Sitting on 10 acres in Waggener Ranch, 230 Dry Bear Creek in New Braunfels delivers the kind of arrival moment that defines Hill Country prestige. Spanish Mediterranean architecture with wrought-iron gates frames a courtyard entry that announces substance before you step inside, and the 3,524 square feet that follow justify every expectation.

The interior architecture stops you immediately. Soaring ceilings anchored by Kentucky tobacco barn beams tower over an old-world fireplace that radiates warmth across multiple living areas connected by an open floor plan. Tray ceilings and beamed details run throughout, creating vertical drama that photographs don't quite capture. The primary suite commands main-level placement with dual primary baths, a whirlpool tub, separate shower, double vanities, and a sitting area that functions as private office, fitness space, or reading retreat. An adjoining sunroom with sliding glass doors dissolves the boundary between interior and landscape.

The kitchen performs at the level this home demands. Six-burner gas cooktop, double built-in ovens, walk-in pantry, bar refrigerator, granite counters, kitchen island, and expansive prep surfaces support the kind of entertaining these grounds invite. Natural woodwork and built-in cabinetry throughout reflect craftwork that commands attention.

The in-law suite with separate entrance solves multigenerational living without compromise. Two primary closets, walk-in closets, and a layout designed around accessibility (no interior steps) mean function matches finishes. A study anchors the home office requirement.

Outside, the property shifts to resort scale. Resort-style pool with fountain, multiple covered patios, and sweeping hillside views create a sanctuary separated from neighbors by rolling terrain and mature trees. The cul-de-sac lot on a private maintained road means traffic is theoretical. A detached workshop, 4-car attached garage, and additional detached garage provide storage most estates overlook. The wildlife exemption positions this acreage for long-term value beyond square footage math.

Comal ISD enrollment flows through Bill Brown Elementary, Smithson Valley Middle, and Smithson Valley High School. At $538 per square foot on 10 private acres, this property appeals to buyers who measure value by acreage, privacy, and the craftwork visible in every room. The six-day market time reflects its position in the category where authentic Hill Country estates command serious capital.
