About this property
Large Luxury Blanco Riverfront Home with Pool
Large Luxury Home with Pool and on Blanco River! The Wimberley Retreat offers a unique experience with a 3400 sq ft/5 bed/5 bath house that sleeps 12 and sits on 10 private acres with direct access to 600 feet of deep river frontage on the Blanco River in the Texas Hill Country. The 40 foot long pool, spa and fire pit overlooking the river all create additional recreational activities and gathering spots for a family or friend get together.
I provide guests with all of details needed for check in along with a list of items provided at the house. Guests are not required to meet with anyone upon arrival, but rather will be given access codes to let themselves into the house.
We are out in the country, but only 15 minutes away from the Wimberley town square.
Guests have full access to the house and our 10 acres and 600 feet of Blanco Riverfront. There is only one house on the private property so you have the place to yourselves.
The Wimberley Retreat offers a unique experience with a custom built 5 bedroom/5 bath house with luxurious pool and spa that sits on 10 private acres with access to 600 feet of deep river frontage on the Blanco River. The house is a custom built stone and stucco home designed by Chagnon Architecture with 3400 square feet of living space and an additional 1500 square feet of covered porch for extended living space. Five bedrooms and 5 full baths allow for ultimate flexibility to cater to large families, reunions, girls weekends or just folks trying to escape to the Texas Hill Country.
Opposite the house and across the river is a cliff that overlooks the property and allows for ideal privacy and quiet. Few other homes are in sight, allowing the stars to shine bright at night. Escape the city pace and traffic for relaxation on the river or by the pool, with family or friends or co-workers. Have coffee on wraparound covered porch in the morning while a flock of wild turkeys roam the yard or several deer drink from the river. Enjoy an evening drink under the stars or next to the stone fireplace on the porch.
The river itself has something for all ages with shallow areas perfect for small children as well as several deep swimming areas of 4-5 feet in depth. We are lucky to be located on a part of the Blanco that has deep water even in extended drought periods. The private grassy ten acres of The Wimberley Retreat provide more than enough room for everyone to run, play, throw a ball or frisbee, have a kickball game, or just explore the wonders of nature: birds, fish, turtles, frogs, lizards, butterflies, and wildflowers. Some fishing and butterfly nets are provided. Feel free to bring your fishing poles, river shoes, kayaks and canoes.
The pavilion area is situated about 50 yards from the house and provides additional gathering space and activities for the group. It has additional dining and seating space overlooking the Blanco River below, a fire pit for night time s'mores creations and an adjustable Goalrilla basketball goal for pick up basketball games.
The Wimberley Retreat house is perfect for large gatherings. The great room, with cypress wood accent wall and several huge windows facing the pool and bluff, has a 65" flat screen TV with Sonos sound system and is open to the kitchen and dining area seating 12. The outdoor covered porch has a dining table for 8, a breakfast table for 4 as well as several lounging areas and built in sound system. The kitchen is equipped with all appliances, extensive food and drink preparation and serving ware, and indoor/outdoor dishes to accommodate any large meal. Each of the 4 large private bedrooms have attached full bathrooms. The 5th bedroom is also what we call the Bonus Room and includes a cypress wood accent wall, 55" flat screen TV and cypress wood barn doors that can be locked for privacy. An additional full bath with walk in shower is just outside the Bonus Room. The Bonus Room also can provide additional gathering space and has toys and games for both kids and adults alike. Use the queen sized sleeper sofa in the Bonus Room for additional sleeping space. There are 3 king beds, 2 queen beds and 2 twin beds in total, along with the queen sleeper sofa in the Bonus Room/5th bedroom. Movies, books, coloring books, puzzles, and games for all ages are in the Bonus Room closet, along with a cable TV and music system. Whether you are planning a mini-reunion, ladies getaway trip, couples gathering, team-building session for a small group, multi-generation family gathering, shopping or winery tour, or celebrating a special birthday or milestone, the Wimberley Retreat provides all of the privacy, space, and amenities your group will need.

Unbelievable experience. The house was clean and beautiful. The natural landscape was surreal. We look forward to our next booking with you. Thank you.
The retreat was a perfect stay for our friends and family. The location was beautiful and the setup of the house was perfect for our group. We enjoyed it immensely and look forward to coming again!
We had such a nice time. It rained the most of the week but we were very comfortable in the house. It’s super clean and has all of the amenities you could want. Robert was very easy to get ahold of and very helpful. We were very pleased!
This is our second time to stay here and we love it. Great property and well stocked home. Kids enjoyed the river, basketball court, hot tub, and relaxing on the beautiful patio.
One of the most cherished annual trip. Absolutely gorgeous property with beautiful views.Close enough to the town but far enough to enjoy ourselves with safety and privacy!
We loved the house. Access to the river, the pool, and the pavilion provided many entertainment opportunities. The house had all the supplies needed to make the trip easy. Other than food, we didn't need to bring anything. The host was communicative and available to address any issues (we didn't have any). I would highly recommend, and we will be returning in the future.
We had the best family get together at this Wimberley home. The 5 bedrooms were perfect. We cooked most of our meals, and we had everything we needed in this well stocked kitchen. We enjoyed relaxing in and around the pool. There had been rain so that we could not explore the river as it was a little high, but we did play games on the basketball court. We will definitely rent this home again.

We had the best time!
Everything about the house and the property was exactly how it was advertised. We loved swimming in the river, playing in the pool, and enjoying every part of the house. We had an amazing time and wish we could have stayed longer! We will definitely be coming back

About the host
Hosted by Roby Norvell
The Norvell family hails from Houston, TX where we, like most Americans, lead over-booked lives full of schoolwork, school activities, sports, civic, and work responsibilities. We have owned another property in Wimberley since 2008 and have come to love the area. Our kids are young and our parents and family do not live nearby. We wanted a place for our extended family to get together to run, swim, climb, explore, spend time as a family, and just enjoy the beauty of nature. We wanted to add another property to enjoy with family and provide a vacation retreat for families or friends looking to escape to the Hill Country. We hope your family enjoys our Wimberley Retreat as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
We searched for 2 years+ to find an ideal home located on a deep and easily accessible section of the Blanco River. We decided on this retreat when we found the perfect combination of easily accessible deep and shallow water to provide river entertainment for all ages. The house is also ideal with huge windows facing the pool and river area beyond and the 4 bedrooms each with their own bathroom which provides everyone with the privacy they need.
What makes this property unique
Designing and building a new home allowed for us to build in a number of conveniences with guests in mind. Flexible common room to allow guests to mix and mingle as they see fit or to retreat into their own space for privacy. The great room and the wrap around porch provide stunning views of the pool and bluff along the river and allow a seamless tie with the outdoors.
