— bed, — bath on 7.75 acres in Spring Branch. Spring Branch, TX 78070. $2,600,000. Comal ISD.
Commercial and investment opportunity located along the high-traffic US Highway 281 corridor in Spring Branch, Texas. This property offers excellent highway frontage, visibility, and access, making it suitable for a variety of commercial or mixed-use uses, subject to zoning and approvals.
Situated in a growing area north of San Antonio, the property benefits from increasing traffic counts, nearby residential development, and proximity to Hill Country communities and the San Antonio metro area. The site provides convenient access for customers, deliveries, and commuters and is well-positioned for long-term growth.
Potential uses may include retail, office, medical, service-oriented businesses, storage, contractor operations, or redevelopment opportunities. Buyer to verify zoning, permitted uses, utilities, and development requirements.
Strategic location along a major north–south transportation route serving both commuter and tourist traffic.
7.752 acres on one of the busiest commercial corridors in northern Comal County is the fact that defines 13970 US Highway 281 N from day one. At 13970 US Highway 281 N in Spring Branch, TX 78070, the opportunity is not about a finished structure. It is about frontage, visibility, and control of land along a stretch of US Highway 281 that continues to absorb Hill Country growth.
Priced at $2.60 million after 61 days on market, this unimproved land tract works out to roughly $335,400 per acre, or about $7.71 per land square foot. There are no bed, bath, or interior square footage figures because this is raw land, and there is no year built to factor into the analysis. That puts the focus where it belongs: access, development potential, traffic exposure, and the long-term economics of owning a sizable site on a major north-south route.
For buyers asking what it is like to own land here, the answer starts with movement and proximity. US Highway 281 is the spine that carries daily commuter traffic, Hill Country tourism, and regional service demand between San Antonio, Bulverde, and Spring Branch. State Highway 46 and FM 306 extend that reach toward Canyon Lake and the broader recreation market. Guadalupe River State Park is also part of the local pull, bringing weekend traffic and adding another layer of visibility for any future commercial use. That matters for retail, office, medical, contractor, storage, service, or mixed-use concepts, subject to zoning, utilities, and county requirements that a buyer should verify in detail.
The surrounding context supports the location. This property sits in Comal ISD, with Rebecca Creek Elementary, Spring Branch Middle School, and Smithson Valley High School serving the area. Even for a commercial land buyer, those school assignments tell you something real about the growth pattern around the site. They reflect established neighborhoods, expanding rooftops, and a population base that keeps pushing commercial demand north along Highway 281.
Spring Branch is no longer a pass-through market. It is part of the Hill Country growth story, with residential expansion, stronger traffic counts, and more pressure on well-located land with direct road presence. A tract of this size on US Highway 281 gives a buyer room to think beyond a single use and position for the next phase of Spring Branch value growth as the corridor keeps maturing.
