New ListingSome properties are more than a place to live-they have a story to tell. Nestled on 16.5 beautiful acres in Rio Medina, this remarkable property offers the rare opportunity to own a piece of Texas history, with more than 850 feet of Medina River frontage, a producing hay field, and a completely restored historic home originally built in the 1860s. At the heart of the property is the beautifully restored 1,662-square-foot home, where more than 160 years of history and character have been thoughtfully preserved. The home features 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom, along with a spacious upstairs loft currently arranged to comfortably accommodate five beds-creating a welcoming place for family and friends to gather. Two working fireplaces add to the home's authentic charm, while an outdoor fire pit sets the stage for evenings spent under the stars. Beyond the home, the land is what makes this property truly unforgettable. With approximately 850 feet of Medina River frontage, there is room to explore, relax, entertain, and enjoy the natural beauty of this special setting. A producing hay field supports the property's agricultural exemption, continuing the land's agricultural tradition while adding to its unique character. The possibilities here are as special as the property itself. Keep the historic home as a private weekend getaway, create a one-of-a-kind short-term rental, or build your dream home on the acreage and use the restored 1860s residence as a guest house or casita. It could also become an incredible family retreat or legacy property, offering a place where generations can gather and make memories along the Medina River. Imagine quiet mornings overlooking the hay field, afternoons spent along the river, and evenings gathered around the fire. Properties with this combination of history, acreage, river frontage, agricultural use, and versatility are truly hard to find.
