TOPOGRAPHY, RANGELAND & HABITAT
The southern border of the property along CR 2...
The southern border of the property along CR 250 is lined by colorful crape myrtles and a canopy of pecans, cedar elms, and hackberries. The manicured grounds surrounding the home provide gratifying views of the river and the larger-than-life trees. Both the east and west sides of the property feature pecan orchards with certain areas that are irrigated keeping the crop of choice well-watered year-round. A small portion of the eastern pasture has a garden enclosed by an electric fence to keep wildlife out (currently left fallow). The acreage along the river provides a dense riparian habitat with occasional palmettos and sycamore trees.
IMPROVEMENTS
The recently remodeled and charming 1,900 square foot river home features 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, open floor plan, and a porch overlooking the San Marcos River. The expansive windows in the living room provide natural light to the home throughout the day. The elevated house allows for sheltered storage of up to three vehicles as well as tools and other equipment. Access to the home is made possible by three sets of stairs as well as an outdoor elevator.
Outside of the home there is a large deck overhanging the San Marcos River and surrounded by beautiful landscaping. The irrigation system ensures the ability to keep the landscape beds and lawn well watered year round. Between the house and river is a fire pit situated next to a stand of large cedar elms and pecans allowing for picturesque views while enjoying a campfire.
The property also features an enclosed shed used to store equipment as well as a pressure tank and blue light filtration system for the well. Next to the shed there is a concrete cistern for water storage and a concrete slab with an RV hook up.
WATER
