About This Home
Prepare to be enchanted by this exquisite property nestled near the heart of Historic Gruene. Surrounded by a vibrant community, this area offers an array of event venues, shopping, restaurants, resorts, LIVE MUSIC AT HISTORIC GRUENE HALL, river tubing businesses, and upscale residential communities, ensuring a lifestyle of both charm and convenience. Discover tranquility at the back of the lot, where a spring-fed lake graces the landscape, offering both beauty and practicality - Included in this enticing package is a delightful house at the forefront, complete with a storage shed and a well. While currently zoned as R2, there exists the exciting possibility of rezoning to suit your needs and aspirations.
850 SE Ewelling Ln is a land-driven offering in Gruene, with 4.964 acres near Historic Gruene and a spring-fed lake at the back of the property, a combination that is far harder to replicate than the existing improvements. In Gruene, buyers who understand long-term value start with the site first, and this parcel gives them nearly five acres in Comal County with water on the property and a recognizable location that continues to hold attention.
The existing residence is a 1950 single-family home with 2 bedrooms, 1 full bath, 1 half bath, and 1,274 square feet. At $1.50 million, or $1,177 per square foot, the pricing makes clear that this is not a conventional house-only purchase. The structure sits at the front of the lot, which leaves the acreage and the lake to define the broader opportunity. A storage shed and a well are already in place, giving the property immediate utility while a buyer evaluates the next move.
The setting matters because Historic Gruene is not just a name on a map. It is an established draw shaped by event venues, shopping, restaurants, resorts, river tubing businesses, upscale residential communities, and live music at Historic Gruene Hall. Those uses support year-round relevance and help explain why land in this pocket is analyzed differently from more standard residential inventory. The appeal is not based on marketing language. It is based on scarcity, identity, and the fact that buyers consistently place a premium on properties that sit close to the activity of Gruene while still offering room to spread out.
Current R2 zoning is another point that deserves a serious look. Any buyer considering this property should read it as a site with an existing house, existing support improvements, and a zoning profile that may invite future evaluation rather than a simple plug-and-play residential purchase. After 596 days on market, the clearest takeaway is still the same: the lasting value at 850 SE Ewelling Ln sits in the acreage, the spring-fed lake, and the Gruene location, with the current home serving as a practical foothold on a parcel that can be held, improved, or repositioned over time.
