Nestled on over 2.6 acres in the peaceful countryside of Marion, TX, 6160 FM 2538 offers a truly unique blend of rural tranquility, historic character, and modern upgrades. This beautifully maintained 3bedroom, 2bathroom home showcases an openconcept layout with abundant natural light, stylish finishes, and authentic 1920s craftsmanship rarely found today. Originally constructed in the 1920s and relocated from Hemlock Street in downtown San Antonio during the 1940s, the home proudly features restored longleaf pine hardwood floors, original wavypane antique glass windows with storm protection, and durable 12inch tongueandgroove wood plank construction. The master bedroom displays the stamped original wood ceiling from the Petrich Saur Lumber Co., a testament to its architectural legacy. Custom Craftsmanstyle builtins, rich wood trim, and periodaccurate details add timeless warmth to the living and dining spaces. A thoughtful and extensive renovation, with an estimated investment of approximately $145,800, has modernized this historic treasure while preserving its character. Highlights include James Hardie fiber cement siding with exterior insulation and warranties, a covered 11' x 28' front porch, brick skirting, and a 22' automatic entry gate with secondary manual gate and metal fencing for enhanced security. Energyefficient upgrades such as opencell attic spray foam insulation, PEX plumbing, UVblocking windows, and a 9 GPM tankless water heater provide comfort and peace of mind. The bathrooms, kitchen, and interior finishes have all been refreshed, complemented by a professionally serviced fireplace and beautifully restored original ceilings, walls, and woodwork. Beyond the home, a spacious 1,200squarefoot workshop with full power and a 50amp RV hookup is ready to support hobbies, equipment, or more serious projects. The acreage includes over 300 feet of private, springfed Cibolo Creek frontage with deeded water rights to the creek's centerline - perfect for fishing, swimming, kayaking, or simply relaxing by the water. Per the sellers, there are no restrictions on the property, along with the ability to add multiple homes if desired. This offers incredible flexibility for multigenerational living, investment opportunities, or agricultural use. Surrounded by mature trees, wideopen fields, and panoramic views, this property promises unmatched privacy and inspiring natural scenery. Conveniently located near Seguin, San Antonio, and major highways, 6160 FM 2538 combines country serenity with modern accessibility. More than just a house, it is a rare piece of South Texas history - carefully restored, thoughtfully upgraded, and ready to deliver a lifestyle of peace, possibility, and timeless charm.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
