Property Description
A Unique Opportunity in Santa Clara, TX - 5.2 Acres with Historic Home Shell and Room to Build Your Vision. Tucked away in the small, growing city of Santa Clara, Texas, this 5.2-acre property offers a rare blend of history, character, and untapped potential. Whether you're looking for a peaceful homestead, a hobby farm, or a unique location for a future commercial venture, this property provides a solid foundation; literally and figuratively, for your vision. The home on site is over 1,300 square feet and fully completed on the exterior. A recent renovation includes a new galvanized standing seam roof, Monterrey taupe-colored Hardie Plank siding, seamless gutters with rainwater drainage, and quality Pella windows. A set of French doors at the back opens onto a small deck, framing a view of the expansive land behind one of the many places where this home quietly shines. Inside, the home has been fully framed but left unfinished, allowing a new owner to complete the interior to their own standards and style. The layout can easily support a three-bedroom, two-bath design. A new 200-amp electrical service has already been installed, and the main city water line has been brought directly to the home. Fiber internet is also available. The only remaining major infrastructure need is the installation of a septic system, which will be the responsibility of the buyer. The land itself is equally compelling. Most of the acreage stretches out behind the house and includes a natural quarter-acre tank that retains water year-round, except in cases of severe drought. Two older barns currently serve as storage for hay and lumber and could be repurposed or rebuilt depending on your goals. A vintage grain bin sits near the rear of the property and has become a seasonal nesting spot for a pair of vultures; a charming, authentic piece of country life that adds to the land's personality. Every building on the property carries its own story, starting with the home itself. The original portion of the house was relocated from San Antonio in the 1940s to become a homestead for Mr. Tschirhart, the man who later brought drinking water to the Santa Clara area. In the 1990s, a large addition was constructed, offering more space for a growing family. The result is a property that blends history with possibility. The setting provides both seclusion and convenience. With the nearest neighbor over 600 feet away and farmed fields to the west and north, privacy is a given. To the east, pastureland dotted with cattle completes the rural setting. Yet, within just five minutes you'll find access to I-35, and from there, it's a quick drive to New Braunfels, San Antonio, or the amenities of Cibolo and Marion. Beyond its residential potential, this property may also be a fit for small-scale commercial or mixed-use purposes. Its location and road access could make it ideal for a business headquarters, event space, workshop, or other venture, pending any necessary zoning approval or permitting. The area is rich with small-town charm. Local favorites include the Kindling Texas Kitchen for date nights, Souffle Cafe for a quiet Sunday brunch, Helping Hand Hardware in downtown Marion, and Penshorn's Meat Market, known for its beef jerky and signature pinwheel steaks. If you're looking for a property with roots, personality, and room to grow, this might just be the place to start your next chapter.
