About Texas Ranchland

Owning a place in the country is the dream of many Texans and visitors alike. And it’s no wonder. The Texas Hill Country offers majestic views, wildflower-covered meadows, abundant wildlife, tree-covered hills and sparkling spring-fed creeks and rivers.

The Hill Country extends from north of Austin near Lake Buchanan, south and west through San Antonio, and on to Uvalde, and Del Rio on the Mexican border. Quaint, historic settlements like Bracketville and Fredericksburg attract visitors and supply area farms and ranches. And properties around Junction, Kerrville and Llano are known for trophy deer hunts and river sports.

Living in the Country

According to the Texas A&M Real Estate Center, strong demand for rural recreational properties and investor-buyers pushed the average price per acre of Texas rural land up 17 percent in 2005. The average price per acre of Texas rural land in 2005 was $1,490, up from $1,274 in 2004. Even so, Texas land prices are still a value compared to those in other states, according to A&M’s study.

Whether your dream is recreational property, a working ranch or a weekend getaway, Turnquist Partners can help make your dream come true.
