Property Description
Tucked away at the end of a long private drive beneath towering Oak trees, 830 Palomino offers peaceful country living with exceptional privacy just minutes from San Marcos. Situated on 7 scenic acres just outside the city limits, this remarkable property combines timeless craftsmanship, flexibility, and convenience with low tax rates and very few restrictions. The beautifully constructed stone home features rich hardwood floors, sandstone tile, custom plantation shutters, soaring ceilings, and a stunning floor-to-ceiling wood-burning stone fireplace anchoring the main living area. The updated kitchen offers granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, abundant prep space, and an inviting layout ideal for both daily living and entertaining. A formal dining room provides flexibility for gatherings, a home office, library, or additional living space. The spacious primary suite includes a separate sitting area perfect for reading or relaxing. The primary bath features double vanities and a walk-in shower for both comfort and functionality. Outside, enjoy a covered back patio overlooking the beauty and tranquility of the land, mature Oaks throughout the property, and a raised garden ready for gardening enthusiasts. Designed for both lifestyle and function, the property also includes an impressive 1,200 sq. ft. workshop complete with RV parking and hookup, covered parking, ramp access, and loading dock capabilities. A second detached garage/workshop of approximately 676 sq. ft. offers excellent potential for a guest house, studio, or mother-in-law suite. The property consists of two adjoining tracts totaling 7 acres, creating flexibility while preserving the privacy and spaciousness that make this property so special. Residents also enjoy neighborhood amenities including a pool and tennis courts, all while being only minutes from Texas State University, downtown San Marcos, shopping, dining, and the river.
