Dreaming of a Mystic Life?

Mystic Shores @ Canyon Lake

Featured by River Valley Real Estate

Mystic Shores is rich not only in its fertile river valley land, but with its heritage and ties to Texas history.  Remnants of earlier settlers can still be found today, from the old German school house, rock formations and Lipan Indian arrowheads discovered throughout Mystic Shores.  Anita Lindsey, daughter of the “711 Ranch” owners, the original name of Mystic Shores said, “that the land was meant to be lived on and loved”, and the current property owners and association are doing just that, making a place to fall in love with!

Historical information about Mystic Shores was found @ www.mysticshorespoa.com. Rieker, Paula (History of Mystic Shores at Canyon Lake) October 2015.

Just a quick drive up 281 North to Highway 306 you’ll find Mystic Shores in Spring Branch, TX. Charming towns like Gruene, Fredericksburg, Boerne and Luckenbach are all within a 45 minute proximity.

River Valley has eight gorgeous lots offering a variety to its buyers. Some have views of Canyon Lake and the 140 acre nature preserve, while others are interior lots closer to the exclusive and incredible amenities.  The larger lots are livestock approved adhering to what Mystic Shores was originally, a cattle ranch.

5 Places to Eat Like a San Antonio Native

I have lived in San Antonio all my life and watching this city grow over the past 20 years has been an incredible site to see. When moving here, people want to know what are my favorite eating “hot spots”.When it comes to places to eat there are so many to choose from, selections ranging from the chains that we all know to the more local taste. These are what I consider the top 5 places to dine in San Antonio.

Chris Madrid's - This hole in the wall offers, what I consider, the best burgers in town. Handmade over-sized patties with real cheese that is so good you have to cut away the cheese just to get the burger off the plate. So good! If you go, I recommend the macho cheddar cheesy, you won't regret it. Click here for more information.

Cappuccino’s – Offering a variety menu, this has been one of our favorite local posts to go for lunch or a light dinner.They offer a vast bar selection with a tasty menu of sandwiches, pizza, and really good desserts. It's located off Broadway, near central market. Click here for more information.

     Koi Kawa – This has been one of our favorite Sushi restaurants ever since they opened. Friends and I have always enjoyed dinning at a table or at their bar. Unlike the sushi chains, you get a more authentic sushi experience. You can watch them hand-make your roles or slice sushi. After trying almost the whole menu, I can say there is little that I do not like. Sushi lovers, this is a place to go. For more information on Koi Kawa, click on the following links to their Yelp and Facebook pages. Yelp  Facebook  

    
 Boudro's - Located on the river walk, my family and friends have been going here to enjoy a great dinner and the downtown scene as you dine alongside the river. A must have is their guacamole, which they hand make at your table. Click here for more information.

Arcade Midtown Kitchen – Located in the Pearl Brewery, this is one of the newest restaurants that has opened up. With a more modern menu, every experience I have had there has been great. I recommend the lobster soft taco. Pearl Brewery houses the Culinary Institute of America and as a result, a number of specialty restaurants have opened up. I recommend trying them all.
