About this home
Rare Blanco River Waterfront in Prestigious Gated Southriver! Behind the gates of Wimberley’s most exclusive enclave sits 831 Southriver, true Blanco River frontage on 1.53 heavily treed acres. This 2006 custom home (2,986 sq ft) delivers privacy, prestige, and effortless Hill Country living at a price that rarely hits the river market. The open, airy layout features 5 bedrooms and 3 full baths. Downstairs offers two bedroom options (one perfect as a dedicated study, office, or gym) plus two baths for easy daily living or guests. Upstairs, three more bedrooms share the third bath. Highlights include soaring ceilings, a striking custom Southwest style fireplace, and abundant natural light. Outside, the oversized 2-car garage with high ceilings keeps things practical, while the inviting outdoor space with a built-in BBQ is made for legendary Texas summers. Fire up the grill, crank the music, and let the river provide the vibe as friends and family gather under the towering trees. Location is pure gold: you’re minutes from downtown Wimberley, walk to City Hall, H-E-B, restaurants, library, and shopping. San Marcos is just 15 miles away. Southriver itself is a small, elegant gated community on the south bank of the Blanco, known for luxury homes, majestic cypress trees, and that rare mix of seclusion and convenience. Recently refreshed with a new standing seam roof (2024) and fresh exterior paint (2025), this property is move-in ready and built for both comfort and entertaining. If you’ve been chasing authentic Blanco River waterfront in Wimberley with the security and exclusivity of a gated neighborhood, Southriver stands alone. Privacy, prestige, and river sounds in your backyard this is the one. Opportunities like this don’t linger. Come claim your slice of the Blanco.
