This custom brick home in the Estates of San Marcos is set on a one-acre lot that backs directly to the City’s protected Purgatory Park green space, with Purgatory Creek running across the back of the property. The natural drop in the terrain creates long Hill Country sunset views and enhances the sense of privacy. A canopy of mature oak trees shades the expansive, level deck, which offers multiple seating areas designed for gatherings, outdoor dining, or simply enjoying the quiet park-like surroundings.
The home takes advantage of its setting with windows across the back, bringing in views from the living, dining, and sunroom spaces. The open layout allows the large living area to be arranged in different ways, with room for two living and two dining areas if desired. A brick fireplace with custom built-ins serves as the centerpiece, with a propane connection providing warmth and ambiance without the upkeep of a traditional wood-burning fire. Two patios have been enclosed to create sunrooms, adding flexible space for year-round enjoyment.
The primary suite includes a trayed ceiling, walk-in closet, soaking tub, separate shower, and direct access to both a sunroom and the deck. Secondary bedrooms are set apart from the primary for privacy, and a dedicated office offers convenience for remote work or study.
Recent upgrades include new 30-year shingles and an aerobic septic system. The property also features a newer 8×10 storage building, a greenhouse, and an RV plug. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac in a well-maintained neighborhood, this home combines thoughtful updates on the custom design, and a setting that is difficult to find—acreage, privacy, and Hill Country views, all within minutes of Downtown San Marcos and Texas State University, with low county property tax rates and no HOA.
