About Danielle Woods
The Woods family welcomes you!
Danielle Woods purchased this House in 2013
Why Danielle Woods chose Utopia
This property is filled with history. During WWII, this home was an Officer's Barracks at Hondo Air Base in Hondo, Texas. It was moved to Utopia by it's only previous owner, the Amann family. Mr. & Mrs. Amann lived in this home from 1942 until they passed. They raised their family in Utopia. Mr. Amann was the Utopia ISD Ag teacher for nearly 40 years amongst other community endeavors. You can read more about this awesome family, and other Sabinal Canyon notables, in the home. We have always loved this beautiful home and admired the time and effort the Amann's put into the home. It was in exceptional shape when we purchased it and is cozy and charming. We are very excited to be a part of the continuing history of this home.
What makes this House unique
This home is conveniently located 2 blocks off of Main Street in town. It has a covered carport for parking. Additional Parking on street in front of home. No Parking in the Grass at any time. There is a handmade bench on the front porch to enjoy those long summer evenings, along with a table and chairs in the back yard. . Lush carpet grass is perfect for kiddos under supervision as there are no fences.

Very peaceful
Very beautiful....open land and so tranquil.
Charming and cozy house and location
A charming mix of original and restored. Non working fireplace. Bring paper & pen for games. Nice split bedroom plan. Excellent heat and insulation during winter. Selected house based on size.
Thanks Tracy. Enjoyed your group and welcome back anytime. The house was built originally in the 1940s, so we do not allow use of the fireplace. Should have been mentioned several times in the site, but I will check again to make sure it's not as easy to overlook. Appreciate all of your feedback. Thanks again.
Utopia stay
The house was cute sleeps 6 comfortably not really more than that for adults anyway ... the parking was a little difficult there’s no curb to the yard so unless your told about other parking your pretty much parking in the road which road is pretty narrow ... other than that it was nice for last minute arrangements
Comfortable in Utopia
This home was just perfect for my family. Not particularly fancy but well kept, roomy, and comfortable enough for a decent sized group. Owner makes the stay effortless. Provides everything you would need from bedding to hand soap to pots, pans, utensils and even some board games and dvds. We chose the home for the amenities listed and were not dissapointed. Treated ourselves to pie at the cafe after a day trip to Garner and it was delicious. Book this home. We definitely will on our next trip to the area.
Summer vacation
Good property, however there's no cable to watch TV. Quiet neighborhood
