Less then a mile from Utopia, TX, the home originally built in 1870 by John Crane Ware (Son of Capt. William Ware, the first Anglo Settler in the canyon). The home has been maintained and passed down to family since 1852. We love and adore this home and property and love sharing it with people! This Gorgeous home accompanied with the property and private access to the Sabinal River makes for a perfect place to spend time with Family and Friends for Reunions and Retreats! The Spring Fed Sabinal River runs Filled with Bass and Catfish lined with Huge Cypress Trees along the rivers banks making it a picture perfect place to Swim and swing into the river off of the Tree Swing! With Picnic Tables, BBQ grill, Camp fire pit, and Massive Cypress trees along the river its easy to Escape the hustle and bustle of the city! There is an abundance of wildlife to include Axis Deer, White tail Deer, and Turkey that actively hang out on the property. Water and a 30 Amp Hookup make it possible to bring your RV or Trailer and hook up near the House. (No Dump Station) We look forward to sharing our own piece of Paradise in Utopia with you soon!

Great getaway spot
The home was very beautiful and very big. It felt very homey on the inside, while feeling very secluded and peaceful on the outside. Just a 5 min walk to a lovely little river with a BBQ station. Not to mention it's only about a 20 minute drive to Lost Maples National Park. Would recommend.

Country Stay
Our group really enjoyed the swimming hole. The house was lovely. The corn field in front of the house was a highlight where we took some really cool pictures. We had a nice fire in the evening, had the pleasure of fireflies all around the house. The river was not far so we would walk the road and enjoy looking at all the plants and flowers. We had a great time!! Thank you for sharing.
