Five acres of old oaks behind the gate at Old 32 Ranch, fifteen minutes from Canyon Lake. The clearing is already done, $13,500 of work with the invoice available, and there's no deadline to build, so you can own it now and break ground whenever you're ready. The agricultural valuation is in place, which is why this year's property tax came to $7.27. It's quiet out here. The kind of quiet where you hear birds in the morning and nothing else. At night there's no glow from anywhere, so the stars are the whole sky. There are two good places to put a house, and they give you two different lives. Up on the hill, where the ground levels off and you can see a long way across the country. Or down in the oaks, tucked into the shade with the big trees around you. Either one works. It just depends on what you want to wake up to. The cedar was mulched out a few years back and every oak left standing, so what's there now is big spreading oaks with clean ground underneath and it's easy to get around on. It sits back in the quiet part of the neighborhood, well off the farm road, on a corner with two roads to choose a driveway from. There's room for a second little house, 700 to 1,500 square feet, for guests or a workshop. The neighborhood is filling in with custom homes, and every house here has to be masonry and set well back from the road. That's in the deed. Canyon Lake is fifteen minutes. Wimberley, Gruene, New Braunfels, and Fredericksburg are all an easy Saturday. San Antonio and Austin about an hour. Comal ISD. Buyer keeps the agricultural qualifying use going. Comal County, no city or MUD taxes. Electric at the road, buyer sets up service. Well and septic to be installed by buyer. Property owners association. Plat, deed restrictions, bylaws, and road maintenance agreement available. List price is below the 2026 Comal CAD market value of $280,420.
