ONE OF A KIND PIECE OF TEXAS HISTORY
For Sale
Own a piece of Texas History located on .997 acres in the heart of Boerne at 706 South Main St.
Our neighbor for 162 years is St. Peters church that was saved by the US Supreme Court in famous Boerne vs Flores case.
You can hear the church bells every morning while having coffee in the huge walled courtyard/garden.
The mansion dates back to the 1850’s, though the specs say 1875, the first construction was a little house built in 1851 which is now the entry and has the oldest wood floors and stone walls.
