Southside House | Historic House on San Antonio River and Mission Trail next to Mission San Juan

3 Bedroom House in Southside, San Antonio

Historic House on San Antonio River and Mission hike and bike trail. Our casa is right next door to one of San Antonio's five mission's, Mission San Juan Capistrano, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We are on the San Antonio River and the wonderful newly renovated hike and bike trail that connect all the Missions. Skip rocks on the river, watch the sunset or curl up in our comfortable, charming home. With extensive grounds, nestled on 2 acres, we have a real 'getting away from it all' feel while still being conveniently located to all of San Antonio's best attractions -10 miles to The Alamo- 3 miles to grocery stores, restaurants, a movie theater and shopping!
History: The main portion of the house was built 1890ish and then the rest was added in the late 20s. All the land to the south of the home used to be owned by the Southwells. It was a pecan orchard. The river portion to your west was cut in the late 50s in order to move water out if downtown more rapidly and prevent flooding. The river to the east is the original river remnant and has incredible bird life. You may also see coyotes and wild hogs on the river. It is rumored to have been a stagecoach stop and even a brothel.

Summary: We loved staying at this character-filled and beautifully-appointed home! The location was so cool being next door to mission San Juan and riverwalk hike and bike trail, and we loved the roaming chickens and dogs on the property. We would definitely stay here again for a long weekend. It’s the perfect place to relax and hang out with family and friends.
