Lots and acreage in Santa Clara, TX

Santa Clara land listings: lots, acreage and prices

Santa Clara is a small Guadalupe County city between Marion and Cibolo, about 23 miles from downtown San Antonio. Land near it is listed under Cibolo, Marion, New Braunfels and Seguin addresses, so these figures take in parcels within about 7 miles. About 24 are for sale in and around Santa Clara today.

The mix tilts toward lots: about 14 lots, 8 acreage tracts and 2 rural parcels. The median size is about a quarter acre, yet roughly 42% of listings offer an acre or more, so there is a real split between subdivision lots and country land. Prices follow that split, with a median of about $132,000 and a middle half from about $50,000 to $342,000.

Two kinds of buyer

Buyers who want a lot in a planned community will find most of the choices in Saddle Creek Ranch and Scenic Hills, along with single lots in Northcliffe and Hillside Estates. Those looking for space lean toward tracts in Ranchland Estates, Karlyn Ranch, Comal Farms and unplatted rural land. The first group should study the builder rules and HOA; the second should focus on water, septic and access.

Due diligence on a rural tract

• A current survey with easements and setbacks marked
• Water source: supply corporation tap or well
• A septic site evaluation before closing
• Electric service location and extension cost
• Whether the land has an ag or wildlife valuation

Pace and approach

Land near Santa Clara has been listed a median of about 131 days, and only about 4% of listings have reduced their price. That suggests sellers expect to wait for full value. JBSA-Randolph is about 9 miles away, which makes a homesite here practical for military families who plan to build.
