Extremely unique property with 280 ft of frontage on the San Marcos River only forty minutes from central Austin, under an hour from San Antonio and two hours from Houston. This property is on deep water just above the quaint and lively city of Martindale. The 1940 home has been restored to the guidelines of the Martindale Historic District with original ship lap and wood flooring contributing to the historic/modern combination interior design. Without yet being listed for a bustling summer river season, this home has a short but impressive Airbnb history with all five star reviews. There are currently six future bookings. The home sits on one full acre of rolling fields of wildflowers with a stone path to the upper deck and an on water dock for kayaks, tubes, fishing, and swimming. Martindale is an up and coming destination for live music, weddings, and river adventures. It has maintained it's historic appearance and therefore has in the past been the set for multiple movies. This property is walking distance to downtown Martindale with the newly opened restaurant and music venue Duett's Texas Club https://www. duettstx.com/ This is a dream property for family fun!
