House Description

If the grid goes down, this property keeps the lights on. Set on 6.19 oak-canopied acres just outside San Marcos city limits, 228 Deertrail Drive is a self-sufficient 2-home compound built for people who value independence from utility bills, neighbors, & the unpredictability that comes with power grids. Both the 2,085 sq ft primary home & the separate 800 sq ft accessory dwelling unit (ADU) run on a $98k fully owned solar & battery system: 9.76 kilowatts of roof-mounted panels paired w/3 Enphase Encharge battery units storing 30.24 kWh of backup power. No HOA. No city utilities dependency. No monthly solar payment- it's paid in full. The primary home has been thoroughly updated: Luxury vinyl plank & tile throughout, quartz countertops, contemporary cabinetry w/a coffee bar, a wood-burning fireplace, high ceilings in the main living area, & a dining room that seats 8 comfortably. The primary suite includes dual vanities, a tiled walk-in shower, & his-&-her walk-in closets. Three more bedrooms are generously proportioned. Updated with Anderson windows in 2017. A 572 sq ft detached garage, fully insulated w/a workshop & window AC, is ready for projects. The ADU, built in 2021, is a completely independent residence: Full kitchen, washer/dryer hookups, ADA-compliant throughout w/a ramped carport entry & roll-in shower. Live in one home & rent the other. Give aging parents a place of their own — on your land, on their terms. Two RV power hookups & a dedicated RV sewer connection mean your rig has a permanent home base. Multiple fenced areas accommodate chickens, goats, or larger animals. Three storage sheds, the largest at 427 sq ft & insulated. Standing seam metal roofs on every structure. Refrigerators, washers, dryers in both homes, convey. Hays CAD appraised/market value is $883,370! Texas State University: 5 miles. HEB: 6 miles. Hospital: 9 miles. No HOA, no city limits, no compromises. This is the kind of property people wish they had bought two winters ago.
