1554 Gruene Road
Gruene, TX
Brief Narrative:
After the property was acquired from the previous owner,
efforts were initiated toward moving the old family residence.
However, the professional house mover began talking about
the necessity of cutting tree limbs along Gruene Road. We
would not be party to proposing the cutting of trees along
Gruene Road or altering the beauty of the area, therefore
we did not attempt to move it. The house had been built
in the early 1960’s and needed substantial repairs
and renovations to be restored to a suitable condition.
Consequently, the house and the out buildings were razed.
Prior to demolition, the water well was treated and upon
receiving a satisfactory report from the NBU water-testing
laboratory, the power service to the property was disconnected
and the meter removed.
The septic tank was pumped out and the effluent removed
by a licensed professional service. The septic tank and
the field lines were removed and disposed of. The backfill
was with clean soil from the site.
The water well is reported to be 100 feet deep and is in
a gravel bed. (Not in an aquifer) It has been the sole source
of domestic water for the previous residents from its inception.
Currently, the water is adequate and on 6-29-05 was deemed
safe for consumption by NBU water laboratory. There is a
residential submersible water pump in the well at this time.
It is conceivable that the well could be used for irrigation
of landscape and as a source of water for wildlife, small
fishpond or similar uses. However, one should incorporate
the details of such use in any plans for presentation for
permitting and any zoning alteration requests.
There is an NBU sanitary sewer line and an NBU 12”
water line in Gruene Road right-of-way.
The current zoning designation of this tract of land is
‘R-2’. The R-2 designation indicates that it
was so designated by the New Braunfels zoning ordinance
in the original zoning ordinance and that no application
for any change has been made since then, or the newer comparable
designation of ‘R2L’ would have been assigned
to it. Future uses of this property other than 2-family
(or single-family) residential could be quite varied. The
most uneventful future use, from a zoning change perspective,
would obviously be single or 2-family use as this would
simply be a continued use within its current zoning designation.
The current owners have a strong positive feeling for the
ambiance that is Gruene, Texas. To that end, deed restrictions
may be imposed concerning protecting the natural beauty
of the property, especially regarding the beautiful large
live oak trees and the natural terrain at the Gruene Road
frontage part of the property. A nature trail including
a rest area, even without the cedar trees will likely be
addressed.
Possible future uses, other than single and/or 2-family
residential include the following:
R3L - apartment/condominium
C1A – neighborhood business district
C1B – general business including hotel/motel
C4B – resort facilities (non river frontage) if
the 10-acre minimum could be waived
Other zoning classifications may also be practical.
In the interest of fair dealing and in accordance
with the spirit of the rules of the TREC, be it acknowledged
by the parties hereto that the owner is a licensed real
estate broker in Texas.
Suggested Sales Price is $4.50 per sq. ft.
