Sabinal River Retreat is a rare offering at the quiet edge of Sabinals city limits, where live water, history, and long-term potential converge. With over 625 feet of cypress-lined Sabinal River frontage, a remodeled historic cottage, and no known restrictions, this is both a deeply personal retreat and a compelling investment opportunity.
A weathered barn dating back to 1900 still stands as a reminder of the lands roots, while a thoughtfully remodeled 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage (circa 1965) provides comfortable, move-in-ready living. Whether held as a private escape, income-producing asset, or future development plan, this property offers flexibility that is truly difficult to find.

Positioned at the edge of Sabinals city limits, and just 20 minutes to either Uvalde or Hondo, the property enjoys the convenience of town access while maintaining a private, tucked-away feel. Utilities are already in place, including city water, upgraded septic, and fiber optic internet available at the road; a rare blend of rural character and modern infrastructure.
The cottage sits toward the front corner of the property, preserving the majority of the acreage behind it and along the river for future use, expansion, or additional improvements.
Landscape and Improvements
The land is usable, open, and inviting and gently transitioning from the homesite down toward the river corridor. Mature trees provide shade and privacy, while the historic barn adds authentic character and potential for restoration, storage, or creative repurposing.
The remodeled cottage balances charm and function, offering immediate livability while still fitting naturally into the propertys historic setting. Its placement allows the remainder of the land to remain largely untouched, which may serve as a blank canvas for guest cabins, tiny homes, RV's or whatever you envision.
With no known restrictions, the flexibility here is significant, whether for short-term rentals, a boutique hospitality concept, family compound, or long-term land hold in a riverfront corridor that continues to grow in demand.
Water
The Sabinal River is the defining feature of this property.
With over 625 feet of accessible, swimmable frontage, this stretch of river is lined with mature cypress trees and offers both beauty and recreation. Clear pools, shaded banks, and gentle current create an environment ideal for swimming, fishing, kayaking, or simply sitting beneath the trees and just being with Nature.
Quality live water of this measure, especially this close to town and without restrictions, is increasingly scarce. It is not only a lifestyle asset, but a tangible driver of long-term value in the Texas Hill Country market.
Wildlife & Recreation
The river corridor naturally draws wildlife, creating a peaceful sanctuary atmosphere throughout the property. Whitetail deer, native birds, and other Hill Country species are frequent visitors along the shaded banks and tree-lined edges.
Recreation can be simple and organic here with morning walks to the river, afternoons fishing, and evenings under wide Texas stars. The layout of the land encourages both solitude and gathering, whether hosting family weekends or creating a hospitality experience centered around the river.
Summary
Sabinal River Retreat offers something increasingly rare: meaningful Sabinal River frontage, historic character, infrastructure in place, and no known restrictions, all within reach of town conveniences.
It is a property that can be enjoyed immediately while holding strong upside potential for the future; a private retreat, an income-producing getaway, or a long-term riverfront investment.
