Some properties give you a home; this one gives you two. Tucked into The Preserve in China Spring, 8460 Spicewood Springs is a rare offering: two complete residences on a single lot, with all the Tuscan-inspired character and flexibility that come with them. The nearly 5,000-square-foot main house lives large and easy, with four bedrooms and four baths. The whole property answers to a single touch. A Control4 system puts lighting, climate, sound, and the pool a tap away, from the next room or across the country; upgraded speakers and Dolby surround carry sound from the living room and theater out to the patio and casita, and every television and stereo system stays with the home. At the center of it all, a resort-style pool and spa, rebuilt end to end on a new Polaris pump and a gas heater, anchor a covered patio built for long evenings outdoors. Just steps away sits a casita, a 1,605 sqft second home that has never been lived in, with its own kitchen, living space, outdoor half-bath and two bedrooms with en-suite baths featuring purposefully accessible shower floors to accommodate all buyers. Imagine your favorite people living close enough to share the pool every afternoon, and still coming home to a place entirely your own; a private guest house for visitors, an opportunity to reduce your monthly mortgage, the possibilities are yours to define. For the hobbyist and the collector alike, the epoxy-floored garages are rare: nine covered spaces in all, anchored by the six-car bay in the casita that conceals an insulated, ready workshop. Room for the collection, the builds, and the projects that never fit anywhere else. Zoned for sought-after China Spring schools and set along the shoulder of the North Bosque River, this is a property that does something almost none can: it lets one address live like two.

North Lake Waco, located between Lake Waco and the Brazos River, is a residential and lakeside Waco neighborhood with shoreline parks and winding, tree-lined streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Lake Shore Drive and Airport Road corridor, where marinas, bait-and-tackle counters, and casual patios set a weekend-on-the-water rhythm. Housing ranges from mid-century ranch homes to newer builds with decks and lake views. Lake Waco Park and the dam area shape daily routines with walking paths, boat ramps, and open water. The Waco Rowing Center and the Lake Waco Wetlands add a distinctly outdoors-forward cultural layer. Evenings often orbit around local tables at places like Lakeside Bar & Grill.
