About this property

Historic 1906, 15 acre Ranch with pool 20 minutes from SeaWorld

Welcome to our recently remodeled ranch home, a unique historical gem with a story that stretches back to the late 1800s. Nestled on this property is a remarkable Historical Marker commemorating its role as a crucial stop on the stagecoach line heading West during that era. The original Ranch house, built by the Wurzbach family, is now the main house in this listing, steeped in history and charm.

**Historical Marker and Ranch History:** As you explore the property, take a moment to appreciate the Historical Marker that stands as a testament to the rich history of this ranch. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, this very land served as a vital waypoint for pioneers heading westward on the stagecoach line. The original Wurzbach family Ranch house has been meticulously preserved and renovated, providing you with a unique opportunity to step back in time while enjoying modern comforts.

**Living Area:** Stepping inside, you'll be captivated by the grandeur of the living area, complete with a magnificent fireplace and a spacious dining table accommodating up to 10 people. This space is designed for gatherings, relaxation, and even storytelling about the ranch's rich past.

**Kitchen:** Our well-designed kitchen is a chef's delight, fully equipped to meet the needs of culinary enthusiasts. Whether you're planning a family feast or an intimate meal, you'll find all the tools and amenities required to prepare delicious dishes.

**Bedroom Setup:** The Master suite boasts a regal King-size bed, ensuring a luxurious night's rest. The other bedrooms are equally inviting, each furnished with cozy Queen-size beds. Additional cots are available for accommodating extra guests, ensuring everyone has a comfortable place to lay their head.

**Bathrooms:** Three of the bathrooms feature double sinks and ample space for changing, promising convenience and comfort for our guests.

**Scenic Views:** The ranch home is perfectly positioned next to the pool, offering breathtaking vistas of the surrounding countryside. It's an ideal spot to relax, unwind, and soak in the natural beauty of the area, while also reminiscing about the history that unfolded here.

**Pool Access:** Guests enjoy not only stunning views but also direct access to the pool. While it's often possible to have the pool all to yourself, it's worth noting that, occasionally, you may share the pool area with other guests. This shared space creates opportunities for friendly interactions and shared experiences.

**Property Owners:** Keep in mind that this is a working ranch, and the owner's family resides in a house situated at the back of the property. You might come across them while enjoying the outdoor spaces, and they are always happy to share stories about the ranch's legacy.

**Capacity:** Our property comfortably accommodates up to 20 guests, making it an excellent choice for larger groups and families. For those looking to celebrate special occasions, such as weddings or other events, we offer a separate "event" booking option with additional fees. Feel free to inquire about event bookings, which may include both overnight stays and "event-only" guests.

In addition to the rich history and amenities offered on our ranch, there's a world of exciting activities waiting for you in the San Antonio area. Visit renowned attractions like Sea World and the iconic River Walk. Discover the vibrant local restaurant scene, offering a taste of Texas hospitality and flavors. Your stay here promises a unique blend of history, comfort, and adventure. We look forward to welcoming you to our exceptional property!

Family Reunion
Our family had a wonderful reunion at Cardinal Pointe Ranch. The 100 year old ranch house is beautiful and is filled with antiques and collectibles. It was very comfortable except for an issue with the upstairs A/C. However, this was fixed as quickly as possible. The property is beautiful, and we enjoyed it very much. The owners were responsive to questions and comments. Although the ranch is close to the city, it felt like we were out it the country. Lovely place! Thank you, Walter!

90th B-day Celebration
This property is exactly what we were looking for to host a special family gathering in San Antonio. The charm and uniqueness of the historic house is so much better than staying in hotel rooms and having the event in a conference center. The free range chickens, cows and especially Daisy and Gus (friendly cow dogs on property) made it feel warm and welcoming and especially fun for the kids. Also, the 1925 thrasher out in the pasture made my dad smile as it was much like what he remembered working with as a young boy on the farm.

Lack of privacy, rude, and overpriced !!!
When we arrived the owner came out and met us like we anticipated however he NEVER left, he was in/out of the house durng our stay. This was my daughters sweet 16 and he was disrupting the party as well as my guest. He even went as far as standing outside the gate of the property picking and choosing who could park ON the property and who had to HIKE it to the house! The kitchen had limited supplies to cook which confused me because I was clear we were hosting an event, he also came early the next morning before we checked out he began demanding an additional fundd stating he counted my guest and I had to pay per head because I went "over a certain limit" they didnt spend the night, they didnt stay past cerfew, they literally were just there for the festivities. Save your money OR go elsewhere if you want to ENJOY your stay.

Dear Future Guests,

Allow us to introduce ourselves – we're Monica and Walt, a couple with an insatiable passion for travel and adventure. Our journey has taken us to one of the most remote parts of Africa, where we spent nearly two decades, residing in Northern Kenya adjacent to the awe-inspiring Chalbi Desert and immersing ourselves in the rich culture of the Semi-nomadic Samburu tribe.

After seeing our kids off to universities in the United States, we decided to return to our home country and embark on a new chapter in our lives. While our wanderlust remains, we've now found a sense of contentment in hosting travelers from all corners of the globe on our cherished ranch.

We invite you to become part of our story, experience the warmth of our hospitality, and discover the beauty of our surroundings. Whether you're a seasoned traveler or setting out on your very first adventure, you are more than welcome to join us here. Our home is now your home.

It is our passion to help you create wonderful memories during your stay.

Warmest Regards,
Monica and Walt
