The median tract is about 1.4 acres, and about 63% of listings offer an acre or more. The median asking price is about $125,000, with the middle half between about $70,000 and $220,000. Acreage tracts and lots are listed in roughly equal numbers, plus a few rural parcels.

Subdivisions with land on the market

Restricted acreage subdivisions set rules on home size, manufactured housing, animals and fencing. Unrestricted rural tracts allow more, but neighbors can do the same, so weigh both sides.

• Woodbridge Farms, with the most current listings
• Lake Valley Estates and Triple R Ranch
• Sutherland Springs New Town and Hickory Hills
• Twin Lakes, Dove Crossing and Oak Hollow Estates

Getting a tract ready to build

Budget for more than the land. Drilling a well or tapping a water supply corporation, installing a septic system designed for the soil, bringing in electricity and building a driveway can add up quickly. Ask for any existing well logs, septic permits or utility estimates, and check floodplain maps if the tract is near the creek. If you plan to keep an agricultural valuation, learn what use is needed to keep it.

Schools and timing

La Vernia ISD covers about half of the listed parcels, with Floresville ISD and Stockdale ISD splitting most of the rest. Land here has been listed a median of about 115 days, and about 7% of listings are new this week.
