Prepare for bluebonnets, pastures, and Central Texas charm. This fully furnished studio loft, astride the gently bubbling waters of the spring-fed San Marcos River, is less than an hour - equal distance - between Austin and San Antonio. If you have business in these cities or nearby, you can forego the big city chaos for this heaven on the prairie.
And there’s a lot business being done in these two metropolises. San Antonio boasts a diverse economy ranging from tech firms like Rackspace, the Southwest Research Institute and Applied Research, excellent medical facilities such as the Methodist Healthcare System, the Baptist Health System, and Christus Santa Rosa Health Care, and Lackland Air Force Base, Fort Sam Houston, and Randolph Air Force Base representing the military. That isn’t all; as H-E-B, USAA, Cullen/Frost Bankers, CPS Energy, Toyota, ATT, Clear Channel, Boeing, Valero, Tesoro, CST Brands, and IHeartMedia all have large presences here due to its favorable tax situation and central location. Unemployment was below the state average at 3.7% compared to 4.6%, signaling a strong local economy. Austin is also a major economic hub in Texas. Just downtown features large and influential companies like Deloitte, AT&T, the State of Texas Capitol, Whole Foods, HomeAway, Silicon Labs, Wells Fargo, St. David’s Healthcare, Bank of America, Netspend, Teacher Retirement System, JP Morgan Chase, Facebook, Cirrus Logic, and the University of Texas. There’s even a future Google Campus coming to downtown!
Located in a quiet and safe neighborhood outside of San Marcos, this elevated loft features brand new furniture, décor, and furnishings. Hardwood floors, new leather and solid wood furniture, and track lighting give the space a contemporary feel. Relax in dual club chairs and enjoy the provided cable and Wi-Fi, or simply watch the river flow by. The open space continues to a two-seat pub dining table and an open kitchen with electric stove and all the cooking equipment you’ll need. You can serve breakfast in bed via the pass through half wall to the master suite, appointed with a comfortable double bed. There’s a full bath with new fixtures and shower/tub combo. The space is completed with a massive ten by twenty foot private balcony where you can breath in the country air and marvel at the beauty of this place.
The San Marcos River is a destination for many around these parts, and people love to float lazily down it, enjoy picnics and barbecues, and enjoy the quiet life here. San Marcos is also home to a couple of major outlet malls, so shopping will be convenient. Local breweries and mouthwatering Texas barbecue and Tex-Mex are also around and worth more than one visit. If you’re up for adventure, Texas is one of the best states for a road trip, and from this home you’re also three hours from Houston and similarly far from Dallas; so there’s almost no place in the Lone Star State you can’t explore from this fantastic studio loft.

Rarely do I write a review about any establishment that I experience...this is different. I am compelled to let you all know about this “little piece of Heaven” in Martindale, TX. I was blessed to be able to spend 6 months in this cozy apartment and I was even more blessed to get to know the owners, John and Cynthia and most of the neighbors. I like quiet, out of the way places where I can go after work and rest my mind and recoup a little for the next day. The loft was exactly what I needed and what I was looking for. It is a prefect get-a-way for a professional working in and around the Austin or San Marcos area. I drove to the airport daily and it only took about 35 minutes door to door. San Marcos is close by for all of your chain store needs as well. This little apartment, nestled on the river is the perfect spot to come and relax. SIt on the back porch, kick your shoes off, and just watch the river flow by. I cannot say enough good things about this place or about the owners. Don’t take my word for it, though, come get to know them and experience life on the river.
