About This Home

This 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom single family at 1540 Ponderosa Drive in New Braunfels, TX is listed for $725,000 ($562 per sqft). Built in 1981, the home offers 1,291 sqft of living space on a 0.25 acres lot.

Agent Description

Welcome to Ponderosa Paradise, a riverfront retreat tucked beneath the shade of ancient cypress and pecan trees along the Guadalupe River. This home is situated on a quiet stretch of the Guad (i.e. NOT the Horseshoe), perfect for kayaking, tubing, or wade fishing.

This two-bedroom, two-bath home offers an open-concept floorplan with abundant natural light flowing in from walls of windows and doors across the back of the home. Recent updates include kitchen & bathroom remodels, new windows & doors in 2025, exterior paint 2025, HVAC 2025, and vinyl plank flooring throughout.

The spacious primary suite features plenty of room for a king bed + sleeper sofa, and private ensuite bath with a walk-in shower, while the second bedroom offers a comfortable queen bed with easy access to the full hallway bath. Stainless appliances in kitchen, and washer & dryer in utility room.

Home can be sold fully furnished if Buyer desires. Step out back and discover multiple deck spaces designed for easy, laid-back outdoor living. The covered upper deck is perfect for sipping coffee at sunrise or enjoying a glass of wine or a beer in the evening.

Just below, a second deck sits beneath the trees, offering a peaceful, breezy spot to relax. The waterside deck brings you right to the edge of the Guadalupe, and a stone path leads down to the riverbank. From here, you can wade into the cool, clear water-or cast a line into one of the best trout fisheries in Texas.

The Guadalupe is stocked with rainbow and brown trout each winter by Texas Parks & Wildlife, making it a favorite for anglers from November through May. Whether you're fly fishing at sunrise or simply soaking in the views, this is a riverfront experience you won't forget. Whitewater Amphitheater is only 10 minutes away, or cruise down dreamy River Road to Gruene & New Braunfels, only 20 minutes south.
