4 Beds ⋅ 3 Baths ⋅ 6586855 MLS ⋅ 78666 Zip Code

Hidden beneath a canopy of mature trees, 121 Merrywood offers 2.7 private acres just minutes from the heart of San Marcos, pairing the seclusion of a Hill Country property with the convenience of being close to everything. Set far back from the street along a secluded drive, the home was designed around its surroundings. Soaring mid-century ceilings and walls of architectural windows bring the outdoors in, while a dual-sided wood-burning fireplace connects two expansive living spaces and gives the home a character rarely found in newer construction. Thoughtful renovations have preserved that character while opening the kitchen and dining areas and adding quartz countertops, beautifully updated bathrooms, wood-look tile throughout, and a newer HVAC system. The privacy carries outside with an expansive backyard, large covered patio, and plenty of room to gather, play, or simply enjoy the surrounding acreage and native wildlife. Yet some of the best parts of San Marcos are only minutes away. Hike the 12+ miles of trails at Purgatory Creek, spend summer afternoons in the spring-fed San Marcos River, explore Spring Lake, or head Downtown for dinner without giving up the space and seclusion that make the property so special. For buyers who want more land without moving further out, 121 Merrywood is a rare opportunity to have both. A complimentary 2/1 interest rate buydown for qualified buyers makes the value even stronger.

The home offers 1,687 square feet with three bedrooms, two full baths, and a half bath, all on one level. The third bedroom flexes easily as extra living space, a home office, or a guest suite. Stone and wood siding, a bright red front door, and a metal roof give the house a simple Hill Country look, with a gravel drive and trees wrapping the lot. Inside, vaulted ceilings and wood beams open into a living room with a stone wood-burning fireplace, then flow toward the kitchen and dining area. Quartz counters, an open layout, and no carpet keep the rooms easy to live in and easy to host. The primary bedroom is on the main level with two closets. Out back, a covered porch looks into the woods, with room for a grill and seating; an attached side-facing garage, abundant gravel parking, and a shed finish the property. Central electric heat and air, well water, septic, and electricity are connected. The street is quiet and rural, with no HOA, heavy tree cover, and woods views, yet you are still minutes from downtown San Marcos, Texas State, the rivers, and I-35, and about 40 minutes from Austin or San Antonio. The home has operated as a short-term rental for the last 1.5 years and averaged about $2,400 a month in rent. That figure is seller-reported and not a promise of future income; a buyer should confirm permits, ETJ or city rules, and tax treatment before planning the same use.
