Live in Gruene, not just near it. Welcome to Cotton Crossing, one of New Braunfels' most charming communities, tucked into the heart of the Gruene area and offering the kind of low-maintenance Hill Country lifestyle that's hard to duplicate. Cotton Crossing is known for its smaller, easy-to-maintain homesites, Texas-inspired architecture and proximity to the Gruene Historic District covering 15 walkable historic acres that are home to live music, locally owned shops, restaurants and the Guadalupe River. And now Cotton Crossing residents have another reason to love the location: exclusive HOA Guadalupe River park access, giving homeowners their own neighborhood connection to one of the defining features of New Braunfels living. The home itself offers a rare and incredibly flexible Cotton Crossing floor plan. All three bedrooms and two full bathrooms are conveniently located on the main level, while upstairs you'll find an oversized bedroom with its own dedicated full bathroom. Use it as a game room, multi-gen suite, media room, guest retreat, home office or bunk room when everyone comes to town for a Gruene weekend. The homesite is just as unusual for the neighborhood. A large fenced side patio and yard creates an inviting outdoor entertaining space, while a second large fenced backyard directly off the primary suite provides even more room to enjoy the outdoors. The garage is discreetly accessed from the rear driveway, helping preserve the welcoming streetscape Cotton Crossing is known for. Leave the car at home and take the golf cart into Gruene for dinner, shopping or live music at Gruene Hall, Texas' oldest continually operating dance hall. Spend an afternoon browsing the shops of the Gruene Historic District, grab dinner overlooking the Guadalupe at Gristmill River Restaurant & Bar, or simply enjoy living in one of New Braunfels' most recognizable destinations. Gruene is known for its combination of Texas history, live music, dining, shopping and recreation along the Guadalupe River. This is the kind of New Braunfels property that brings together things buyers often search for separately: a home in the Gruene area, Guadalupe River access, golf-cart access to Historic Gruene, a low-maintenance lot, main-level bedrooms, flexible guest space and private fenced outdoor living. From morning coffee to afternoons on the Guadalupe and nights listening to live music in Gruene, this isn't simply a house close to the fun. This is the perfect chance to make the Gruene lifestyle your everyday life.
