Lots and acreage in Seguin, TX

Seguin-area land: acreage, prices and what to check

Seguin, the Guadalupe County seat on the Guadalupe River, sits along I-10 about 33 miles east of downtown San Antonio. The listing feed behind this page carries only a slice of the land around Seguin under the Seguin name, so the figures count parcels within about 12 miles of town. Right now that sample holds about 8 tracts in and around Seguin, which is a small window on a much larger area.

Most are acreage. The median parcel is about 3.2 acres, and about three out of four listings are an acre or more. The median asking price is about $210,000, and the middle half sits between about $164,000 and $342,000.

Where these parcels are

The current tracts are spread across Sauder Farms, Dove Crossing, Ranchland Estates, Elm Creek and rural surveys toward Santa Clara. ZIP codes 78130, 78121, 78124 and 78108 all appear, and the parcels fall into Marion, La Vernia, Comal, New Braunfels and Seguin ISD. Because the search reaches well beyond the city, confirm the county services and school district for each tract.

Homesite, hobby farm or investment

A few acres outside Seguin can support a house with a barn, a garden and some livestock, or be held as a long-term investment as the I-10 corridor grows. Each goal calls for different checks. A homesite buyer needs water, septic suitability and power. A buyer who wants animals should read deed restrictions closely. An investor should look at road frontage, floodplain and any agricultural valuation.

River and creek frontage

• Order a survey showing the floodplain boundary
• Ask your lender and insurer what a flood zone means for a future home
• Check whether septic and building setbacks leave a usable homesite
