Menger Springs Estates

The Life…

Peaceful. Serene. Beyond the hustle and congestion of San Antonio yet only minutes away lies Menger Springs. A secluded acreage neighborhood nestled on the edge of Boerne, Menger Springs is inspired by the town’s historic heritage and created by time-tested characteristics of a simple era, a time when people sat on their porches, neighbors gathered for picnics and special events, and home was something that lasted for generations.

The Location…

At Menger Springs, you’ll find the feeling of community, custom homes built in classic architectural styles, acreage home sites crafted with the natural beauty of the land and the quality of a master planned neighborhood with gated access, curbs and streetlights. All this set in the gorgeous Texas Hill Country, just a couple of minutes from downtown Boerne and 15 miles from the Hwy 1604 / IH 10 intersection in San Antonio. Located on the west side of IH 10 just east of Upper Balcones Road.

The Land…

Dramatic ridges offer spectacular views of the Hill Country with majestic oaks and elms all nestled into gentle valleys.

Menger Spring Estates, situated on a large plateau, is approximately 500 acres in size with home sites ranging from 1 to 5 acres in size. Each home site is gently sculpted to compliment the qualities of the land and its natural topography. The generously wide properties and expansive building set back requirements combine to provide ample room to nestle your new home. Fencing set backs act to create a wide uncluttered feel along the roadways and to maintain the spacious, peaceful feeling of the Texas Hill Country.

Homes, Architecture and Integrity…

The homes at Menger Springs Estates will seek to take on an architecture style reminiscent of historic neighborhoods such as Monte Vista, Terrell Hills and Alamo Heights in San Antonio or the historic downtown areas of Boerne and Fredericksburg, Texas. The understated elegance of these classic designs is found in Craftsman, German Traditional, Mission or Tuscan style homes. These distinctive architectural styles combined with quality construction and lasting materials help ensure that the neighborhood maintains a quality character.
