Banshee Hollow / Guadalupe River Ranch has remained in the same family for nearly 60 years, offering a rare opportunity to own a piece of Texas Hill Country river property rich in history and natural beauty. The ranch features roughly 635 feet of Guadalupe River frontage, lined by majestic cypress trees and easily accessed by a stepped walkway. Positioned across from a large ranch protected by a conservation easement, the opposite riverbank will remain free from future development-preserving the peaceful, unspoiled views. The property currently benefits from a wildlife exemption, helping keep property taxes low. Traditionally used for recreation, hunting, and creating lasting family memories, the ranch includes a farmhouse. The home is owner-occupied, with additional bedrooms accommodating guests and hunters. Despite its secluded feel, the property is conveniently located just a 25-minute drive from San Antonio (Loop 1604) and less than a 15 minute drive to HEB, Walmart, Home Depot and other shopping and a variety of dining options. This unique combination of accessibility and tranquility makes Banshee Hollow a truly exceptional offering.
