The Hill Country Land Buyer’s Checklist
A little more land starts with the right questions.
Inside your guide
A little knowledge. A lot more confidence.
Access and boundaries
Review the survey, recorded easements, road frontage, and title exceptions with your title company and attorney. A visible road does not establish legal access.
Restrictions and intended use
Read deed restrictions and applicable local rules. Confirm building, livestock, hunting, subdivision, and rental plans before committing.
Taxes and rights
Ask the appraisal district about current valuation and potential rollback consequences. Mineral and surface ownership can differ; use a qualified attorney for interpretation.
Infrastructure and budget
Obtain estimates for electricity, internet, fencing, roads, site preparation, and financing. Compare usable acres and improvements, not just price per acre.
