Martindale, TX 78655 (Guadalupe County)
About this property
Rarely does a property come to market that is truly one of a kind — this 3.9-acre tract in Martindale delivers exactly that. Positioned perfectly overlooking the San Marcos River just above the Scull Road bridge, this property offers an extraordinary combination of riverfront living, acreage, and timeless character that cannot be replicated. The land itself is the star. A flag lot peninsula of nearly half an acre jets out from the tract with San Marcos River access on all sides — an unmatched setting for fishing, kayaking, entertaining, or simply soaking in one of Texas's most beloved waterways. Notably, the property has never flooded — a rare and valuable distinction for riverfront land. The 3,112 sq ft home, originally built in 1958, carries the warmth and charm of its midcentury roots while thoughtfully evolved through tasteful additions over the decades. Only two owners in its entire history speak to the pride of ownership and care this property has received. Major updates include an upgraded pier and beam foundation and a new roof with premium shingles, giving buyers the peace of mind of a solidly maintained home with the character of a classic. A comforting ranch-style layout features a spacious kitchen equipped with a high-end gas range, a sun room perfect for morning coffee or an afternoon escape, and a flexible fourth room that works equally well as a bedroom or private office.

About the Area
3500 Scull Rd is located in Martindale, Texas, in Guadalupe County. Guadalupe County anchors the fast-growing corridor between San Antonio and Austin, centered on Seguin, one of the oldest Anglo settlements in Texas, founded in 1838 and named for Juan Seguín, the Tejano hero of the Texas Revolution. The county blends deep Texas history with explosive modern growth driven by its position between two of America's largest metro economies.
The Guadalupe River flows through the heart of Guadalupe County, providing river frontage properties and water recreation within easy reach of San Antonio. Lake Gonzales and Meadow Lake provide additional water amenities. The terrain transitions from the limestone hills of the western county to the rich blackland prairie soils of the east, which have supported agriculture since the earliest Anglo settlements.

Guadalupe County is one of the fastest-growing counties in Texas, driven by San Antonio and Austin metro expansion, major manufacturing including the massive Toyota truck plant in nearby San Antonio, and a surging residential real estate market. Seguin's industrial base includes significant advanced manufacturing alongside the growing bedroom community residential sector serving both metro areas.
