​Homes and Estates Fit For Fiesta Royalty

San Antonio is not Monaco and certainly not jolly old London and that is just fine with us. While those cosmopolitan cities have their monarchies and royal families, we have our own, thank you very much. From King Antonio to our ugly king, El Rey Feo and all the beautiful queens of Fiesta’s royalty, the Alamo City reveres our own esteemed, crowned sovereigns.

As a city with royalty we’ve got homes and estates to match. We’ve gathered luxurious, current offerings that afford the royal lifestyle of opulence and grandeur, Texas-style.

28833 RALPH FAIR ROAD  |  $2,395,000

Portfolio agent, Robin Saunders’ offering at 28833 Ralph Fair Road is set on over 14 majestic acres in the beautiful hill country with views that stretch on forever. “There is nothing else this fabulous that is close to IH10 on such large acreage with privacy in Boerne ISD,” says Saunders. Indeed, the stunning home and breathtaking setting are truly special.

As the largest home in Fair Oaks with over 8,500 square feet, every member of the family will feel like royalty with all of the 5 bedrooms having en suite baths and expansive walk-in closets. The master suite has its own fireplace, huge closet, a beautiful spa bath and dressing area. There’s an additional 7 ½ baths and when one study just won’t do, this home provides two. There’s also a sport court for versatility and fun.

The negative-edge pool with its vista view visible from the glass ensconced loggia and wrap around floor plan is a crown jewel to the home’s overall affect, “It feels like a luxury retreat, with enormous space to entertain.” Enjoyable for family and friends, there’s a wine room and an entertainer’s dream kitchen. “The gourmet kitchen has everything needed for cooking for a crowd, with premium appliances.” There’s double dishwashers, a gas Wolf range, warming drawers and a Sub-Zero refrigerator, but the real finesse are the cast stone fireplaces and custom cabinetry.

“This home inspires luxury living at its finest! Perfect for a large family, and plenty of room for horses!,” says Saunders. In royal fashion, it could even accommodate a polo field!

The drive up is exquisite, winding over a lake system full of koi ponds, waterfalls, and fountains,” says Janes. “It’s a hill country Tuscan palace! Gustavo Arredondo designed it with turrets and towers; very Mediterranean.”

The flagstone courtyard leading to the home’s entrance includes a fireplace, herb garden and space ideal for beverage service. Once you step inside you are greeted with seamless glass views of the multi-tiered pools, waterfalls and lighted trees. “It’s totally parked out,” Janes says of the fully fenced and cross-fenced 86-acre lot that has an agricultural exemption.

Once on the grounds, you follow the paved road winding past the 3,000 square foot, 3 bedroom, 2 bath, barndominium guest house finally arriving at the impressive stucco, tile-roofed main house.

There is even a swim up bar at the luxurious two-tiered pool surrounded by lush tropical landscape and panoramic views. The wine room accommodates over 200 bottles for the wine connoisseur.

While there’s much to relish about this magnificent home, Janes calls out a few special details, “The lighting in the master suite is warm and romantic, just exceptional. The estate sits on one level, not a single step up which is really nice, and for the collector the car garage accommodates 18 vehicles.” Perhaps one of the most unique is the menagerie of hand-fed domesticated exotics. Combined, it’s a one-of-a-kind stellar offering, “It’s perfect for an amazing entertainment lifestyle or as a family compound.”
