Property Description
The River Home in Castell features almost 5 acres of some of the finest riverfront property available anywhere in Texas. The clear water of the Llano River flows along the 325 feet of prime river frontage. Overhanging trees provide shade along the bank for picnics and lounging, and the water is mere steps away. A cool soak is accompanied by the sound of water over rock and wind through the grasses. Further up the bank ancient oaks and granite boulders dot the wild hillside. The old German home was built in 1910 and features 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a large front porch, a sunroom, Craftsman-style built-ins, and an outdoor shower. The home has a good well, not even requiring a storage tank as so many homes in the area do. An old stone wall that was once part of a stage coach stop provides shelter for a patio and numerous native plantings attract birds and butterflies. Also on the grounds are several outbuildings of varying age and shape, including a metal barn and metal RV shed. A partially renovated vintage travel trailer sits under a massive oak and is ready to be finished out as a river "cottage". Water pumping rights for the river are grandfathered in. The River Home is located in the tiny German town of Castell, once the northernmost settlement of the German Adelsverein, and now a small but thriving tourist destination. Take a walk down to the Castell General Store for lunch or live music, or hop in a kayak and float the river for hours without seeing another soul.
