Lots and acreage near China Grove

Land this close to San Antonio is hard to find, and China Grove, only about 9 miles from downtown in southeast Bexar County, still has some. Many parcels here are filed under nearby mailing cities, so this page counts land listings within about 4 miles of town. About 20 are available in and around China Grove right now: twelve lots, six acreage tracts and two rural parcels.

Most are small. The median parcel is about a third of an acre, though roughly 30% of listings offer an acre or more. The median asking price is about $80,000, and the middle half runs from about $69,000 to $122,000.

Building lots versus small acreage

A lot inside an established area such as Green Acres, Knoll Ridge, Foster Acres or Mesquite Trail is usually aimed at a single home. Ask whether city water and sewer reach the lot or if a well and septic will be needed, because that changes your budget a great deal. The acreage tracts give more space for a shop, a garden or a few animals, subject to any deed restrictions and the rules of the city or county.

Questions to answer before closing

• Is the parcel inside China Grove city limits, and what zoning or permits apply?
• Does it have legal road frontage or only an easement for access?
• How far away is electric service, and what will the provider charge to extend it?
• Does any part of the tract sit in a floodplain along a creek?
• Is there an agricultural valuation that a change in use could affect?

Patience pays on land

Land moves more slowly than houses. The median listing has been on the market about 158 days, and none has taken a recent price cut, while about 15% are new this week. Sellers may hold firm on price but be flexible on terms such as a longer feasibility period.
