A hilltop home in Helotes has hit the market for $2.5 million, and among its many notable features is a secret room hidden behind a bookcase.

Although it’s close to Halloween and such clandestine chambers feature in plenty of classic horror movies, this cloak-and-dagger quirk is far less sinister. The hideaway is equipped with a safe for storing valuables, according to the listing for the 4,400-square-foot property.

There’s more to the three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath home that just a secret room, however.

Situated on 11.7 acres, the hilltop residence boasts “breathtaking views from every room,” the sales listing gushes. Beyond that, a wall of windows offers the chance to “watch hummingbirds fly by, wild turkeys gather and deer on their afternoon walk.”

In 2015, the contemporary home landed the Greater San Antonio Home Builders Association’s Summit Award, which recognizes exceptional builders, developers, remodelers and the structures they create. 

This home is listed by Kay Laird with Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty.
