Built in 2013, this versatile 16.43-acre San Marcos property offers 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and approximately 2,200 sq ft of living space with a functional layout and large wrap-around deck showcasing unobstructed country views. The home features a metal roof, updated HVAC system, fiber internet, and a finished 2-car garage. A separate in-law suite includes a kitchenette, living area, bedroom, and dedicated mini-split system, with strong potential to be fully separated into a private apartment with its own entrance for income generation or multigenerational living. The property is fully perimeter fenced with 4' woven wire fencing and includes two convenient gated entrances. An additional approximately 5-acre high-fenced area provides expanded agricultural or wildlife use, with multiple drive-through and walk-through gates and underground irrigation in place. Formerly used as a peach and blackberry orchard, the land offers strong potential for continued farming, diversified crops, or exotic wildlife operations. A ~0.25-acre pond enhances the property, providing water for livestock and wildlife while also supporting recreation such as fishing. The barn is highly functional and multi-use, featuring a space previously used as a certified commercial kitchen, office/sales area, full bathroom, extensive storage, and a dedicated workshop with 220V and 110V power and compressed air lines for welding and fabrication work. Additional improvements include approximately 15,000 gallons of rainwater storage from the barn and 7,500 gallons from the home, solar panels with grid-tie inverter allowing for power generation and potential sell-back, and an additional barn/shelter for equipment or livestock. The property is ag-exempt on 16.43 acres, offering significant tax advantages. This property combines residential comfort, agricultural capability, and income potential in a highly flexible rural setting near San Marcos.
