The river flows
It flows to the sea
Wherever that river flows
That's where I want to be

Wimberley waterfront homes on the Blanco River reside on some of the most beautiful land in Texas. When buying, please, do your homework. Study the flood plain maps, know your septic/well information, as well as deed restrictions and make sure you know the properties high water mark for building purposes. Blanco River homes are the most sought after and highest priced properties in Wimberley. Bottom line..there are very few that come on the market and when they do, they bring premium dollars. Location, number of acres, linear frontage, depth of water and view, all play a role in pricing. Know that all Blanco River properties are not the same and vary in terms of tree coverage, building site location, road noise, accessibility and volume of water flow. Make sure that your Blanco River dream home and the home owners association's restrictions are harmonious. If you find you can not afford river frontage look into subdivisions with Blanco River parks for their homeowners such as River Mountain Ranch, Paradise Hills, Southriver and River Oaks.

Please know that the commission is already contractually set. You do not pay the buyer agent (again, hopefully me) for representing you and your interests, and you do not save money by going directly to the listing agent. If a buyer chooses to deal directly with the listing agent, the listing agent keeps the entire commission instead of splitting it with the buyers agent. Answer : YES, YES, YES, YES. Please email or call me 512-461-2865 with any questions. * Direction from the Wimberley square. I am not listing addresses out of respect for the privacy of the current owners. ** As of February 4, 2010. |
