171 Scenic Bluffs, Boerne, TX 78006

Designed by the homeowner and custom-built in 2005, this Modern Industrial Hill Country retreat was mixing raw elements with warm, textural layers long before it became a trend. Set on 4.54 private acres at the end of a cul-de-sac within the gated community of Coveney Ranch, the unobstructed views stretch for miles across the Texas Hill Country.

The exterior sets the tone: Hill Country stone, stucco, and vertical metal siding come together under a standing-seam metal roof, a preview of the layered materials waiting inside. The primary suite and bath are on the main level, along with a dedicated office, formal dining, and a half bath.

Upstairs, a secondary primary offers guests their own private space, with two additional bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath. A loft area adds flexible living space, and the staircase itself earns a second look as a standalone architectural statement.

Exterior doors on the upper level open to the outdoors, pulling those sweeping Hill Country views in from every angle. The office pulls double duty without sacrificing style. Built-ins line the walls, and a hidden desk area keeps the work out of sight and out of mind when the room needs to be something else.

Inside, the architecture does the talking. Chicago brick accents run throughout the home, grounding the modern touches. Two custom metal fireplaces serve as the heart of the main living spaces, including a dramatic two-sided piece shared between the dining room and office.

Stainless steel countertops carry an industrial thread into the kitchen - another layer of raw materials woven throughout the home. Views that remind you why people fall in love with the Hill Country in the first place, and a location that makes it easy to stay.

Coveney Ranch sits between Boerne and Bergheim, offering the seclusion of a gated community with real-world convenience just down the road. Nine miles to Boerne's Main Street, 20 to La Cantera, 31 to San Antonio International Airport, and zoned for the highly acclaimed Boerne ISD.
