About This Home

Welcome to 185 Shimmering Shore Court, where Canyon Lake living meets “yes, everyone can come over — and no, you still don’t have to see them if you don't want to.” Set on over 5.6 wildlife-filled acres and over 200' of lake frontage, this private estate offers room to spread out, unwind, and coexist peacefully with both nature and friends & family. Inside, you’ll find 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms across 5,307 square feet — thoughtfully designed so everyone has space to relax (or retreat, depending on the day). The home has been meticulously maintained and recently upgraded with a brand-new water softener, because luxury is in the details. Pour a glass in your screened-in wine room, unwind in any of the four living areas, or indulge in your personal steam shower. Step outside to more than 1,700 square feet of patio space overlooking a sparkling pool with waterfall, fire features, jacuzzi, and a putting course ideal for golfers and enthusiastic “just-for-fun” putters alike. Meanwhile, deer and other local wildlife wander by as if they pay rent. Guests staying over? The detached guest suite lets them enjoy comfort and privacy — and allows you to maintain yours. A 3-car garage offers room for lake toys, adventure gear, or simply the things you swear you’ll use someday. Located less than an hour from both Austin and San Antonio, the home offers peaceful seclusion without sacrificing convenience. Brand-new appliances included — and the home can even be offered furnished with the right terms. So bring your frien
