This waterfront home in Canyon Lake Hills is one of the few with direct, usable water access. It's versatile as a primary residence, a vacation/secondary retreat, or a short or long term rental. Unlike many neighboring properties that offer only views, this home features direct access to the shoreline. It sits along an expansive stretch of waterfront between boat ramps 6 and 7, capturing wide, unobstructed lake views and delivering a genuine lakefront lifestyle. It also allows you to drive or transport equipment right to the water's edge, making swimming, boating, and paddleboarding easy and immediate. The 2,953 square foot residence offers 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, featuring a flexible layout thoughtfully designed for both daily living and entertaining. Multiple living areas, a stone fireplace, and an open concept kitchen are framed by soaring ceilings and expansive windows oriented to maximize the lake views throughout. Modernized for efficiency and comfort, the home includes a renovated kitchen and bathrooms, a newer upper level HVAC system, a newer water heater, and Low E energy efficient windows. The outdoor experience is a standout feature, with multiple decks and patios positioned to capture the natural beauty of the shoreline. A key highlight is the dedicated drive thru workshop, providing a seamless pathway for vehicle access or a direct route to the water. Adding exceptional value and flexibility, the detached 500 square foot garage apartment provides a private retreat for guests or a prime opportunity for additional rental income. Residents also enjoy the community pool and several community boat ramps providing convenient access to the lake. Situated within easy reach of San Antonio and Austin, this property stands out as a premier waterfront destination combining long term value with an active lakefront lifestyle. True waterfront homes with direct, drive down access are increasingly rare this is a residence and retreat opportunity not to be missed.
