Built on the edge of the escarpment over Spring Lake natural area — one of six such areas in San Marcos — the Cole family home on Norcrest Street in Spring Lake Hills has panoramic views of the beautiful natural landscape between their property and the boundary of the natural area at Lime Kiln Road. Along with this impressive view, the Cole home enjoys a very quiet location, with the exception of coyotes vocalizing down in the canyon or occasional snippets of music from outdoor band practice at the nearby Texas State campus. This handsome home is Spring Lake Garden Club’s yard of the month for November.

A large motte of oaks shade mountain laurels and irises along driveway beside the house.
