Location
Located on US-80 (San Marcos Highway) in Caldwell County, 1 mile from downtown Luling, 15 miles from Lockhart, 24 miles from San Marcos, 42 miles from Austin, and 48 miles from San Antonio. Lake Travis is 52 miles to the northwest. The property sits at a practical midpoint between I-10 and SH-130, both within convenient reach, providing strong regional connectivity for future residents.
Land & Terrain
The combined tract is gently rolling with a mix of open pasture and native grasses, carrying classic Central Texas character with mature tree cover, natural water features, and a clean layout that translates well to residential development. The land is currently ag-exempt and carries a stocking ratio of 1.5 animals per acre, indicating productive, well-maintained ground. Low perimeter fencing and all-weather internal roads are in place across the combined acreage.
Improvements
Th...
The 220 acre tract includes a classic country home, an office and cottage, and multiple barns. The 57 acre tract includes a classic remodeled home and working cattle pens. Both tracts are functional in their current state and provide flexibility for a developer looking to phase the land or retain operational use during buildout. Infrastructure & Access Highway frontage along US-80 provides direct ingress and egress with multiple access points across both tracts. Utilities are in place, with fiber optics available at the road. A private well is on the property.
Remarks
Steans & Swain Ranches offers a well-positioned land holding for a residential developer or builder looking to capitalize on growth pressure between Austin and San Antonio. The US-80 frontage, existing improvements, utility infrastructure, and direct access to I-10 and SH-130 make this a practical, ready-to-move opportunity in an underserved growth market. The property is available as a combined 272 acres or as two separate tracts.
