About this Property
A rare opportunity in Grey Forest, this charming home sits on over 2 acres and is being offered for the first time since the land was acquired by the owner's family in the 1960s. Nestled along Helotes Creek, the property boasts more than 500 feet of creek frontage on one side and an additional 200 feet on both sides, creating a serene, park-like setting. Originally established as a summer resort in the 1920s, Grey Forest is beloved for its natural beauty, winding roads, and mature oak trees, offering small-town charm just northwest of San Antonio with easy access to city conveniences. Built in the 1960s and expanded in the 1980s, the home has seen continued thoughtful improvements during its time on the market, including updated sheetrock, fresh paint, lighting, and flooring. The spacious primary suite features a large walk-in closet, private deck access, and walk-in attic storage, while the renovated en suite showcases a walk-in shower, granite double vanity, and cedar walls crafted from on-site trees. Multiple outbuildings add flexibility, an office with A/C and power, a large utility room, a former horse stall with chicken coop and tack room, and a canning house, along with expansive outdoor living spaces including a covered front porch, dining deck, scenic creekside areas, and a historic dam. This one-of-a-kind property is a true retreat where nature, history, and community come together.
