A sprawling 72-acre property for sale in Boerne is like a private paradise: The Lazy River Ranch, located 280 miles south of Dallas at 227 Seewald Rd., is up for grabs at the modest price of $4.85 million.

The "game room" is a separate 400-square-foot building, but it can be turned into a detached office space.
The stunning property boasts extravagant amenities like a fully renovated 1,800-square-foot guest house with a two car garage, a driving range and multi-hole putting green, and an 18-acre fenced goat pasture. But the biggest highlight is (as the property's name implies) its own lazy river.
The "river" was custom designed by San Antonio contractors Keith Zars Pools and includes features you'd only expect to find at a luxurious resort: It's temperature controlled and fully lit, so guests can enjoy floating or swimming at any time of day, all year-round. In the center of the lazy river, connected by a custom built bridge, is a green space with a sunken patio area, fire pit, and a swim-up bar. A beautiful waterfall across from the swim-up bar adds to the relaxed tranquility of the area.

The property first hit the market in July 2022 for $7.35 million, but that was before the ranch owners – who wish to remain private – split up the property into separate allotments of 27 and 72 acres, according to Kris Forks of Kuper Sotheby's International Realty, who has the listing. The acreage changes resulted in price reductions to its current $4.85 million price, as of April 3.
Other extravagant features that have people talking include:
- A 5,000-square-foot renovated main house with Viking appliances
- Custom glass sunroom with sliding accordion doors
- Covered grilling gazebo area
- Keith Zars Pools custom built Junior Olympic pool
- A "rock beach" leading to the lazy river
- 1,400-square-foot, one bedroom one bathroom pool house equipped with a full kitchen, laundry room, and custom cabinetry
- Large garage building with extra storage rooms and a second story potential guest suite
- 400-square-foot custom-built "game room"
- A custom built shooting range with 30-, 50-, and 100-yard shooting decks
- A barn with concrete floors for hosting ATVs, a Polaris Ranger, or other "toys"
- A combination sport court
- Additional 44-acre pasture for livestock with more barns and storage buildings

The property earned a little social media fame after a spotlight on the Facebook page of Zillow Gone Wild which features over-the-top homes. Texas social media users were quick to help out-of-towners with their pronunciation of the ranch's address.
"Stopping in to inform that that town in pronounced 'bur-knee' because #texas in case anyone was wondering," said one Facebook commenter.
