Property Description

A true one-in-a-million offering, this extraordinary estate is a living piece of New Braunfels history, set within one of the city’s most exclusive and sought-after neighborhoods—Landa Park Estates. Designed in 1936 by renowned architect E.B. Flowers and master craftsman Guenther Hoverstadt, this residence stands as a testament to a time when homes were built with intention, artistry, and permanence. Positioned on the largest lot in the neighborhood and zoned R-2, the property offers an exceptionally rare combination of historic significance and endless future possibilities. Whether lovingly restored to its original grandeur or reimagined into a custom legacy estate, the canvas here is unmatched. Inside, the home reveals a series of breathtaking spaces, each rich with story and soul. Handcrafted herringbone parquet floors, soaring ceilings, and walls of sun-filled windows frame exquisite natural woodwork and architectural details rarely seen today. Lighting installations by famed artists Isaac Maxwell and Martha Mood elevate each room into its own curated experience—warm, artistic, and quietly magnificent. A dramatic spiral staircase anchors the home, while the split-level primary suite offers a serene retreat nestled among the treetops, evoking the feeling of a refined treehouse sanctuary. Original shutters, built-in storage recesses, custom built-ins, and cedar walk-in closets further reflect the thoughtful craftsmanship of a bygone era. This is not simply a home—it is a legacy property. A rare opportunity to own, preserve, or re-envision one of New Braunfels’ most remarkable estates, in a location that will forever remain timeless.
