The San Antonio Conservation Society is trying to sell the Anton Wulff house, the stately King William Historical District home that’s served as its headquarters, since 1975.
Apparently, it hasn’t been easy finding a buyer, though.
Since putting the 1870-era property up for sale in late 2021 for just under $4 million, the society has listed it and resisted it, slashing the price twice. It’s most recent price cut — one for $500,000 — came May 2, dropping the home’s listing price to $2,975,000.
When the San Antonio Conservation Society originally listed its headquarters, chief Vincent Michael told the Express-News the group wanted to take advantage of the booming real estate market. Perhaps that market wasn’t as strong as originally anticipated.
After all, it’s hard to imagine Wulff House not tickling someone’s fancy.
The three-story limestone structure stands adjacent to the River Walk, right at the entry point to the historic King William neighborhood. The 6,000-square-foot home and a 1,400-square-foot barn behind it are zoned for office use but could be turned to residential designation, according to the property listing.
Like many of King William’s early residents, Wulff immigrated from Germany. After finding success in business in San Antonio, he served as the city’s first park commissioner and introduced resolutions that started the beautification of Alamo Plaza, according to the Texas State Historical Association.
