Set on 3.55 oak-covered acres in the Country Estates neighborhood, this property offers a quiet setting just minutes from downtown San Marcos and everyday amenities. Built in 2003, the two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath home makes thoughtful use of its footprint and is surrounded by 1, 300 square feet of wraparound porches on three sides. The property is shaded by oak trees and fenced on three sides, giving both privacy and room to roam. Wildlife is part of the daily scenery, and the absence of city lights makes evenings ideal for stargazing. As a county property, it carries a favorable 1.52% tax rate and no HOA restrictions. Country Estates also includes a neighborhood pool and tennis courts for residents to enjoy, but the real draw is the ability to enjoy a comfortable home in a natural setting while staying only minutes from town.
