Raw land sales for Gillespie county….
Moving onto land sales we are seeing about equal activity as last year but on smaller tracks of land. In 2024 and 2025 first quarter we’ve sold 22 raw land tracts in Gillespie County. But in 2024 that equated to 564.67 acres and for this year we’ve only sold 225.76 acres. so same number of individual transactions but a drop of 60.07% in the number of acres sold. Which of course shows up in the overall dollar sales, for 20 25 first quarter we’ve sold $8,775,436 of raw land in Gillespie County and for 2024 first quarter we had sold $11,668,772 a decrease of 24.53%. But here again Gillespie County is blessed with overall values remaining strong.
And for a quick breakdown of acreage segments as of Dec 30, 2024
1 to 5 acres -$59,947.80 per acre
6 to 10 acres – $34,874.39 per acre
11 to 25 acres -$34,874.39 per acre
26 to 50 acres -$26,777.77 per acre

101 to 250 acres – $17,298.84 per acre
250+ acres – $14,216.60 per acre
Then I have been tracking acreage sales on Highway 290 separately because that has become such a commercial product that I am not including those in the average price per acres I was just talking about. So the average price per acre for anything on Highway 290 for 2024 that number is $75,896.58 per acre
I also keep boot ranch numbers out of the general price per acre in the county but if you are curious the average price per acre in boot ranch which is usually a 1 to 5 acre tract is currently at $386,764,25 per acre which is why I don’t mix those sales into the usual averages
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.
