9 Bedroom House in Elgin

The sprawling Rivers Mansion is the unforgettable group stay or magical event space you are looking for! The main house itself is massive with wrap-around patios on both floors, large open rooms with furnishing fitting this 120 year old home, a spacious cabana by the pool, and more. The guest house offers 3 1/2 more bedrooms and full arcade with a pool table, ping pong, hot tub, 3 arcades, and more! Downtown Austin is on the horizon and Elgin with its famous BBQ is just around the corner!

Nestled within a sprawling 10-acre estate, you'll discover not one, but two remarkable residences awaiting your arrival: the majestic main mansion and the charming carriage house. Step into the grandeur of the mansion, where five expansive living and dining areas beckon with unparalleled comfort. You will find a stocked modern kitchen with plenty of space to cook for your gathering or have catering services prepare dining for your event. Lose yourself in the allure of 180-degree wrap-around patios, offering breathtaking views at every turn. Upstairs, five exquisite bedrooms await, each adorned with modern elegance and complemented by mirroring patios for a seamless indoor-outdoor experience.

Across the estate lies the enchanting carriage house, boasting a cozy kitchenette, full bath, 3 bedrooms, and an additional sleeping nook offering versatility for families and friends to unwind in comfort. But the true gem awaits in the fully furnished arcade/game room, where endless hours of fun await with billiards, air hockey, darts, arcade cabinets, and a nostalgic pinball machine. Step outside onto the back patio, where a ping pong table and a 7-person hot tub promise more continued fun.

Venture outdoors and indulge in a plethora of recreational delights, from the shimmering pool to the disk golf baskets, putting green, and full-size pickleball court. As evening falls, gather around the inviting fire pit. With seating for over 35 guests scattered across the outdoor property, there is space for gatherings of any size.

This haven seamlessly blends the charm of history with modern amenities, offering an unparalleled retreat where every detail is crafted with your comfort and enjoyment in mind. Welcome to a one-of-a-kind escape where timeless elegance meets contemporary luxury.

You'll have full access to the entire estate!
