Less Home to Maintain. More Land to Enjoy.

Some properties offer more square footage. Others offer more freedom. At 1708 W Main Street in Gatesville, Texas, you'll find a thoughtfully updated 2-bedroom home situated on two beautiful acres beneath mature oak trees. With comfortable interior living, a generous covered back porch, and room to enjoy the outdoors, this property offers a refreshing alternative to maintaining a larger home all within the Gatesville city limits.

For buyers searching for a home with acreage in Gatesville, the combination of an updated residence, city utilities, and two acres offers a distinctive opportunity. Rather than starting with vacant land, you have a comfortable home already in place, along with acreage that provides flexibility for outdoor activities and potential future improvements, subject to applicable city requirements.

Thoughtfully Updated with a Floor Plan That Lives Larger

Don't let the square footage fool you. This charming 896-square-foot home makes exceptional use of its space, with an open, functional floor plan that feels surprisingly comfortable.

The living area flows naturally into the eat-in kitchen, which features granite countertops, abundant cabinetry, a built-in microwave, electric range, and vent hood. There's plenty of storage and room for dining without sacrificing valuable living space.

Both bedrooms are generously sized, comfortably accommodating larger beds, dressers, and bedside tables. The renovated bathroom features granite countertops and a tub/shower combination with an attractive tile surround.

Additional features and improvements include updated vinyl flooring, a new electric water heater, central electric heating and air conditioning, ceiling fans, and a composition-shingle roof installed approximately five years ago, according to the seller's disclosure.

Originally built in 1950 on a pier-and-beam foundation, the home combines traditional cottage charm with thoughtful interior updates.

Two Beautiful Acres Beneath Magnificent Oak Trees

The outdoor setting is where this property truly distinguishes itself.

Mature oak trees provide beautiful shade across the carefully maintained yard, where lush St. Augustine grass creates an inviting green space surrounding the home. The exceptional care given to the grounds earned the property Gatesville's Yard of the Month recognition in 2026.

The acreage offers opportunities to enjoy the natural surroundings, observe birds and wildlife, garden, or explore possibilities for additional outdoor improvements.

The backyard includes chain-link and privacy fencing, while the remaining acreage provides additional open space. The property is zoned residential single-family and is outside the mapped FEMA floodplain.

For buyers considering a workshop, barn, garden, or other improvements, the acreage offers possibilities worth exploring with the City of Gatesville regarding permitted uses, setbacks, utilities, and construction requirements.

A Covered Back Porch That Extends Your Living Space

One of the home's most appealing features is its full-length covered back porch.

With ample room for an outdoor dining table on one end and a comfortable sitting area on the other, the porch creates an inviting extension of the interior living space.

Imagine enjoying your morning coffee beneath the shade of the surrounding oak trees, listening to the birds, or spending a quiet evening overlooking the property.

It's the kind of outdoor living area that makes a smaller home feel considerably more spacious.

Practical improvements add even more convenience. A detached, well-built two-vehicle carport provides covered parking, while an oversized storage building offers ample space for lawn equipment, tools, and recreational gear.

Just inside the back entrance, the laundry room includes washer and dryer connections along with shelving for additional storage.

The Convenience of Gatesville with Room to Enjoy the Outdoors

Located on West Main Street along Highway 84, this property provides the convenience of living within the Gatesville city limits while enjoying the space and natural beauty of two acres.

Shopping, dining, schools, and everyday amenities are just minutes away.

With city water, sewer, and electric service, no HOA, and paved highway frontage, the property combines practical everyday convenience with the benefits of having additional land.
