Property Details

Some homes sell square footage. This one sells something more rare: a life. Tucked out of sight into one of San Marcos's most quietly beloved communities, 201 Ridgewood is a single-story townhome that defies the category entirely. Among just 15 units arranged around a large shared courtyard and lovely pool, this is the kind of neighborhood where people actually know each other: a living room that extends beyond your four walls. A community like this couldn't be built today. Current zoning and development standards have effectively made this model obsolete, which means what exists here is genuinely irreplaceable: a remnant of an era that believed neighbors should share beautiful open space, not just share a wall. What sets this unit apart is its remarkable position within the community. With no neighbors to the right (a wooded church property buffers the side) and the 21-acre Schulle Canyon Natural Area backing the property, three sides of this home face nothing but trees and open sky. The canyon's presence is felt: the privacy, the birdsong, the buffer from the wider world. The two-bedroom, two-bath floor plan is efficiently laid out, and the vaulted ceilings and skylights give it a spaciousness that the square footage alone doesn't tell. No carpet throughout, updated bathrooms, and the premium 2024 LG Washtower set conveys with the sale: a touch that matters on moving day. The mechanical bones are solid: a heat pump HVAC system installed in 2022 and a dimensional shingle roof from 2021 mean the big-ticket items are already done. A dedicated carport handles everyday parking, with community overflow available for guests. One half mile from the Texas State University campus: a 15-minute walk through one of the most charming stretches of San Marcos. Whether you're a faculty member, a grad student, or simply someone who values walkability and green space, 201 Ridgewood checks boxes most buyers have stopped believing they could find together.
