Property Description

Nestled on 24.5 acres in the scenic San Martin Hills subdivision just north of Hondo and south of Bandera, this one-of-a-kind property offers privacy, functionality, and truly unique construction with no HOA or restrictions. The home features durable and energy-efficient monolithic dome construction designed to withstand extreme weather while maintaining remarkably low utility costs, according to the owner. Set back from the road behind a gated entrance and natural vegetation, the property provides a peaceful and private setting surrounded by mature native trees throughout. The interior includes two bedrooms, one and a half bathrooms, and a distinctive layout highlighted by rustic wood framing, genuine rock accent walls, and abundant natural light from large windows and skylights. A spacious upstairs loft serves as a secondary living area with its own half bath. The kitchen is well-equipped with ample cabinet space and includes all appliances. The primary suite offers double closets and a recently remodeled en suite bathroom with a walk-in shower. A wood-burning stove adds both character and functionality, providing an additional heat source and cooking option. Outdoor improvements are equally impressive, featuring a metal workshop with two-car garage space, barn-style doors, and a roll-up door leading into a dedicated work area. An additional covered equipment area accommodates tractors or recreational vehicles. The property includes a private well, recently serviced septic system, new propane tank, and a water catchment system. A detached laundry and storage building adds convenience, while a screened-in gathering space, fire pit with stone surround, and additional stone patio area create the perfect setting for entertaining. Selectively cleared trails wind through the acreage, offering easy access for exploring, recreation, or hunting, with abundant wildlife reported by the owner. Fully fenced and located less than an hour from San Antonio International Airport, this property offers a rare combination of seclusion, usability, and proximity to city amenities.
