The property is located off FM 1978 just south of San Marcos High School off Hwy. 123 in San Marcos, Texas. The property is ideally positioned within a major growth corridor between Austin and San Antonio, offering outstanding flexibility for commercial, industrial, residential or mixed-use development. The property is fully entitled for 1,869 single family lots, having both water service agreements and wastewater agreements in place with the appropriate service providers. There is a Municipal Utility District that is in place providing reimbursement of the development costs. The MUD has been fully formed and has a tax rate in place.
