Alta Tierra Ranch is a 21.49± acre tract in Guadalupe County, Texas, suited for a homesite, continued cattle grazing, or both. Several practical steps toward development are already completed: an active water meter, connected metered electric, a graded homesite pad, and a septic system on site give this property a head start over comparable raw acreage. The tract sits entirely outside the mapped floodplain, carries an intact agricultural valuation with active cattle use, and comes with a current sealed boundary survey in hand.
Positioned between San Marcos and Seguin, south of Martindale, Alta Tierra Ranch lies approximately one mile northwest of State Highway 130 (Pickle Parkway). I-35 and downtown San Marcos are under 20 minutes away, with FM 621 and FM 20 serving as additional access corridors. The tract has 168.17± feet of frontage on Bylerpool Road, with a gravel drive running the full length of the property.
The tract is long and narrow, oriented southwest to northeast, and composed entirely of native pasture. The back portion is partially wooded with a drainage area along the southwest boundary, and a large live oak stands near the rear of the tract. The terrain is level to gently sloping, with elevations ranging from approximately 530 feet at the road frontage to 510-520 feet at the southwest boundary. No drainage corridor runs through the body of the tract. Surrounding parcels are in active cultivation.
Partial perimeter fencing is in place with two cross fences - wire along both long boundaries and the road line, with pipe and wrought iron near the drive entrance. No encroachments.
Working infrastructure on the tract includes two older barns, with steel working pens, a poultry pen, and a livestock trough also in place. A graded homesite pad with existing pier footings - remaining from a previously removed manufactured home - provides a ready site for a new structure.
An active water meter through Crystal Clear SUD and metered electric are connected at the site. A septic system is in place, subject to evaluation.
Seller conveys everything on the tract - all improvements, structures, and accessories, including barns, working pens, gates, livestock feeders and troughs, and the graded pad. Nothing is held back. The agricultural valuation is documented and intact. Minerals are negotiable. No restrictions.
