About this House

Turnkey Farmhouse Retreat or Family Home on 2.5 Acres — China Spring ISD —15 Minutes to Downtown Waco

Beautifully remodeled 3-bedroom, 2-bath farmhouse on 2.5 acres, offering the best of both worlds - a fully furnished, income-producing Airbnb STR with solid bookings, or a move-in-ready family retreat in one of Central Texas’s most sought-after school districts.

Enjoy an excellent location just 15 minutes from downtown Waco, combining peaceful country living with easy access to city conveniences, dining, and shopping - all within the top-rated China Spring ISD.

Inside, a sun-filled open-concept layout welcomes you with vaulted, wood-beamed ceilings, shiplap accents, and a chef’s kitchen featuring quartz countertops, crisp white cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances. The thoughtfully laid-out floor plan includes a beautifully updated primary suite with dual vanities and updated bath. The wood beams are carried throughout each of the secondary bedrooms creating a beautiful space.

Outside, the property truly shines — a detached, air-conditioned game room or office with foosball, ping pong, and arcade games offers flexible space for guests, kids, or remote work. Unwind on the screened back porch or covered rocking-chair front porch, gather around the fire pit, or soak in the private hot tub under mature shade trees.

Whether you’re seeking a turnkey investment property with proven rental history or a spacious, light-filled family home close to Waco, 1488 McGary Lane delivers on every level. Schedule your private showing today!

    "The neighborhood is in a weird place. A lot of Waco is like this, actually. One street is nice and well cared for and the next over is on the sketchy side. I wouldn’t let my kid ride a bike around my neighborhood, but I see others—who live on less busy streets—doing so. "

    "The nighborhoods are very confusing safety wise, you can mansions on one block and be in a dangerous part the next block over. I can’t say much about the schools but from what I have heard from teachers Woodway ISD treats staff well so I think there’s probably more retention there "

    "There are a lot of strays running around. And there are people who don’t pick up after their animals. So, I’ve gotten yelled at by 3 different people about my dogs going on the edge of their lawn by the sidewalk. There’s a lot of people who don’t care for their animals and just let them out of their houses, not fenced, off leash, to roam around the streets. It’s really weird. People are weird "
