Property Description
Overview
The Heusinger Ranch presents an investment/development opportunity that provides the scale and location for a landmark development in an area seeing a tremendous amount of new construction as well as an infrastructure transformation. Conveniently located adjacent to the TXDOT highway widening project of I-10 and the construction of the new overpass bridge at Santa Clara Road, the property is also near four planned residential developments that are in the Marion ETJ. Located only 30 miles east of San Antonio and 13 miles west of Seguin, the Heusinger Ranch is ideally situated and primed for current or future development.

Area Highlights
The Heusinger Ranch is located in the high-growth Marion area along the I-10 corridor between San Antonio and Seguin. Access to the ranch is 1.2 miles from I-10 via Santa Clara Road to Ebert Rd. The property also enjoys access directly from the property to the frontage road of I-10. Approved developments within the City of Marion ETJ include 4 residential developments that will add an additional 3,500 residential lots. The 545-acre adjacent property to the north has been purchased with plans for 2,000+ residential lots, and the 125-acre adjacent property to the south (San Antonio Raceway) has been purchased with plans for redevelopment. The I-10 expansion project that runs from the Bexar/Guadalupe County line to the FM 465 intersection was started in 2023 and has a projected completion date in Spring 2026. The scope of this project includes widening I-10 from four to six lanes, with a 2-lane access road on both sides. The scope also includes redeveloping the Santa Clara intersection and the current overpass so that I-10 traffic will flow over Santa Clara Road.
Upon completion, this improved road infrastructure will offer enhanced accessibility, benefiting both residents and investors. With the plans in place for the Marion ETJ to become a residential hub, this property is ideal for a large-scale development with green spaces, amenities and various housing options. The local sewer infrastructure was recently expanded including a new sewer line that runs N/S along the propertys eastern boundary. This is a unique opportunity to tap into a high-demand area and capitalize on Marions ongoing expansion.
