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.

POOL DISCLAIMER: The swimming pool is serviced on Fridays each week by a professional pool company. There are no guarantees or warranties on the pools condition between servicing. Items like windstorms, rain, severe weather, and other acts of nature are not the fault of the owner. The pool is serviced weekly like any other pool so in between services there may be leaves, bugs, dirt or other natural occurring debris found. These situations do not warrant any type of refund or other type of compensation to the guest.

The pool is unavailable from November 1st through March 1st. The pool is unheated and not serviced or available during this timeframe.

The back porch also after severe weather may have debris from dirt to leaves. It is cleaned after each guest’s departure, however, can get dirty during bad weather between guests as our home is in a rural area. All floaties and pool accessories have been left by previous guests. These items are NOT safety checked and should be used at your own risk.

Also, the jacuzzi that is pictured has not worked for over 22 years and is not heated. If you want to use the pool during non-peak season, please ask if it can be made available prior to your stay.

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.

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.

Well loved home
This house has obvious history, and feels well loved. Plenty of space for all of us to spread out. Quiet location, a bit hard to find in the dark but available for both DoorDash and Instacart.

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.

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.

Peaceful setting
We had a wonderful time staying in this home while visiting our Airman. Temperatures were 106-110 degrees each day, so the pool was very much enjoyed! The home is well stocked, so we didn’t need anything. The welcome basket was very nice and appreciated. I enjoyed feeling removed from the city yet only being minutes away by driving.

Country-Like Setting / Close to City
We enjoyed our stay at this home earlier this month. The property is thick with trees so it feels like staying in the country even though we were just minuted away from all of the stores, restaurants, etc. The home was as expected with lots of little extras. We appreciated the way the owners took our needs into account with the planning and extra touches. Also, the pool was GREAT!! It was the perfect place to both unwind at the end of the day AND to get the day started!

Visiting our first grandbaby!! 💕
This home worked very well for our family, visiting the area for the arrival of our first grandbaby! Everyone had plenty of room to have some privacy as well as all gather together. The pool provided plenty of entertainment and allowed us to stay at home and visit instead of having to leave the house in search of entertainment. And there was a pleasant surprise waiting for us upon arrival .. our first evening's dinner and breakfast for morning! Takes the pressure off shopping for food right away!!
