IMPROVEMENTS: This transitional Hill Country estate, custom built with precision by Mattern & Fitzgerald, offers a striking blend of luxury and craftsmanship. A grand entrance sets the tone, with floor-to-ceiling windows flooding the interior with natural light and highlighting the home's refined finishes. European white oak floors, smooth-finished walls, custom architectural elements, and designer lighting complement the use of exotic stone and marble throughout. Designed to maximize privacy and capture unparalleled property views from every room, the home delivers an exceptional sense of seclusion and connection to the surrounding landscape. The kitchen features top-of-the-line Wolf appliances, including four ovens, a warming drawer, two refrigerators, a KitchenAid undermount, and two dishwashers, all complemented by a spacious butler's pantry. It opens seamlessly to the family room, which features a stacked stone gas fireplace. The primary suite provides a private retreat with a spa-style bath, extensive custom cabinetry, dual closets, and a dedicated exercise room. A guest bedroom and study are located near the front of the home, while two additional guest suites are positioned on the opposite end, each with a private en-suite bath. A spacious game room includes a Scotsman ice machine and beverage fridge, opening to a covered patio and fully appointed outdoor kitchen ideal for entertaining. The resort-style outdoor area showcases a premier pool and spa surrounded by lush landscaping. The oversized, insulated, and air-conditioned four-car garage offers ample space, integrated EV charging, and a built-in pet wash station. Thoughtfully maintained as a pet-free residence, the home offers an allergy-conscious environment while still accommodating convenience with a full pet wash station in the garage. LAND / HABITAT: The ranch has been meticulously cleared of almost all cedar, allowing native grasses to flourish and highlighting the abundance of Live Oaks and other native hardwoods, creating a park-like setting. All oaks have been professionally laced to enhance views and natural light, opening up many flat building sites and showcasing long-range hilltop views. The extensive clearing and grooming make it ideal for potential development. The gently rolling and totally usable terrain has elevations ranging from 1,280 to 1,400' ASL. Uniquely, this is the only ranch in the area capable of supporting the construction of a 4,500 ft. runway, offering one-of-a-kind private aviation potential. The ranch is cross-fenced into several pastures allowing for easy rotational grazing of livestock, and there are multiple food plots scattered across the property. The perimeter is approximately 60% high-fenced with the remainder being low-fenced. There is an excellent road system in place with a newly constructed 1-mile paved entry road to the main house and miles of improved caliche roads allowing easy access across the ranch in all weather conditions. UTILITIES: Four separate areas are equipped with electricity, providing a total of 1,600 amps of service. Two 2,000-gallon propane tanks are installed underground, offering reliable off-grid energy capacity. WATER: The ranch has excellent water infrastructure with six water wells (four recently drilled) that distribute water across the property to multiple water troughs, ensuring livestock and wildlife never have to travel far for a drink. Three of the water wells service the main house and the 45,000 gallons of water storage capacity. There is also a year-round spring that feeds a small creek drainage on the ranch. LOCATION: Positioned just off major road 3351, the location is highly investable with increasing long-term value potential. Its close proximity to Cordillera Ranch, Boerne, San Antonio, and Austin offers rare convenience while maintaining total seclusion.

Welcome to Iron Rapids Ranch, an extraordinary +/-43-acre live-water retreat nestled along one of the most coveted stretches of the Guadalupe River in the Texas Hill Country. Located at 214 Marquardt Road just 11 miles from downtown Boerne, this remarkable property offers a rare combination of premier Guadalupe River frontage, fertile and productive land, exceptional improvements, and the kind of privacy and serenity that has become increasingly difficult to find. Named for the gentle limestone rapids that flow beneath a canopy of towering cypress trees, Iron Rapids Ranch is more than a place to own-it's a place to experience. Here, mornings begin with coffee on the porch as mist rises off the river, afternoons are spent kayaking, fishing, or swimming beneath centuries-old cypress trees, and evenings end gathered around the firepit while the sounds of rushing water echo through the valley. It's the kind of property where families establish traditions, children spend summers outdoors, and memories are measured by seasons spent along the Guadalupe. The custom-built residence, completed in 2019, encompasses approximately 2,539 square feet and was thoughtfully designed to maximize natural light and showcase the surrounding landscape. Expansive windows frame beautiful Hill Country views, while the open-concept floor plan creates an ideal setting for entertaining and everyday living alike.

Warm finishes and inviting gathering spaces provide a comfortable elegance that feels equally suited for weekend retreats or full-time residence.

A workshop and carport originally designed for woodworking and equipment storage provide excellent utility, while an implement shed sits conveniently near the orchard. Full RV hookups allow guests to comfortably enjoy extended stays. High-fenced orchard and garden areas are supported by extensive drip irrigation systems, creating outstanding opportunities for gardening, orchards, greenhouses, poultry, beekeeping, and a sustainable Hill Country lifestyle. A dependable private water well services the improvements and contributes to the property's long-term usability. The landscape itself is both beautiful and productive. Fertile sandy loam soils support improved coastal fields, established orchard areas, and gardens, while mature hardwoods and native vegetation provide shade, privacy, and excellent wildlife habitat. The entire property is high fenced, offering flexibility for livestock, agricultural pursuits, equestrian interests, or the establishment of a managed exotic game program. The crown jewel of Iron Rapids Ranch is undoubtedly its spectacular Guadalupe River frontage. Offering approximately 800+/- feet of private access, this stretch of the river is truly exceptional. Massive cypress trees line the limestone banks, creating a setting that feels timeless and almost untouched. Natural rapids cascade over limestone shelves while deeper pools invite swimming, floating, and fishing throughout the year. Whether casting a line beneath overhanging branches, launching a kayak into the cool waters, or simply relaxing beneath the shade of the riverbank, the Guadalupe becomes an integral part of daily life here. Wildlife thrives throughout the property. Whitetail deer move through the fields and hardwoods during the early mornings and evenings, while turkey, dove, and countless native bird species live on the ranch. The combination of live water, fertile soils, mature trees, and protected habitat creates an environment rich with both recreational opportunities and natural beauty.
