833 Belvin St, San Marcos, TX 78666

Iconic historical home on one of the most beautiful streets in San Marcos. Majestic oaks on an acre plus private lot with swimming pool, garage apartment, greenhouse, and tennis court. The home was built in 1892 and has all the charm in the world. Large bedrooms and gorgeous hardwood floors. Fully landscaped with rock patios and pathways.The private back yard oasis is protected by a one of a kind rock wall providing tons of privacy and protection.

A fully intact 1892 residence on 1.06 acres is the defining advantage here, and 833 Belvin St stands out for combining true historic age with a lot size that is difficult to replicate in a central residential setting. In San Marcos in San Marcos, that mix of land, house scale, and long-established setting creates a different value profile than a newer single family home on a standard homesite. At $1.40M, or $306 per square foot, the pricing has to be read in the context of 4,565 square feet, an acre-plus lot, and a property type that offers both residential presence and meaningful site utility.

The house itself brings 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and 1 half bath across a footprint that suggests generous room dimensions rather than compressed modern planning. The 1892 build date matters because it places the home in a category where original character, proportion, and material quality often become part of the asset, not just the backdrop. Hardwood floors and large bedrooms support that reading. The setting adds another layer. Mature oak trees, a landscaped grounds plan, rock patios and pathways, a swimming pool, a greenhouse, a garage apartment, and a tennis court push this well beyond a typical in-town property. Those are not cosmetic add-ons. They change how the land functions day to day and how flexible the estate is for long-term ownership.

Privacy is another concrete strength. The backyard is framed as a separate environment, with a substantial rock wall creating enclosure and shielding the pool and outdoor areas from surrounding visibility. On a 1.06 acre parcel, that kind of separation matters because it gives the property more than size. It gives it control. Buyers looking at historic homes often weigh charm against usability, and this property answers that question with outdoor infrastructure, secondary improvements, and room to spread out without giving up the identity of an older residence.

Seventy-one days on market suggests buyers have had time to study it, which is common when a property sits in a narrower category that needs the right owner rather than broad mass appeal. That is exactly how this home should be evaluated. It is not simply a 3 bedroom house in San Marcos. It is a historic single family residence with estate-style land, recreational features, and a site plan that would be difficult to assemble again in the same form. For a buyer who understands scarcity in terms of age, acreage, and usable improvements, 833 Belvin St has the kind of long-range hold value that tends to separate itself over time.
