About this property

Historic 1906, 15 acre Ranch with pool 20 minutes from SeaWorld

Welcome to Cardinal Pointe Station Ranch, our recently remodeled ranch home and a truly unique historical gem with a story that stretches back to the late 1800s. Nestled on this property is a remarkable Historical Marker commemorating its role as a crucial stop on the stagecoach line heading west during that era. The original Wurzbach family ranch house, now the Main House in this listing, has been thoughtfully preserved and updated, offering guests a rare chance to enjoy modern comforts while staying in a place deeply rooted in Texas history.

Historical Marker and Ranch History

As you explore the property, take a moment to appreciate the Historical Marker that stands as a testament to the rich heritage of this land. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, this ranch served as an important waypoint for pioneers and travelers heading west along the stagecoach route. Today, that legacy still shapes the character of the property. The original Wurzbach ranch house remains at the heart of the experience, blending historical charm with the comfort and convenience today’s guests appreciate.

Living Area

Inside, the Main House welcomes you with a spacious and inviting living area centered around a beautiful fireplace. A large dining table seating up to 10 makes this a natural gathering place for meals, conversation, games, and quiet evenings together. Whether you are reconnecting with family, hosting a retreat, or simply enjoying a slower pace, this room was made for gathering.

Kitchen

The kitchen is fully equipped and designed to serve groups well. Whether you are preparing a family breakfast, a holiday meal, or a simple dinner after a long day in San Antonio, you’ll find the tools, cookware, and space you need to cook comfortably and enjoy your time together.

Bedroom Setup

The Main House includes comfortable and flexible sleeping arrangements for groups and families. The Master Suite features a luxurious King bed, while the additional bedrooms are furnished with inviting Queen beds. The house also includes additional pull-out beds, and cots are available if needed for extra flexibility. For larger groups, additional private rooms in nearby units on the ranch may also be available. The booking automatically allocates rooms based on double occupancy, so if you book for 20 guests, you will be allocated 10 private bedrooms.

Bathrooms

The Main House includes 3.5 bathrooms, giving guests plenty of space to get ready and settle in. Several of the bathrooms feature double sinks and roomy layouts, making the house especially convenient for families, wedding parties, retreats, and other group stays.

Scenic Views and Outdoor Setting

The ranch home sits next to the pool and enjoys beautiful views of the surrounding countryside. It is an ideal setting to relax, breathe deeply, and enjoy the natural beauty of the property. Guests love the peaceful ranch feel and the sense of being away from it all while still being close to San Antonio.

Pool Access

Guests have access to the pool and the main outdoor area, which are reserved for the booking guest’s group during the stay. This gives your group a private place to relax, swim, visit, and enjoy the property together.

Property Owners

Please note that this is a working ranch, and the owner’s family lives in separate housing toward the back of the property. You may occasionally see them around the ranch, but the guest areas, including the Main House, pool, and primary outdoor spaces, are intended for your group’s private enjoyment during your stay.

Capacity and Group Stays

This property is especially well suited for larger families and groups. The Main House serves as the base of every booking and includes 5 private bedrooms. Additional rooms in nearby units on the ranch will be allocated depending on your group size and needs. In total, the ranch can sleep over 20 guests comfortably, with room for approximately 26 guests in beds when the full property is utilized with double occupancy.

For those looking to celebrate special occasions such as weddings, receptions, reunions, church gatherings, birthday celebrations, or retreats, we also offer event hosting with prior approval and additional event fees. Event activities are generally outdoor-focused, and we are happy to discuss both overnight lodging and day-use guest counts as part of the planning process.

San Antonio Area Attractions

In addition to the history and amenities of the ranch itself, there is a wide range of activities nearby in the San Antonio area. Guests enjoy visiting attractions such as SeaWorld, the iconic River Walk, and the many local restaurants, shops, and entertainment options the city has to offer. Your stay here offers a unique blend of history, comfort, ranch atmosphere, and convenient access to the city.

We look forward to welcoming you to Cardinal Pointe Station Ranch: a place where Texas history, open space, and meaningful gatherings come together.

Dear Future Guests,

Allow us to introduce ourselves… we're Monica and Walt, a couple with an insatiable passion for travel and adventure. Our journey has taken us to one of the most remote parts of Africa, where we spent nearly two decades, residing in Northern Kenya adjacent to the awe-inspiring Chalbi Desert and immersing ourselves in the rich culture of the Semi-nomadic Samburu tribe.

After seeing our kids off to universities in the United States, we decided to return to our home country and embark on a new chapter in our lives. While our wanderlust remains, we've now found a sense of contentment in hosting travelers from all corners of the globe on our cherished ranch.

We invite you to become part of our story, experience the warmth of our hospitality, and discover the beauty of our surroundings. Whether you're a seasoned traveler or setting out on your very first adventure, you are more than welcome to join us here. Our home is now your home.

It is our passion to help you create wonderful memories during your stay.

Warmest Regards,
Monica and Walt
