10 Windmill Ranchettes CR 329, Jourdanton

Land usually costs less per acre as the tract gets bigger, and Windmill Ranchettes shows it. Tract 10 is 12.44 acres at $161,720, which is $13,000 an acre. The 4-acre tracts in the same subdivision run over $22,000 an acre.

What the lower per-acre price buys you is room. The land is level, the tract has its own drive, and the listing shows it free of easements. It's a few miles from the middle of Jourdanton, so groceries, restaurants and a doctor's office are still close.

Restrictions are described as minimal. Minimal isn't none, so get a copy and read it, then get a survey before you set a house pad. James Peterson ALC with UC Ranch Properties handles this tract. (210) 740-1295.
