Walls of windows frame breathtaking lake views and flood the home with natural light, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. Step outside to a true resort-caliber retreat featuring an oversized pool and multiple expansive patios—perfect for sunset dining or relaxed poolside lounging. The primary suite is a sanctuary of its own, opening to a private upstairs terrace with sweeping views of Canyon Lake. For those who value both luxury and functionality, the property offers a 3-car garage plus an impressive RV/boat garage complete with full hookups—ideal for lake life and beyond.

At 194 Placid Way in Spring Branch, Spring Branch, you're buying direct access to Canyon Lake's water sports season without the commute. Built in 2023 on 2.18 acres with RV hookups already installed, this 5,245-square-foot stone estate is engineered as a basecamp for an active family, not just a house.
The layout works because adventure gear lives here with purpose. A dedicated 3-car garage plus an RV/boat garage with full hookups means your jet skis, fishing boat, and road trip setup stay prepped and accessible. The main floor primary bedroom lets you wake up to lake views and hit the water within minutes. Four full baths and a half bath handle the logistics of a household in motion - kids cycling between pool time, school schedules at Rebecca Creek Elementary or Mountain Valley Middle through Comal ISD, and weekend lake days.
The kitchen anchors base camp operations. A gas range, built-in refrigerator, wine cooler, and full pantry support both quick weekday fueling and larger group entertaining on those "bring the crew over" weekends. Multiple living areas and an open floor plan mean you're not isolated from action while prepping food. Vaulted ceilings and walls of windows frame the water, keeping you visually connected to what's happening outside even when you're inside.
The actual rush happens outside. A private pool gives you water time on your schedule. Multiple decks and patios facing Canyon Lake create natural gathering points for sunset dinners or morning coffee with lake sound in the background. A covered rear porch and outdoor grill extend the season beyond summer weekends. An upstairs terrace opens from the primary suite - the kind of space where you watch storm activity roll across the water or plan the next adventure.
At $439 per square foot, you're paying for proximity. Canyon Lake sits minutes away via local roads. Comal Springs offers tubing and kayaking. Table Rock Lake and the Hill Country backcountry are within 30-45 minutes. This isn't a vacation property you close up between visits. This is where active families base their operations, where the home is the launchpad for everything that happens next.
