Vintage Oaks, New Braunfels: Community and Home Tour

If you're thinking about moving to San Antonio, [music] Texas, and you want luxury acreage right there, just minutes away from one of the most desirable downtowns in all of Texas Hill Country, guys, you're not going to want to miss a single minute of this video. And look, guys, we're not talking about a single home. We're talking about an entire [music] master plan community that has endless views just out in Texas Hill Country just like this. So, not only are we going to tour this magnificent home here in Vintage Oaks, we're going to talk [music] about everything that this community has to offer from everything from its fitness center to its four pools to the lazy river to the pickleball [music] courts, basketball court, endless walking trails, just really just everything that you can possibly imagine. So, let's go ahead [music] and get this tour on the road and let's get started. Hey guys, I'm out here at 1514 Bolognese out here in Vintage Oaks, which is right outside of New Braunfels.

Uh just really just minutes away from the west side just up Highway 46. Now guys, as we get started, first I want to say a big thank you to Charlotta Yearwood out at EXP Realtor who's actually the listing agent for this house. Uh I had to kind of call her and just beg her to me video because I just can't believe this one is still on the market. And you're about to see why. Because I mean, when you talk about Texas Hill Country, this is the reason why so many people move from like California, whether it's going to be like the San Diego area, Los Angeles area, or other areas in the country out here, just to get the scenery, the view, but also, I mean, it's going to be a completely different price point out here than what you're typically used for uh you used to out in other states. Now, guys, as we walk in, I mean, these are going to be custom homes.

the majority of these out here. We'll talk to rest about vintage oaks as well. But as we walk in, guys, I mean, these are straight heavy steel doors. Um, walking in, and I said these houses are going to be custom. And one thing I like when you walk in is just right off the bat is is just it just pops out to you. Uh, one, like I mean, you got engineered hardwood floors that are well taken care of, but also just the size of the living room.

uh it doesn't swallow up the entire house, but also you can expand it and it's plenty of room just right there around the fireplace. Like when you talk about family gatherings where people enjoy to be. Now, as you see, there's a kind of you got this separate you got a wider entryway. Uh just a little bit different way of doing it. And I absolutely love it with the steel doors and the uh different transoms up over top. But guys, also when you look around, it's going to flow right here into the dining area.

but also into the kitchen. Now, one thing I love about like like when you get into these custom homes, uh you're going to see a a completely different uh like styles of like whether it's going to be like the um the appliances or like the cabinetry, uh the way that they going to utilize the space. And that's what you're going to find right away in this kitchen. Now, this is going to be a 42-in stove. It's really an eight burner stove with a skillet. Um, Thermodor like when you talk about luxury appliances, uh, it's on the top of the list up there with Viking in those in different like uh it's even like a higher brand that like if you look at like some of the KitchenAid or the cafe uh which you do see in a lot of luxury homes too as well.

But you can see the cabinet space. Uh the amount of uh space that you have here on the countertop, but also over here just the wine cooler, microwave oven, but you also have the chef's double oven. And it's like it's I mean all usable space, plenty of storage that's going around. Now, we're not going to start that direction. We're going to get to that direction here in a minute. Where I really want to start off in this house as we're moving through the kitchen is going to be in the bedroom section.

Now, this is going to be a four bedroomedroom, two bath. Um, that's a laundry room right there right behind the kitchen. We'll talk about that here in a minute, but you're looking at just over 3,000 square ft. And the way this house is designed, there's it's really designed in where it has different sections and different wings. And we're going to hit this first wing first. So, this one has a half bath over here.

Uh, we got a room behind me that's could be utilized either as a flex room, but we'll talk about that. But as you can see, like the bedrooms here, you're going to have goodsiz bedroom. I mean, this is a full headboard, footboard, uh, queen-siz bed. But guys, I mean, look at the way they designed the closet space. This is not your typical, hey, let's hang somewhere and let's put some generic shelf. There's actually thought that's actually put in this house, like designing a closet space, a storage space, and the bedrooms.

Now, moving in. I said this is going to be a jack and jill. It's going to flow right into another bedroom, but a little bit differently. Uh, but with that, what I love about this is they created in such a way where you can have multi-generational living cuz you don't have like a step step over tub. You're going to have a walk-in shower, but on top of that, you got a bench a seat. And that's why it's like like when you look at like elderly coming in if you want your parents which I run into a lot of my clients do guys that gives you just like that accessibility like where they can walk into the shower and you don't have to worry about them making those big steps.

Now as you can see in the second bedroom plenty of closet space but also I mean look at the room in this bedroom too. Uh again, queen-size bed, guys. You're going to have end tables both sides, but just to kind of give you just the amount of room that you have, and you can adjust the bed how you'd want. You even have room for a seating area at one part of the bedroom, which is really, really nice. Now, with that, just kind of walking through the last space. This would kind of be the fourth bedroom, but guys, I don't necessarily I mean, you can use this as a bedroom very, very easy, but I mean, look at the way this house is designed.

And this is this is prime for an exercise room. Uh which I mean whether you cycle, you'd like to do yoga. I mean you got just a peek at the views. We're going to talk about that specific cassita here in a little bit. But also I mean look at what I mean look at what you're looking at back on just on the back porch uh just from your house. You're not being swallowed up by other neighbor.

You're getting swallowed up by Texas Hill Country and views. So, as you can see, like there's plenty of many of things that you can do with this room for an exercise room or utilize it as an office because you get plenty of daylight that's coming in. You don't have to be just in a dark room. So, I mean, you got plenty of options of how to utilize the space uh in this room. Now, guys, we're going to go over here to the secret passage. Uh I love this because the laundry room, we said the kitchen was right there.

You're going to have your laundry room. So, you're going to have cabinetry, washer and dryer, cabinetry, sink. But I absolutely love the idea of the folding table. I mean, just how annoying is that sometimes? It's like, okay, get the laundry out, put it in a basket, let me put it in my bedroom, and then your clothes just get stuck in your bedroom versus, hey, let's get it out. And I could pull them out of the dryer, fold them right there on the spot, be more efficient, and you don't have clothes laying all over the place.

Now, as we walk across, you can easily see the uh walk-in pantry. Plenty of storage space. It's not just right in front of you. It's over to the left and over to the right. So, you got ample amount of space as far as for like food, dry goods, um even a little bit of storage if you want to utilize it that way. Now, we're going to talk about this room here momentarily, but I want to go out to the garage first.

Uh cuz I really really like the layout of this garage. I mean, you're looking at it's a legit threec car garage, but one thing I love about what they did is they did the epoxy coating on the floor. Uh, so and really what that does, it helps protect your concrete out here. Uh, it also makes it look nice. But the way that they hung the racks that they have going out here. But guys, again, one of the things I always talk about, and this goes on used homes, too, is like just having the water softener, and it's already pre-installed that's in this house.

And AWS Alamo water softener. I deal with a lot of their companies, and they have some of the most premium water softener that's out there. Now, with that, I mean, you're going to have two uh 50-gallon water heaters, and even for a two-bedroom, that's that's I promise you that's going to be plenty plenty of water heaters as well. And guys, we're going to walk back in, and you're going to see a little mud area where if you like to come into the garage, you can throw your things. But also, guys, you have an area back here that you can utilize as a game room. Maybe you play guitar.

Uh you have a sound room. But guys, it's again, it's an extra space completely separated from the rest of the house. So if you're loud, if you have a lot of noise that's going on back here, you're essentially insulated from the other living spaces. So, as we continue to move through, we got the pantry. You got a little coffee bar setting there. Said this custom builder did not uh misuse any of the space that's out there.

Now guys, we're going to move back here. I'm going to take a little bit different trail because like I want y'all to see like we got the cassita that's out there. I'm going to save that one for last because you have to see the way that's set up because that ends up being just a completely um an additional room that's out there, not just a pool house. But before we get there, guys, I mean, look at the master bedroom. Look how it's like like the way they um arched it out to give plenty of seating room. These are full chairs out here.

You're going to get plenty of daylight. You got a king-size bed, the end tables, but guys, on top of that, I mean, they even put a fridge in here, just like you can see like the ample amount of options that you have going on this house. And it's absolutely stunning just to see all this. But when you come back here, check out this bathroom. This This is my dream bathroom. Not not my wife's, but my my dream bathroom.

And what it is, I mean, you got the tub that's right here in the front, but a walk-in, walk out shower. And guys, I mean, you're going to have two heads that are going to be back here. But also, ladies, how nice would it be if you didn't have to like get and I say this seriously with ladies, cuz it's it's it's the let's let's be real, men. I mean, ladies need their own space to get ready. It's very typically much easier for us. But you get your own space where you can do your makeup, your hair, get ready.

Maybe you're going to um maybe you're going out to the downtown to the bars, whatever that you're doing. But guys, I mean, even within the bathroom, as you can see, is like you got plenty of cabinet space, uh whether you're going to be at the seating area or at one of the vanities. But on top of that, when you walk back here, look at the closet. So, the closet is center fed. So, you got one area of the closet and you got another area. But guys and gals, I mean, look at the room that you have to be able to separate and actually organize your stuff uh with the shoes.

And you can see how big the closet is cuz you got your own dresser drawer that's back here. So, you don't have to waste space in the actual bedroom itself. So, like when I've seen u master bedrooms and everything, guys, this is definitely like the top of my list. And look, guys, I understand like like houses like this, this may not be the specific area that you're looking for. And that's fine because I work with numerous of people that try to like locate and find their exact spot of what their lifestyle and what their bid is. So guys, I mean, one, you can go down in the description below, schedule a Zoom call with me, and what we'll do, we'll sit down and we'll we'll eliminate a whole lot of areas, but we'll help like find your exact neighborhood.

Or guys, if you have a specific question, hit me up, shoot me a text. That is my telephone number. And look, guys, before we do go outside, I mean, we need to talk about vintage oaks cuz I I'm we're going to get to like some of the most beautiful things here. And then we're going to talk about what this price is and the special incentive that's actually going on for this house right now. So, but what I was going to tell you is Vintage Oaks is unlike any other master plan community. I mean like you have places in New Braunfels like Verde.

We've talked about places like Kinder Ranch. None of them even compare to like where the amenities are here out here in Vintage Oaks. So, and guys, it's not just the endless miles of walking trails that you have, nor it's not about just the numerous amount of pickleball courts or the pickleball clubs that they have here or the tennis courts or the playgrounds. But guys, I say all this jokingly, but they also have like four swimming pools. They have a lazy river. They have soccer fields.

They have baseball fields, batting cages. So when you like talk about things that like yeah you're minutes away you're about 15 minutes away from New Braunfels guys you don't have to drive to New Braunfels for those activities but also like they have their own fitness center with their own fitness classes whether maybe you like to do bar maybe you like to do yoga pilates they have a whole room and they have instructors for all that. So like when you look at Vintage Oaks it I mean it's more than just like a house and a community that goes on out here. It is a like when you look at the master plan communities, it's one of the most wellthoughtout one. Not just because of like the Texas Hill Country views, but like when you look at the spacious of the lots, they just didn't build a bunch of homes on top of each other, but on top of that, they gave you the top-notch and probably the best amenities than any other master plan community that's out there. But guys, that's why I wanted to sit back and just kind of like like like a lot of people when they come out here.

One thing you need to know about Vintage Oaks, and we're going to talk about a little bit more like the cost of everything out here as well, but you're going to have two separate sections of vintage oaks. You're going to have one section that's going to be the closest to New Braunfels. It's called the Grove. Uh those will be 50 to 70 foot lots. So, just understand that. And there's going to be a mud tack for those houses, too.

Those are going to be like all your production builders whether like uh Perry Home, Scott Felder, but but one thing I will say is right now they are out of lots. There are no more builds are going up. So everything that you're going to find up there in the Grove right now, it's all going to be resell. But once you get out of the Grove, it's only like a small little pizza place of the area. Then you're going to get into the actual vintage oaks itself. Uh which is going to be your one acre plus lots.

Uh typically homes are going to be at least 2,300 square feet. Uh then you're going to find all the way up to 6,000 plus square feet. And that's what really makes this this because both of those specific areas, they're going to have access to the amenities uh that's out here. Now, I've done videos out here before, not specifically in Vintage Oaks, but I did it out in the preserve of Elm Creek. One thing you need to know about the preserve, it is not part of Vintage Oaks. It is its own separate uh HOA.

It doesn't have access to amenities. So, if you like I mean there's some beautiful builds out there, but if you prefer the community being able to get access to the resort style and you like some of the builders back there like in the preserve at Grand Endeavors, they do they build their custom homes here. In fact, they're one of the more prominent builders is out here as there are many others like Keith Wing, KC Custom Homes. Uh it just there are many different builders out here depending on what you're looking for. So guys, that's on the community itself. you have questions, my phone number's below.

But let's get out to the places uh that that really you don't see with many videos of what extra this house has to offer to as well. And look, guys, as we walk out here in the backyard, guys, I mean, you're going to see some unbelievable views as we get up to the back fence, especially kind of where this house is located. But let me flip this around because I sure you don't want to see my face. This is what you're going to have right when you're stepping out the back porch. As you see, you got the oak trees in the back. You're going to have walking trails that go back beyond like more of like Texas Hill Country or the the mountains of Texas of what some people like to acclaim it is.

Uh not really anybody in this area cuz everybody understands. But also, there's a house right over there. You can't see it because you're sectioned off by the trees. But guys, I mean, when you look at this house specifically in a lot of these houses, like you're going to find out uh one, you're going to see a lot of zero uh a lot of zeroscape that's out here. Uh some people may have hard feelings about that. Uh but I mean the truth of nature is is like we do get in drought seasons and when we do we get on water restrictions.

So sometimes this is a better way to keep your house landscaped uh with the zero skate. But one thing like what you see with this house is like there is nothing that is cut short as I'm trying not to fall in the pool right here. Um, and like they have their own roll shades down. And these guys, these are these are going to be controller. These, so you completely can section out your back porch uh on the hot summer days that we never get here. Uh, pun intended there.

But it's it's also kind of it's it's going to essentially be your sun porch that gives you kind of the peace and tranquility, especially like when you look at the pool that they have out here. Now, walking over here, guys. I mean, it's easy to see. You can see the outdoor kitchen. It's already preset up. Uh, you have your own fridge.

You got a sink. You got water ran out here. You got your propane grill, your cutting table. Just everything that you would want for like outdoor parties for or outdoor gatherings for you, family, and friends. And then also, we'll come back out here. We'll take a look at the back gate as well here in just a second.

Uh, but before we do, let's go ahead and let's look at the cassita that they built back here. Now, as you walk in the cassita, like if you have like guests that like to be here, this ends up being kind of like a could be a fifth bedroom. The only thing that this one is missing, I mean, it it has a bathroom. It just doesn't have a shower in the bathroom, but you can easily rebuild this to have a shower and a toilet and extend this off. That would not be very difficult to do. But you see, like even the flooring, this is going to be a luxury vinyl plank flooring.

But one thing and we'll get to they got a secret room back here that we'll talk about here in just a second. Let's get through the kitchenette because like you can completely have separated living that's out here with guest moving with your own fridge, sink, TV area. But guys, guess what? Who thought to make its own theater room inside of Cassita? This is absolutely amazing. And if you're inside of here right now, I wish you can just hear like the sound that you're utily hear, but that you don't because um the way that they insulated the sound and everything.

They try to give you the complete like effects of a movie theater with the light switches, guys. And it just looks absolutely stunning and really really cool like how they built this cassita. So whether you wanted to build that and you wanted to remove those and put a bed up there, I like the idea of the outdoor theater. Uh it's really really cool. And then I would end up putting like some type of bed that's out here uh inside the kitchenet. But it's to each your own.

And I really love the way that they developed this. All right, man. Who doesn't like that view walking out? So guys, as we continue to like walk over here, this really go co coincides and goes into what Hill Country is all about. Uh you're going to said we talk about this all the time. You got the endless views that are going on back here.

Uh the property line and I can't I I would have to look to verify this, but a lot of times what you're going to see with these property lines, you see that fence back there. Uh some people don't fence in their entire acre. Sometimes they'll leave it short. I don't know if their property goes all the way back to that fence, but you can see the walking trail that just goes on and on through that open gate. And I wish uh you'll see through my drone shots too that just the amount of views and the hill country that you're going to get back there. As you can see like like houses like here this you can see how easily people get captured in the serene that's going out here into uh in a Vintage Oaks.

And what makes everything even better is like what are the prices of these or like like what does it cost to live out here in the Vintage Oaks? There's really two different price points depending on like if you're looking just focus on the resort area or if you actually want the acreage and we're going to talk about this home specifically and the incentives that it has going on. All right guys, before we get to what it costs out here, which it's you're definitely want to stay tuned to that, guys, is I work with people who are looking to relocate either San Antonio or the surrounding Texas Hill Country. And guys, that's why I put my information below is just reach out, schedule a call with me or guys, just shoot me a text straight up on the screen below. And look guys, I mean, I've moved uh numerous of times. I moved nine times in my military career.

So, I understand the stresses of trying to like locate the area that's going to fit both you and your family, y'all's vibe, y'all's lifestyle, what type of commute that you're looking for, just whatever that vibe is that's going to fit y'all. That's how I work. And that's that's why I really get to know uh the people that I work with. And I again I've I've worked with numerous people from California, Washington, Tennessee, just all over the US to help find their location of where they want to call home. Now, let's talk about this area. Let's talk about Vintage Oaks.

And guys, I talked about it before is like when you look at the amenities that's going on out here, like between like the four swimming pools, uh you got the um the lazy river, the fitness center, pickupball courts, the amphitheater, all that. When it all goes into play and everything, what people automatically think the HOA out here is going to be $1,500, $2,000, $3,000 a year. A lot of locations that would be true, but that's what makes this whole place so vintage. like all advantage oaks. Uh, and when the way that they advertise, they do not short what they're meaning when they say resort style amenities because that's what they offer. But what's even nicer, guys, is their HOA fees are right around $800 a year, guys.

Typically, like like when you look at these style of amenities are going around, most places are going to run you in between like $1,500 to $3,000 a year depending on where your location is. Now, what's even nicer about like when you look at Vintage Oaks, this is not just custom to one price point. You're looking at 3,900 acres that's built out here. So, I I I say all that because you got that section up in the front that's going to be the groves, guys. You can find homes in the fives and the sixes and the low sevens down there. And you're still going to get all the amenities of what you're going to find on these luxury acre properties as well.

So again, when you look at the like the cost of living that you can see how easy that and the reason why San Antonio, the surrounding area becomes such a big draw for people that are moving from out of state. But on top of that, like when you look at these uh the 1acre properties, guys, I mean, your price range is going to be one on the map. It's it's really like what you're looking at. You can find stuff in the sevens and you can find stuff all the way up into the high one mills or even sometime 2 mills as well. So, you have tons of options, but what does this house cost? So, what you're looking at here, guys, and one of the things I love about is this house is owned by a veteran that's out here.

And and that's like when you look like the affordability and everything else, when you start seeing vets living in these style homes, it makes you feel really, really good because it's like, okay, I can get there. I can afford something like this. And what they're what they're offering on this is like they got a VA assumable loan right now and it's at 3.175%. Now guys, that's not on the full amount of the price. That's going to be on a certain amount of the price and and call me and we can discuss that as far as what that price is because you would have to put money down. But also, when you're looking at the house like this, when you think of the cassita, the four bedrooms over 3,000 square feet.

In addition, you got the pool on over one acre overseeing everything we saw back there, guys. This house is one only 1.09 uh only $1.095 million. And I know some of you say only only, but yeah, it's like when you look at everything that you're getting in the neighborhood with Texas Hill Country, this house really becomes truly a bargain and really becoming your wheelhouse. But again, if it's not guys, if this is not the price point that you're looking at, schedule a call for me. Let's find what you're looking for in the price point. But in the meantime, I'm going to see you in the next videos.

Watch this video right here to really understand San Antonio and the surrounding area.
