Room to Build Without Managing a Big Ranch

Small acreage gives you space, privacy, and a place to build without the upkeep of hundreds of acres. Many of these tracts are in Atascosa, Medina, Wilson, and Bexar counties, close enough to San Antonio for a daily commute.

Utilities, road access, and deed restrictions vary from tract to tract, so each property description lists what is at the road today and what a buyer would need to add. Looking for more room for livestock? See our Farms & Homesteads page.
