Welcome to your family's next adventure - a place to gather, grow, and make lasting memories on the beautiful Medina River. This 4-bedroom, 2-bath home sits on over 8 riverfront acres with approximately 275 feet of Medina River frontage. All improvements are well outside the FEMA floodplain for peace of mind. Set back from the road, the home rests at the end of a gently sloping, chip-sealed circular driveway, nestled among mature oak trees. Enjoy flat terrain behind the home with panoramic views of the surrounding hills and the serene river. Nature lovers will appreciate the abundance of local wildlife - deer, waterfowl, foxes, and countless bird species call this area home. This property's steel construction, including a metal roof, makes it a forerunner of today's popular hill country barndominium style. Relax on the large screened-in patio, soak in the sunsets, and take in the peaceful beauty of river life. A 10-step metal staircase provides easy access to the water for exploring, kayaking, swimming, or fishing. Currently operating as a successful Airbnb, you can even "try before you buy." Additional features include: * Private water well with 2,700-gallon storage * High-speed fiber internet * Propane gas for the cooktop * Conventional septic system * A spacious shop building / man cave / she shed The river is flowing beautifully - schedule your private showing today and discover the charm of living on the Medina!
