Average price per acre for Ranches and land values in Fredericksburg Texas
Raw land sales continue to struggle for the same reasons I mentioned that the rural residential is doing well. Building material costs and labor are really making folks take a hard look at if they want to build right now. In 2025 we sold 78 individual tracks of land for the first 3/4 of the year and for 2026. That number is 59 individual listings that have traded hands. So that’s down about 24.3%. And acres that equates to 2071 acres selling in 2026 and 2234 acre selling in 2025 so that’s down about 7.29%
1 to 5 acres average price per acre $72,701.14 

( 11 Transactions / price up over last year )
6 to 10 acres average price per acre $40,193.17
( 11 Transactions / price up over last year )
11 to 25 acres average price per acre $20,461.25
( 13 Transactions / price down from last year )
26 to 50 acres average price per acre $13,032.66
( 5 Transactions / price down from last year )
51 to 100 acres average price per acre $16,796.18
( 13 Transactions / price down from last year )
101 to 250 acres average price per acre $27,245.81
( 3 Transactions / price up from last year / 2 live water tracts )
250+ acres average price per acre $9,935.58
( 13 Transactions / price down from last year )
So as you can see, it was a pretty tough year for the raw land market in Gillespie County. Just not enough demand for everything that’s currently for sale which certainly made the average price per acre and most segments decrease. But that said I’m not overly worried about Land sales. It was a tough year but as old saying goes, they’re not making any more of it so I’m sure that will rebound fairly quickly in the next year or two.
And for any one curious the average price at Boot Ranch is at $319,508.95 per acre at the end of 2025
.
And the average price for a city lot is at $213,544 in Q3 of 2026
And property on Hwy 290 East which was a real hot commodity back a few years ago has really slowed..We only had one land sale on 290 E. in 2024and in 2025 we had no land only sells on 290 E.
When you look at the chart above is easy to think you have a complete picture of the land and ranch market in Gillespie County. But just looking at the average price per acre of everything that has sold can be misleading. All land is not created equal. One must take into account where the majority of the land was sold in a certain year.
