When you think of Canyon Lake Texas real estate, especially Canyon Lake waterfront homes for sale, this beautifully and meticulously remodeled home is the epitome of what comes to mind. This beautiful and extremely functional home is located on the southside of Canyon Lake, TX and offers easy and quick access to the San Antonio riverwalk, downtown and San Antonio airport, only a 45 minute drive during peak traffic hours. Live entertainment is only a 15 minute drive away in historic Gruene, TX at the renowned Gruene Hall where many of the great names in progressive country music such as Willie Nelson and Ray Wiley Hubbard got their starts and still perform to this day. The famous San Marcos outlet malls are only a 30 minute drive, and Austin TX is just over a 1 hour drive away.

Nestled in the heart of Texas Hill Country real estate, Canyon Lake is fed by the clean, clear waters of the Guadalupe River and is managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The lower Guadalupe River, between the Canyon Lake Dam and New Braunfels, TX is known throughout the country for it's picturesque and exciting 15 mile tubing, rafting and kayaking rides. Ask just about anyone who grew up in Texas and they will have fond memories of tubing the Guadalupe River in their youth. This website provides much more information about Canyon Lake, the Texas Hill Country, the Guadalupe River, and everything they have to offer.

This 4 bedroom 4 bath home with an oversized attached 2 car garage was strategically placed on what is arguably one of the best waterfront lots on all of Canyon Lake for breath taking, up-close waterviews, distant hill country vistas, and a relatively easy walk to and from the waterfront. Canyon Lake was created by building a dam on the Guadalupe River. Thousand of years of erosion from the river created deep canyons and the natural peaks of the Texas Hill Country combine for incredible views. Typically there is a compromise though. To get that breathtaking up-close waterview it nearly always means there will be a steep elevation drop from the homesite down to the waterfront. The street this home is located on, Colleen Dr., is known for that, but the lot this home sits on has a natural, more gradual slope to the waterfront. Combining that with the beautifully done backyard terracing with 3 levels of grass and stone and the natural stone steps that were slightly traversed, the walk to and from the water is probably the least difficult on this Colleen Dr./Janet Dr. waterfront. Yet it still offers the close, breathtaking waterview. This lot is also one of the only lots on this waterfront that has an actual beach when the water is at the normal lake level of 909' above sea level. This lot would easily sell for $295,000 even in today's market. And with the deep waterfront and stone steps that go right into the water, boats and jet skis can easily be pulled up to the waterfront landing, tied off for days at a time and then just walk up to the home!

The interior of the home was remodeled in the late 1990's. A rich cedar was used for nearly all of the walls and ceilings that has a similar look to knotted pine. The ceilings and sidewalls were also redone to create an intriguing series of peaks, that give the home a very unique and open feel. There are 15 skylights, track lighting and recessed lighting through out the entire home to accent the unique interior architecture. Even the most skeptical buyer would admit that when you see the outside and inside of this home it looks and feels less than 10 years old.

The most unique feature of this home is that it has a complete, fully functional, approximately 325 sq ft efficiency apartment right inside the home, with it's own entrance/exit door! This apt has a dining area, a complete kitchen, a full bathroom, a closet and a little living area with a futon for sleeping or relaxing and watching television. So you buyers with the in-law or teenager that you love dearly but don't really want to get real up-close and personal with on your stress relieving trips to the lakehouse, this is your answer!!

This site has many pictures of the exterior of the home and the grounds and many pictures of the interior. If you click on the features tab at the top of the home page, you will see a list of features that will tell you everything about the home. There is also a tab for room sizes and highlights.

This is an extremely unique home, it won't be for everybody, but if you love the feel of a mountain or lake lodge with a rich cedar interior or the efficiency apartment is appealing, you had better move quick before someone just like yourself finds it!! This home is priced to sell quick and will definitely be the most heavily marketed home at Canyon Lake, via Internet and print!!
