Welcome to 8408 Spicewood Springs, a 4-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom custom home by the Alford company, with access to the North Bosque River and stunning views! Begin outside with a magnificent overview of the river from the limestone fire pit. Then reach the water's edge through the custom-designed railroad timber & stone staircase and enjoy the serene river up close and fish against the backdrop of the Lake Waco Wetlands while letting the Great Egrets and Great Blue Herons fly by. Bask in the twilight setting over the wetlands from the pool adorned with waterfall & jump rock. An exciting playground comes complete with a tree house overlooking the ravine with a tube twister slide and a zipline. Don't want to come inside? No problem - a large patio with an outside bar (including a stainless-steel fridge and a sink with disposal) and a full exterior bathroom are there for you and your guests.
