Questions for any Bulverde-area tract

Most lots here are meant for a single home, so start with what the subdivision allows: minimum house size, building materials, outbuildings and livestock. Then confirm utilities. Some neighborhoods have water service, while others depend on a private well, and nearly all rural homesites need a septic system designed for the soil and rock on that lot. Ask about the cost of bringing electricity to the building site, check flood maps near creeks, and have a survey show the access road and any easements. Larger acreage may carry an agricultural or wildlife valuation, and changing the use can trigger rollback taxes. The Rothrock Realty Team can walk a tract with you and help line up surveyors and septic designers during the option period.
