The Mansion on Top of a Hill

James Bigley is always on the search of unique properties in Texas  This property fits the bill in so many ways.  It attracted a visit when I read it was abandoned and to be cautious when showing the property due to broken glass etc.

Nestled on top of a hill with sweeping views, the owner of this 30 acre property once had major dreams for this property.  Construction started on this 5500+ sq ft, 5 bed, 5+1 bath, in 2001.  You can tell the owners put their heart and soul into the property due to the ornate stone work and the grand outlay of the property.  I can imagine they were not going to spare anything on this build.

According to the listing agent construction suddenly halted when the property was vandalized some time ago.  From what has been said a group of people came through the property and shot out many of expensive windows out of the property.  Once this was done the owner lost all interest in the property and it has been in stale state ever since.   

Location:  The property is a few minutes out of Boerne Texas.  The location of the home to be built was to take advantage of the sweeping views.  The hill has a commanding view miles in the West.  Check out the drone footage and videos.  Of course these videos do not do it justice.  

Property:  Seller is asking $1.2mm for this property, considering the location, 30 acres, and the work done already the seller is motivated for someone to come in and make this property into what it was supposed to be.  From what I saw it was a 5 bed, 5 bath and half, home with over 5500+ sq ft, 3 fireplaces, large rooms, vaulted ceilings, etc.  The architecture throughout the house is very unique and changes throughout the exterior of the property.  Not only rock is used, but large limestone pieces, and even mosaics exist.  Per video, the property needs lots of work.  All electricity, plumbing, for the most part has been ran. 

Video walk through of the property, aerial footage, and pictures below.  If you know some that is looking for an awesome investment property or a blank canvas to build a dream home please reach out to James Bigley.  

This picture is from the back side of the property.  It is interesting they used this style all of sudden in the rock work.

Disclaimer: Listing has been offered through Remax

This mosaic exists on the backside of the home also.  Great detail exists among the unique rocks that surround the mosaic and other places on the exterior.  

Sweeping views of Kendall County and miles of terrain from the back porches!   

Video walk through of the property as of October 2018.  Home has been vandalized and abandoned for some  time.  Wendy day with overcast!
