104.6 feet of Guadalupe River frontage, 1.019 acres of waterfront land, and one of the most buildable homesites in the collection create a rare opportunity less than one mile from Historic Gruene. Multiple parcels are available, offering buyers the chance to secure Guadalupe River property in one of the Texas Hill Country's most sought-after destinations.
This property combines direct river access with a level homesite that is exceptionally well-suited for future construction. Unlike many waterfront properties that require significant site work, the terrain offers outstanding usability and flexibility for a custom home, vacation retreat, or long-term investment. The improved shoreline already features a concrete retaining wall, providing both functionality and long-term stability.
Mature shade trees and natural landscaping create a beautiful park-like setting, while the combination of open build space, river frontage, and Hill Country scenery provides the ideal backdrop for waterfront living. The Guadalupe River offers convenient access to kayaking, fishing, tubing, swimming, and year-round recreation.
Located just minutes from Gruene Hall, restaurants, boutique shopping, live music, river outfitters, downtown New Braunfels, and IH-35, the property delivers a unique combination of privacy, recreation, and convenience.
Riverfront properties offering this combination of frontage, level terrain, improved shoreline, mature trees, and proximity to Gruene are increasingly difficult to find. This is an exceptional opportunity to create something special along one of the most desirable stretches of the Guadalupe River.

Neighborhood guide and local insights
Downtown Austin runs from the Colorado River north to the Capitol, bounded by I-35 to the east and Lamar to the west. It is the densest residential market in Central Texas with high-rise condos, historic lofts, and luxury towers concentrated in distinct sub-districts. The Seaholm District anchors the west end with the Seaholm Residences and the new Google tower reshaping the skyline. Rainey Street sits along the lake's north shore - what was a street of bungalow bars is now flanked by 40-story residential towers including 70 Rainey and The Lakeshore. The Warehouse District between 3rd and 6th Streets draws buyers who want walkable nightlife and restaurant access. Congress Avenue bisects downtown and remains the civic spine connecting the Capitol to the lake. The Austonian (56 floors), The Independent (58 floors), and 360 Condominiums are the marquee towers. Newer projects like Sixth & Guadalupe and The Republic continue adding inventory. Price points range from $400K studio condos to $5M+ penthouses with lake and Hill Country views. Walk Score averages 95+. The MetroRail Red Line stops at downtown station. Major employers including the State of Texas, UT Austin, and a growing tech presence (Google, Meta, Apple satellite offices) generate consistent housing demand. Nightlife, dining, live music, and Lady Bird Lake hike-and-bike trail are all within walking distance. Buyers here are typically professionals, empty nesters downsizing from suburban estates, investors, and out-of-state relocations drawn to Austin's urban core. HOA fees range from $400/month in older buildings to $2,000+ in full-service towers. Most buildings include concierge, pool, fitness center, and secure parking.
