Rarely does a property come to market that is truly one of a kind — this 3.9-acre tract in Martindale delivers exactly that. Positioned perfectly overlooking the San Marcos River just above the Scull Road bridge, this property offers an extraordinary combination of riverfront living, acreage, and timeless character that cannot be replicated.
The land itself is the star. A flag lot peninsula of nearly half an acre jets out from the tract with San Marcos River access on all sides — an unmatched setting for fishing, kayaking, entertaining, or simply soaking in one of Texas's most beloved waterways. Notably, the property has never flooded — a rare and valuable distinction for riverfront land.
The 3,112 sq ft home, originally built in 1958, carries the warmth and charm of its midcentury roots while thoughtfully evolved through tasteful additions over the decades. Only two owners in its entire history speak to the pride of ownership and care this property has received. Major updates include an upgraded pier and beam foundation and a new roof with premium shingles, giving buyers the peace of mind of a solidly maintained home with the character of a classic. A comforting ranch-style layout features a spacious kitchen equipped with a high-end gas range, a sun room perfect for morning coffee or an afternoon escape, and a flexible fourth room that works equally well as a bedroom or private office.
