Waterfront Luxury Home on 5 Acres. Sleeps 22. Beds: 5 king, 4 queen, 4 twin XL

JB2 River Ranch is a comfortable and luxurious space for your next family reunion, multi-family vacation, or corporate retreat, with a full remodel completed in June 2022. We have over 250 ft of riverfront on Lake McQueeney with a wide, multi-level dock for lakeside fun. JB2 is close to all the restaurants, bars, and activities of New Braunfels, Historic Gruene, and Seguin while enjoying the tranquility and openness of a rural getaway.

The Main House features a gourmet kitchen, 3 dining areas, 2 living areas, 5 bedrooms, and 4 bathrooms. The courtyard layout includes a Casita, with separate entrances, an additional kitchenette, 2 bedrooms, and 1 bathroom. With ample outdoor seating over multiple levels, everyone in your group will be able to enjoy the 180-degree water views.

Our home sits on 5 private acres, about 1/2 mile from the main road. Find your peace away from the hustle and bustle of the city: take a dip or float in the river, fish for catfish and bass from our dock, watch the herds of whitetail deer, listen to the birds chirping, or take in the majestic sunsets over the water.

The house is located above the 500 year flood plain, approximately 40 feet above the water and lower dock.

We still have water in our part of Lake McQueeney! As of Summer 2025, the water level around our outer dock is still 3-4 feet deep, and over 8 feet deep in the center of the river off our dock. Floating, fishing, kayaking, paddleboards, etc. are all still good where our house is located on the river, just no power boats.

Regarding the Lake McQueeney dam repair work, our house is approximately 4 miles upriver from the dam, and has had only a minimal 1-1.5 foot water level decrease since the start of the work.

We still have regularly flowing water from the small hydroelectric dam a few hundred yards upstream of us.
*** Please note: Our home is located in a rural area. You may encounter a variety of wildlife on the property, including deer, insects, fire ants, mice, spiders, birds, snakes, raccoons, lizards, etc. We do our best to prevent pests inside the house, but you may still encounter them.

Main areas of the property for your use are:
- The main house (the 'Casita' is part of the same main house and garage structure, with an arched walkway from the front yard through to the back courtyard)
- The dock and yards
- The covered picnic porch, tables, and gas grill by our barn (not inside the barn itself)

*** We do not provide outdoor towels or blankets for the dock and lake. Please use our bath and hand towels inside only.
