The property must be in bad shape for the county to reduce the taxes so much. Found this on Bexar CAD Property Search:

2007 $346,133

yep, you have the right one. doesn't it look weird?! i never saw the pool in the back...but this one is neat to drive by if you guys are out there sometime. i'd love to see if there's a history behind it to back up my gut instincts. |

still couldn't figure it out!! oh well, WCat, if you go to google maps and type in 6772 FM 1518, converse - you can zoom in and look at the house.

Iowagirl....I'm confused...???? I already did that. I sent you the link. Was that the property or not. Catriona...sounds like we're on the same property. From the air it's sort of triangular? Are we all on the same page?
BTW - Iowagirl...I was using "Virtual Earth" not "googlemaps" which might be where the confusion is. Virtual Maps offers the birdseye view that gets in a little closer. |

Catriona....I'm not sure what's what ....this link doesn't match what I saved on my post #90 of this topic. It might just be that our browsers aren't compatible!! LOL!
Anyway...for both Catriona and Iowagirl...it should be a large triangular shaped house to the EAST side of 1518. At the road, the drive is flanked with two curved half walls. There is a long circular drive in the shape of a fat 9...LOL>
There is an upper story or high ceiling in the center of the house....and a separate square garage or guest house toward the back by the pool. The pool is a free form algae filled pool.
If this is the house, it was formerly owned by Clifford and Pamela Johnson....ie "CJ". They bought the property in 1978. They owned about 57 acres that went right up to the old gas station/truck stop at the corner of 1518 and I-10.
The owers before them were Albert and Lucille Wiederstein who purchased 237 acres of this land in 1920. If that name sounds familiar, it's the same family that "Wiederstein Rd" is named for....off I -35 North of Garden Ridge.
Iowagirl.....not sure that helped for an interesting story....but the "design" of the house is certainly unconventional....sort of a Las Vegas desert bordello look? If they built it in the 70's that was the age of the advent of hot tub parties in remote areas etc....the mind can get creative!
