About this property
Located near the historic community of Kingsbury, this exceptional 53.28 acre ranch offers a rare combination of privacy, usability, investment potential, and convenient access to two of Texas' fastest-growing metropolitan areas. Positioned approximately 42 miles from Downtown Austin and 47 miles from Downtown San Antonio, the property presents an outstanding opportunity for a future homestead, weekend retreat, recreational ranch, or long-term land investment within the rapidly expanding Central Texas corridor. The ranch features a clean and highly usable layout with level topography, productive pastureland, scattered mature trees, and multiple surface water features. With approximately 20 feet of elevation change across the property, the land offers subtle character while remaining easily traversable and functional for livestock, recreation, or future improvements. A standout feature of the ranch is the collection of large legacy oak trees near the front of the property, creating an exceptional setting for a future homesite while adding shade, aesthetics, and long-term natural value to the landscape. Four ponds are positioned throughout the ranch, providing reliable water sources for both wildlife and livestock. Supported by Kingsbury's average annual rainfall of approximately 35 inches, the ponds have historically remained near full levels throughout much of the year. The property also includes an existing 1,356 square foot residence originally constructed in 1950, offering potential for renovation, rental income, weekend use, or future expansion. Whether utilized as a primary residence, recreational getaway, or buy-and-hold land investment, the ranch offers the increasingly difficult combination of manageable acreage, low carrying costs, surface water, wildlife habitat, and a strategic location between Austin and San Antonio.

About the Area
430 Watts Rd is located in Kingsbury, Texas, in Guadalupe County. Guadalupe County anchors the fast-growing corridor between San Antonio and Austin, centered on Seguin, one of the oldest Anglo settlements in Texas, founded in 1838 and named for Juan Seguín, the Tejano hero of the Texas Revolution. The county blends deep Texas history with explosive modern growth driven by its position between two of America's largest metro economies.
The Guadalupe River flows through the heart of Guadalupe County, providing river frontage properties and water recreation within easy reach of San Antonio. Lake Gonzales and Meadow Lake provide additional water amenities. The terrain transitions from the limestone hills of the western county to the rich blackland prairie soils of the east, which have supported agriculture since the earliest Anglo settlements.
Kingsbury had an estimated population of 186 as of 2023. The 78638 zip code has a median household income of $82,760, a median home value of $301,500, and a median age of 43.9. The average household size is 2.75 people.
Guadalupe County is one of the fastest-growing counties in Texas, driven by San Antonio and Austin metro expansion, major manufacturing including the massive Toyota truck plant in nearby San Antonio, and a surging residential real estate market. Seguin's industrial base includes significant advanced manufacturing alongside the growing bedroom community residential sector serving both metro areas.
