SAN ANTONIO - Californer -- In Pleasanton, Texas, just 30 miles south of the City of San Antonio, a remarkable property awaits discovery. This 6,243-square-foot mansion, reminiscent of a grand Mayan castle, and a 10,000+-square-foot barndominium, once the sanctuary of renowned architect Victor Salas, stand as symbols of luxury and endless possibilities.

Situated on approximately 147 acres, which includes nearly a mile and a half of Interstate 37 frontage, the estate includes 9 bedrooms and 9.5 bathrooms, as well as an expansive conference and entertainment space showcasing 5 of the bedrooms, two of which are private efficiencies.

The possibilities for the use of the land, mansion, and barndominium are endless and await their new owner to bring them to life.
