Turnkey Farmhouse Retreat or Family Home on 2.5 Acres — China Spring ISD —15 Minutes to Downtown Waco
Beautifully remodeled 3-bedroom, 2-bath farmhouse on 2.5 acres, offering the best of both worlds - a fully furnished, income-producing Airbnb STR with solid bookings, or a move-in-ready family retreat in one of Central Texas’s most sought-after school districts.
Enjoy an excellent location just 15 minutes from downtown Waco, combining peaceful country living with easy access to city conveniences, dining, and shopping - all within the top-rated China Spring ISD.
Inside, a sun-filled open-concept layout welcomes you with vaulted, wood-beamed ceilings, shiplap accents, and a chef’s kitchen featuring quartz countertops, crisp white cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances. The thoughtfully laid-out floor plan includes a beautifully updated primary suite with dual vanities and updated bath. The wood beams are carried throughout each of the secondary bedrooms creating a beautiful space.
Outside, the property truly shines — a detached, air-conditioned game room or office with foosball, ping pong, and arcade games offers flexible space for guests, kids, or remote work. Unwind on the screened back porch or covered rocking-chair front porch, gather around the fire pit, or soak in the private hot tub under mature shade trees.
Whether you’re seeking a turnkey investment property with proven rental history or a spacious, light-filled family home close to Waco, 1488 McGary Lane delivers on every level. Schedule your private showing today!
