Property Description

Discover a true piece of Texas history with this rare Pioneer Castroville Home - the Mangold-Holzhaus House at 413 Petersburg. One of Castroville's earliest rock-and-plaster homes (pre-1855), this designated historic property is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and has been lovingly preserved for generations. Built as a classic Alsatian-style cottage with 18-inch thick walls, the home features original cypress beams and loft flooring, a heart-of-pine mantel adorned with distinctive stars, and a fascinating evolution from its original single-room layout with root cellar and sleeping loft. This is a home for the discerning buyer who appreciates Early Texas history, handcrafted details, and deep local provenance. It is decorated with original, and period pieces - all telling the story of Castroville's founding by Henri Castro and the settlers from Alsace-Lorraine who helped shape Texas. Extremely rare on the market - this property has not been on the market for many years. Historic homes of this caliber and pedigree are highly sought after by antique enthusiasts, history lovers, and those wanting an authentic connection to Texas pioneer heritage. Castroville's charming small-town atmosphere, combined with proximity to San Antonio, makes this a singular opportunity. Don't miss your chance to own a documented piece of Texas history. Schedule your private showing today. ***Important. Please Note: This is an historic home, and sits within a designated historic district. Therefore, any proposed exterior changes (including modifications, additions, new construction, or demolition) must be reviewed by the Historic Landmark Comm'n prior to commencement of any work.
