Description
Nestled in a quiet pocket of Martindale, this fixer-upper promises a tranquil escape from the rigor of city life. As you approach the home, you are greeted by its charm and the potential it holds within. The current owner has already provided the groundwork for renovations and since December 2021 has replaced both the A/C and water heater, installed vinyl flooring throughout, and enclosed the back porch to serve as a mudroom/laundry room. Additionally, the pier and beam foundation has been leveled and all new skirting placed around the perimeter of the house.
The home sits on .5 acre of level land with a peaceful backyard that overlooks an expansive open pasture. Just imagine sitting outback, coffee in hand, with an unobstructed view of the sunrise each morning. Or if you are more of a night owl, gathering around a bonfire under the starry night sky.
Located away from the hustle and bustle of city life, yet just a short drive from essential amenities, this property offers the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience. Don't miss your chance to claim this adorable sanctuary and personalize it into the retreat of your dreams.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is not the place to go if you just moved to San Marcos i would highly recommend homeschooling if best, This school that my son goes to is an hot mess, the teachers do not care whatsoever about the kids i’ve seen the admin just ignore the students as i was enrolling my child into this school, the teachers let the kids be on their phone most of the time and doesn’t re direct at all towards the kids if the phones are out, this school is a whole circus i must add that when my child experience his 1st School shooter threat, he was frightened and that really says something about this horrendous school. Moving here and enrolling my some was a big mistake and coming from a big city to a so called “town” was one of the biggest mistakes that i have ever made in my life. i feel sorry for the ones who go here. I see the Reviews online about this school and it is true.Horrible Teachers, Unprofessional counselors, Admin's,Nurse's , etc.I regret moving here w/ my child.Parent Review1y ago - Dezavala Elementary School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy oldest daughter has attended both Bowie & Dezavala, and I have to say for her Dezavala is a better fit. I have always heard only glowing things about Bowie but it has its faults also. No school is perfect. I as a parent never felt really at home at Bowie. However,at Dezavala I am involved in both my daughters' classrooms, and have found a warm, open door policy. I say to parents with negative things to say, just BE INVOLVED! The help is needed & welcomed, and you can see for yourself how dedicated & hardworking most teachers are. Its like complaining about the government & not being a registered voter. Some parents have never even set foot in classrooms, even when required. If your childs teracher sees you as interested, engaged, and involved, your child will benefit, believe me. It is worth your time, and your childs school, Dezavala or otherwise, will only be better for it.Parent Review14y ago
