Lots and acreage in McQueeney, TX

Buying land in the McQueeney area

McQueeney, the lake community on the Guadalupe River between Seguin and New Braunfels, has a modest amount of land for sale under its own name. The MLS spreads nearby parcels across Seguin, New Braunfels, Cibolo and Marion addresses, so these figures count land within about 12 miles. Measured that way, about 43 parcels are listed in and around McQueeney.

Most are building lots: about 30 lots, 11 acreage tracts and a couple of rural parcels. The median size is about 0.31 acre, and about a third of listings reach an acre or more. The median asking price is about $180,000, but the middle half spans about $106,000 to $447,000, since a lake or river lot and a larger tract command far more than an interior lot.

Subdivision lots to compare

Saddle Creek Ranch has the most lots on the market, followed by Scenic Hills and River Enclave. Single parcels are also listed in Sauder Farms, Dove Crossing, Ranchland Estates and Hillside Estates. Subdivision lots often come with builder requirements, minimum square footage and architectural review, so read the restrictions before you choose a floor plan.

Building near the water

• Get a survey that shows the floodplain line and the elevation of the buildable area
• Ask what the county requires for permits and septic setbacks near the shoreline
• Confirm who owns and maintains any shoreline, dock or shared access
• Check whether water service is available or a well is needed
