The Bergheim General Store, known originally as the Engel Store, has stood as a pilar of the Bergheim community since it was established in 1903 by Andreas Engel. Mr. Engel originally opened a store closer to the Guadalupe River but due to flooding decided to build a store on higher ground. The store has been in the same family and running for the last 115 years. The beautiful 2500 sqft limestone rock building was built by Engel and is a general store and post office. There was once a cotton gin behind the house/store but it was dismantled and used to build the house and a business across the street. The Engel family is credited with naming the area Bergheim which translated means home in the hills.

The property is 7.72 +/- unrestricted acres and has the original San Antonio to Blanco road bed that went through the area. There are 10 buildings on the property that range in size from 500 sqft to 2567 sqft for a variety of different retail spaces. The new Tyler Voss Middle School that opens in the fall of 2019 along with the impending growth in Bergheim, lends this property to a long term play for development.
A Brewery, a winery, B&B or retail use of the store are just some of the options that could be considered for the property. Part of the property could have flex space buildings with a shared roadway. The property also could make good use of the large Oak trees that sprinkle the site and give shade to those warm summer days.
