Great Secluded Home with Private Pool & on Wooded Lot Alamo Ranch Area!

Picture yourself and your family relaxing by our private pool while you enjoy the peace and quiet of our home sitting on just over 1/2 acre of wooded seclusion. Do you want a quiet and charming retreat with tons of room inside and the occasional wildlife sighting outside? If so, then look no further! Please note pool is NOT heated. We just had the pool replastered and additional work done so it is ready for our summer visitors! We also screened in and decorated the back porch in late 2022 with seating for 7. The pool has seating for 6 and also has 6 nice loungers to catch some rays.

This home is in the popular Alamo Ranch area, and we updated it in late 2019 with new floors, furniture, paint and a few extra touches.

Home sits on over ½ an acre with tons of trees and millions of stars in the night sky. Perfect to be viewed from the pool area which can hold all the homes guests. Be on the lookout as you may even see the occasional deer, opossum, lightning bugs, skunk, racoon, armadillo, squirrel or other wildlife! The home’s subdivision backs up to the popular 12,244 acre Government Canyon State Natural Area which is a great place to go hike, picnic or ride bikes. It is also bordered by a recharge zone and water way for added peace and quiet.

This home away from home is for those who want to stay in a quiet neighborhood just outside city limits and yet close to several of the major area attractions (Sea World & Fiesta Texas), conveniences, malls, movie / entertainment centers and shopping in the area. Medina Lake and the popular Paradise Canyon for boating, fishing, kayaking, swimming, picnicking or floating down the Medina River are also just down the road! Lackland AFB is also only 25 minutes away. Riverwalk & downtown is within reach and 30 minutes away.

We are offering the perfect get away for anyone looking for some peace and quiet yet to be close enough to town for all the conveniences. Recently completed road leading to house is now 4 lanes (2 each way) for added convenience.

Home features 2 separate, comfortable living areas, 2 eating areas, 4 bedrooms, and 2 & 1/2 baths. Plenty of room for everyone in the family to have some of their own personal space or be together. Perfect for two families or a group of friends as home sleeps 5 upstairs and 4 downstairs. Upstairs features the combo main bedroom/ bath, two additional bedrooms and 1 full bathroom. Downstairs features a bedroom with a queen bed, a sofa sleeper, and a 1/2 bath. Main bedroom added a new king bedroom set in 2022 with new mattresses!

Home has two separate living areas, both with Roku TV's which allows you to have added space for everyone! We have family games, books. local magazines and DVD's available for your use to help enhance your stay. We would love for you to become one of our regular families that visit us every year or two.

Great bachelorette getaway
My wedding party and I had an excellent time. We were given a very clean and private place to rest. The pool was immaculate and the property was great. The owners had a great line of communication and it was helpful that they sent a check out list. I hope to go back in the future with my soon to be husband.

Nice Home
Home was nice. Our boys really enjoyed the pool. House is about 30 minutes from everywhere you want to go in San Antonio, but that is due to the plethora of road construction just as much as distance. Located on the west side of town as well.

Reunion in San Antonio
My 94 year old mom said it was one of the best vacations she has ever had. Seeing her family and being able to make memories together was wonderful. The outdoor screen house, if cleaned and screens replaced, would be a great space. The indoor space is decorated very nicely and was plenty of room for all.

Peaceful getaway
House is a bit outside of town, which was the ideal setting for our peaceful getaway. It is a 35-40 minute drive to downtown San Antonio, which entertained our family during the day…and got us ready for a refreshing swim when we got back to the house. The hosts were generous with their hospitality, but also gave us space to enjoy ourselves.

Quiet neighborhood yet close to the city
Ver nice and quiet neighborhood, but still close to the city and attractions! Absolutely loved the welcome basket with Texas goodies! My only complaint would be the beds upstairs were terribly uncomfortable, I would suggest investing in better quality mattresses

Quiet and peaceful
There were so many things we enjoyed about this property. It was in a nice quiet area. No sirens, no car horns and actually very little noise at all. The home was spacious enough for our family and the pool was wonderful. The home was well stocked with dishes, pots and pans towels etc. The owners left a gift basket waiting for us upon arrival that was so thoughtful. Any questions or concerns we had were immediately responded to and we hated to leave since we enjoyed our stay so much and hopefully we can stay in this home again someday.

Mini Getaway
The kids and I were needing a break from being stuck at home. We chose this place because of it's location and the POOL. It was an amazing mini getaway. The kids had a great time. We took a trip to nearby Paradise Canyon. It's beautiful! The owners were very commutative and welcomed us with a Texas gift basket filled with goodies. Such a nice treat!
