Tucked inside the gated section of Mission Hills Ranch in New Braunfels, this 3,700+ sqft home on 1.6 acres offers something increasingly rare in today's market space, privacy, and major system upgrades already completed. Backing to a private ranch, the property delivers uninterrupted Hill Country views and a level of quiet seclusion that's difficult to replicate. What truly separates this home from others in its price range is over $200,000 invested in meaningful improvements. A metal roof (2020), multiple HVAC system upgrades (2019 2023), radiant barrier insulation, and whole home air purification systems provide long term reliability and peace of mind. Inside, the layout is both functional and spacious, featuring a grand entry staircase, private office (or 6th bedroom), formal dining room, and an expansive upstairs bonus area. The main level primary suite offers privacy, while additional bedrooms upstairs provide flexibility for family, guests, or work from home needs. A striking interior balcony enhances the open concept design with natural light and architectural character. Recent interior updates include refinished cabinetry, fresh paint, updated lighting and ceiling fans, smart thermostats, and a built in wine fridge, creating a move in ready environment without the need for immediate upgrades. Outside, significant investments have been made to improve usability and function, including extensive yard regrading, added concrete walkways, decorative metal fencing, and a large metal storage building on slab features not commonly found in comparable properties. An oversized side entry garage offers flexibility for multiple vehicles, storage, or workspace. Location matters and this home stands above the rest. With quick access to Highway 46, IH 35, and US 281 working from New Braunfels, San Antonio, or Austin is no longer an issue. Come see this amazing home today!
