A rare find: twenty acres of wildlife-exempt Hill Country land paired with a move-in-ready home, just 5 minutes from downtown Boerne. This Bruce Baker custom build offers 4,827 sq ft, 4 bedrooms, 4 full baths, two living areas, a formal dining room, an eat-in breakfast room, and an office/study with an adjacent full bath, that easily serve as a 5th bedroom. The newly remodeled kitchen overlooks the courtyard, with French doors opening onto it from the second living area, plus a breakfast nook tucked just off to the side. The oversized great room boasts a stone fireplace, beamed ceilings, and slate flooring throughout. Beyond the light-filled Florida room, which would be ideal as a sitting area or additional office, the oversized primary suite impresses with a two-sided stone fireplace and a screened porch overlooking the property. The "Sunday House" wing was taken down to the studs and rebuilt, offering 3 bedrooms and 2 baths (one a Jack-and-Jill), plus a climate-controlled attic for storage. The twenty acres are fully usable, tillable, and high-fenced within Kendall County, with cross-fencing and dedicated paddocks already in place for livestock. Two high-producing water wells serve the property, one for the house, one for livestock. Approximately 3 acres of park-like landscaped and natural areas surrounding the house are completely deer-proofed, allowing for ornamental plantings and delicate vegetation to be enjoyed around the home without worry. Additional features include a fully predator-proofed quarter-acre free-range hen yard and Amish-built coop, a Generac 26-kW whole-house generator, and fiber optic broadband internet service to the house. The water supply lines for the entire home have also been replumbed. Parking and storage are abundant: a 580 sq ft oversized two-car garage with epoxy flooring and a 270 sq ft man cave above; an 820 sq ft barn and shop with high-clearance, automatic overhead doors; and a 5-bay carport for RV/boat storage. Minutes to downtown Boerne's farmers market, restaurants, and boutiques; about 30 minutes to San Antonio. Zoned for acclaimed Boerne ISD, Cibolo Creek Elementary, Voss Middle, and Champion High. This is a rare property; don't miss your chance to own 20 acres this close to Boerne!
