16227 San Cayetano

Hidden behind the gates of the prestigious Retablo Ranch community, this remarkable 8.26-acre Hill Country estate offers the rare opportunity to experience true privacy, space, and luxury living just minutes from San Antonio. Designed and built by respected custom builder J. Long, the nearly 5,600-square-foot residence blends timeless Hill Country architecture with expansive interiors that feel both impressive and welcoming. From the moment you pass through the neighborhood gates and continue through a second private entrance leading into the estate itself, mature trees and sweeping countryside views create an immediate sense of calm and seclusion, setting the tone for a home designed around comfort, entertaining, and everyday enjoyment. Inside, soaring ceilings and multiple living areas provide space to gather and unwind, while the chef's kitchen features custom cabinetry, granite countertops, gas cooking, double ovens, and an oversized island naturally becomes the heart of the home. The private primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a sitting area, spa-inspired bath, and direct outdoor access, allowing you to step outside and take in the quiet beauty of the surrounding landscape. Upstairs and throughout the home, additional bedrooms, a game room, and flexible living spaces provide room for family, guests, and hobbies alike. Outdoors, the property transforms into a true Hill Country escape with a pool and spa, covered patios, outdoor kitchen, and expansive views that make sunset evenings and weekend gatherings unforgettable. The estate also benefits from Tesla solar panels already installed, providing enhanced energy efficiency. The acreage offers exceptional versatility with room for recreation, horses, or future expansion, while the large workshop, RV or boat storage, and extensive garage space make the estate equally functional for those who value both luxury and practicality. Properties offering this level of privacy, land, and custom quality within a gated community so close to San Antonio are exceptionally rare, making 16227 San Cayetano a unique opportunity to own a true Hill Country retreat.
