A truly one-of-a-kind Hill Country retreat in Canyon Lake, this thoughtfully updated 2-bedroom, 2-bath home offers 1,715 square feet on an oversized .44-acre corner lot filled with mature trees and distinctive outdoor spaces. The backyard is a private oasis featuring lush landscaping, a custom waterfall and grotto, sprinkler system, and plenty of room to relax or entertain. The centerpiece of the property is the remarkable three-story palapa nestled among the treetops. Built with beams sourced from the historic Bastrop area, the palapa features electricity, cold water plumbing, a half bath, and multiple levels for enjoying the Hill Country breeze, sunrise, and sunset. Inside, the home was remodeled down to the studs and features double-pane windows, updated insulation, luxury vinyl flooring, a spacious kitchen with hand-hammered copper cabinet insets and custom backsplash, and a primary suite with French doors overlooking the backyard and a generous tiled shower. Major improvements include a commercial-grade standing seam metal roof, updated electrical and breaker boxes, PEX water lines, PVC plumbing, water heater, reverse osmosis drinking water system, and recent electrical service upgrades. A private well with water softener and UV filtration provides the home's water supply. The property also offers a large two-car garage and workshop with abundant storage, plus an additional approximately 200-square-foot insulated, heated and air-conditioned garage/multipurpose space with a functional garage door. RV and boat parking, a storage building, and a classic brick barbecue pit add even more versatility. With no HOA and an exceptional combination of character, functionality, and outdoor living, 1746 Cattail is anything but ordinary
