spring pours out of the fern-laden rock spring house into the creek. To find such private year-round live water this close to Boerne is near impossible these days! Private water wells and storage tanks supply ample water to all of the improvements on the ranch.
The uniqueness of the topography and privacy this ranch offers cannot be overstated. While the ranch has 1,800+ft of road frontage along HWY 46, and is a mere minutes to I-10, the residence compound is sunken in a valley below a 100ft cliff face providing complete solitude and escape from any sense of urban living. The spectacular sycamore, cypress, and live oaks that line the creek and surround the compound add to the tranquility of this amazing showplace. The ranch has the ideal mix of improved pasture to wooded areas providing both grazing and hunting opportunities. The construction of the paved entry road down to the compound is a marvel in itself and provides quick and easy access to the residence. The perimeter of the property is high-fenced.
