Description
There are very few properties on Canyon Lake that have it ALL as this one does. This 4.16 Acre Waterfront property on the main body of Canyon Lake is truly spectacular! Even with record low lake levels, this stunning property has magnificent views of the lake that stretch from the eastern end at Canyon Lake Dam, to the westernmost part of the lake where the Guadalupe feeds into the lake. At certain times of the year, you can see BOTH Sunrise AND Sunset from this property. It is located on a peninsula in the middle of Canyon Lake in the older, but very popular, subdivision Canyon Lake Island. This property has 335' WFF (water front feet) with most of the property being above the flood plain and the USACE flowage easement at elevation 948'. An older as-built survey is attached, along with recent CCEO GIS map with FEMA floodplain and contours superimposed. Interestingly enough, the bottom 1.08 acres are NOT a part of the subdivision and are therefore unzoned and unrestricted. The previous owner, a VERY dear friend, built this house in 2002. She and her husband were some of the original lot purchasers in Canyon Lake Island many decades ago and therefore had essentially one of the FIRST PICKS. They were both devout lovers of flora, fauna and especially ROCKS. They were both Rockhounds for many years and had an incredible collection. One of the unique aspects of this home is that the entire foyer was paved with slabs they had cut from petrified wood that they had collected over the years. Truly spectacular! Though 23 years old, this home has been very well taken care of throughout the last two decades. While some upgrades may be desirable, this home has great bones, is very well-designed and superbly maintained. A great deal of thought went into the design of this home to maximize the views of the lake and to keep access, circulation and maintenance easy (one story) as they aged. The stunning 3-sided stone fireplace is the centerpiece of the living/dining/kitchen area. The oak hardwood floors are in superb condition. Many custom built-in cabinets and desks throughout. This 2701 SF home has 3 official bedrooms (rooms with closets) and two other rooms that could be used for various things such as a craft room, or a Mother-In-Law suite as it has a separate sink area and separate outside entrance. This home has a bonafide Butler's Pantry making unloading groceries from the garage and laundry area a dream... The central vacuum system throughout is still operational. This property has many older specimen live oaks that have been maintained over the years to preserve both shade, habitat for wildlife, but also to preserve that amazing lake view. The home faces South/SE which means it gets the southern breezes that Canyon Lake is known for. The xeriscape around the home and throughout the entire 4.16 acres, make landscape maintenance a dream. Most of the area has been left in its natural state. If you look at the photos at the very end, the children have provided some great photos of the wildlife that frequent this property. This property is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Don't miss out!
