$100,000 PRICE REDUCTION!! MOTIVATED SELLER SAYS TO BRING OFFERS NOW!! If you are looking for a very good, but not extravagant, extremely well built home in a gated, secure neighborhood with the best unblockable, up-close rear waterview and hillview at Canyon Lake, you have found it!

This home is 2917 square feet with 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, an office/study, and a big bonus room that could be used as a game room or a bedroom for guests. All of the home with the exception of the bonus room is ground level, one-story. A great feature for retirees.

The home was very thoughtfully custom built by the current owner. He had two main goals:

1. To capture the spectacular waterviews and hillviews from all of the rooms at the rear of the home.

2. To build an extremely energy efficient and solid,, yet attractive home that is comfortable but functional as well. On a section of this website titled, Features, you will find 4 pages that list every feature of this home you could need to know.

The master bedroom, breakfast nook, kitchen, living room, and 3rd bedroom all have wonderful views of the water and the surrounding hill country. On a clear day you can see all the way to Blanco and the Twin Sisters peaks. The master, living room and 3rd bedroom all have atrium style doors that open to a combination tile floored patio and treated wood deck for relaxing and enjoying the views.

The home was positioned perfectly on the lot to face just enough to the northwest to be able to enjoy the beautiful sunsets.

The tile floored patio is 45' long with 80% covered by an extension of the homes roof. The deck extends off the patio and is 70' long, with about 40' covered and an attractive painted, 36" tall iron railing with cedar posts on the perimeter of the whole deck.

The backyard has a very gradual slope down to a flat area that would be perfect for a large swimming pool and deck area. The whole rear area of the home and lot is perfectly suited for relaxing and entertaining either small or large groups in the privacy of the rear of the home while enjoying the fantastic views.

The lot is actually the unsung hero of this home. It is very rare at Canyon Lake to be able to find a rear facing lot that has such an up-close and spectacular lake and hillview all the way across the horizon, with such a usable rear portion of the lot. Typically, at Canyon Lake a home with this type of view would be on a very steep lot with most of it being unusable. It is rectangular in shape with the dimensions being 127' across the front, 327' deep on the right side, 142' across the rear, and 297' on the left side. The back of the lot is mowed and landscaped down to about 125' shy of the back of the lot. At that point there is a slight ledge and then another large portion of the lot that is currently not being used. Per subdivision restrictions the whole perimeter of the lot can be fenced and deer-proofed with ornamental type fencing and a privacy fence can be built around the area where the pool would be placed.

This is the best rear waterview lot in Oak Shores Estate and would easily sell in the neighborhood of $200,000 as raw land.

The home has a classic Texas Hill Country style with 4 sides of white Austin Limestone exterior and a gray standing seam 8:12 pitch metal roof. There is a unique white limestone walled courtyard in the front of the home and nearly $50,000 in landscaping upgrades.

The home was constructed for energy efficiency. The exterior walls are all 2x6 studs with 6" batts of insulation and a rating of R-23. When you walk into the huge and very tall attic area the Roof-Tech shield insulation panels are clearly visible between the roof framing and the entire metal roof. There is 10" of blown insulation covering the entire attic floor with a rating of R-33. The home was designed for the attic to cover the entire home, even the garages so there is no part of the home that is not heavily insulated. Add in insulated windows with a low R-rating and solar shades, high efficiency Rudd propane furnaces and high efficiency Rudd A/C units of 3.5 and 2.5 tons each, and two zones for cooling and heating and you get a 3,000 sq ft home with an average monthly electric bill of only $115 and an average monthly propane bill of only $105 per month!

The garages have insulated walls, ceilings, and doors. One of the most unique features of the home is the attached boat/RV garage. There is a side facing oversized two-car garage, but there is also a front facing 28' deep x 20' wide x 11' tall garage that was designed specifically for boats and r/v's. This garage has a 9' door, faces front for easy access and even has a picture window with a spectacular lakeview.

The interior of the home is very comfortable, spacious, and functional. There is an abundance of closets, storage areas, and cabinets. All are attractive, solid oak and strong. The floors are an off-white ceramic tile, highest grade carpet in the bedrooms, and new hardwood floors in the living area and office. All countertops are an attractive off-white ceramic tile that match the floors. The ceilings range from 9' to 11' with double steps in the master and living room and a coffered ceiling in the dining room with an accent wall. All the rooms have ceiling fans with lights.

The floor plan flows easily and provides privacy with split secondary bedrooms with their own hallway and full bath between. The master is located on the back corner of the home with it's own hallway for privacy and a door to access the rear deck. There are large his and her master closets with 9' ceilings and her's  is 14' long. One of the most attractive areas of the home is the master bath. It's large and open with a combination of off-white tiles, oak cabinets and linen closets, and soft colors that is very relaxing and attractive.

Located on the southside of Canyon Lake, this home has easy access to everything you need. Shopping in New Braunfels, Gruene and Bulverde is only 15 miles to the south. The outlet malls in San Marcos are a 25-30 minute drive. The outskirts of San Antonio are 20 miles to the south. The San Antonio airport is about a 40 minute drive, and Austin is a little over 1 hour to the north.
