A truly one-of-a-kind Hill Country retreat in Canyon Lake, this thoughtfully updated 2-bedroom, 2-bath home offers 1,715 square feet on an oversized .44-acre corner lot filled with mature trees and distinctive outdoor spaces. The backyard is a private oasis featuring lush landscaping, a custom waterfall and grotto, sprinkler system, and plenty of room to relax or entertain.

The centerpiece of the property is the remarkable two-story palapa with the potential to add a third level, nestled among the treetops. Constructed with beams sourced from the historic Bastrop area, this unique outdoor retreat features electricity, cold water plumbing, a half bath, and elevated spaces for enjoying the Hill Country breeze, beautiful sunrises, and spectacular sunsets.

Inside, the home was remodeled down to the studs and features double-pane windows, updated insulation, luxury vinyl flooring, a spacious kitchen with hand-hammered copper cabinet insets and custom backsplash, and a primary suite with French doors overlooking the backyard and a generous tiled shower.

Major improvements include a commercial-grade standing seam metal roof, updated electrical and breaker boxes, PEX water lines, PVC plumbing, water heater, reverse osmosis drinking water system, and recent electrical service upgrades. A private well with water softener and UV filtration provides the home’s water supply.

The property also offers a large two-car garage and workshop with abundant storage, plus an additional approximately 200-square-foot insulated, heated and air-conditioned garage/multipurpose space with a functional garage door. RV and boat parking, a storage building, and a classic brick barbecue pit add even more versatility.

With no HOA and an exceptional combination of character, functionality, and outdoor living, 1746 Cattail is anything but ordinary.
