5400 Gander Slough Rd, Kingsbury, TX 78638

Experience the best of Texas ranch living along the banks of the San Marcos River. This rare 75.46-acre property offers over 900 feet of river frontage, gently rolling pastures, and all the charm of a classic working ranch just minutes from San Marcos. Whether your vision is cattle ranching, hay production, weekend recreation, or simply owning a remarkable stretch of the river, 5400 Gander Slough Road delivers a lifestyle that’s as peaceful as it is full of potential. Corrected river frontage can be found via the GIS viewer on the county's site - what is feeding into the MLS and portals is incorrect.

The land is perfectly suited for grazing and hay production, with multiple Tipton 85 hay fields fertilized annually and a fertile river-bottom pasture ideal for livestock or family gatherings along the water. Shady live oaks and pecan trees dot the landscape, while stock tanks and cross-fencing make managing cattle rotation simple and efficient. The property also features gravel roadways to each area and city water—rare conveniences for rural acreage of this scale.

At the front of the ranch sits a solid 2,050 sq ft home on a 3-acre homestead. With strong bones and endless potential, it could serve as a comfortable residence, a guest home, or caretaker’s quarters while you craft your dream ranch retreat. Preliminary remodeling plans are available, allowing buyers to bring their own vision to life.

Mineral rights and royalties convey, enhancing the long-term investment value of this exceptional property.

Bring your cattle, your dreams, and your love for Texas land—because opportunities like this, along the storied San Marcos River, are few and far between.

Waterfront acreage is the defining asset at 5400 Gander Slough Rd, where 75.46 acres in the Kingsbury offer a scale and land profile that is increasingly difficult to find in Guadalupe County. Set in Kingsbury, TX 78638 and served by Luling ISD, this farm property combines a substantial land holding with a residential footprint that gives buyers immediate utility while preserving long-range flexibility. Leonard Shanklin, Gilbert Gerdes, and Luling High School anchor the school path, which matters for buyers weighing both lifestyle use and longer-term hold value.

At $1.20M, or $459 per square foot, the offering needs to be understood as more than a 3 bed, 2 bath, 1 half bath home with 2,617 square feet. The house, originally built in 1946, is part of a much broader land opportunity that includes waterfront, open pasture, and working-ranch functionality. The residence provides a practical base of operations, supported by a 2-car garage and two fireplaces, while the acreage does the heavier strategic work. This is the kind of property buyers evaluate by usability per acre, water access, and the ability to support multiple purposes over time, not just by interior finish level alone.

The remarks point to the real value driver: a meaningful stretch of San Marcos River frontage, with corrected frontage available through the county GIS viewer rather than relying on portal syndication data. That distinction matters. Accurate waterfront measurement directly affects how a rural holding is priced, how it is used, and how future buyers will assess scarcity. The land is described as suitable for grazing and hay production, with Tipton 85 hay fields fertilized annually, a fertile river-bottom pasture, stock tanks, cross-fencing, and gravel roadways serving different portions of the ranch. Mature live oaks and pecan trees add practical shade and character, and city water is a notable utility advantage for acreage at this scale.

With 152 days on market, buyers have had time to study the asset, which often sharpens the opportunity for those who understand what is actually rare here. This is not simply a country home with extra land. It is a waterfront farm holding with enough acreage, infrastructure, and flexibility to support cattle, hay, recreation, or a phased improvement plan tied to the existing residence. For a buyer focused on control of land, water, and future optionality, the positioning at 5400 Gander Slough Rd is clear and durable.
