WATER: One of the most tranquil, scenic bodies of water to be found anywhere, Meadow Lake, borders the site for about ¼ mile, offering the finest in fishing, boating and water enjoyment. This body of deep water is about 100 to 150 yards wide, and has a gentle soil bank lined with lily pads, cypress and pecan trees in a setting that is reminiscent of the best of the Old South.
Meadow Lake is not heavily used compared to others in the area, and is an impoundment of the legendary Guadalupe River. The property has recently been remapped by FEMA showing significant increase in flood plain acreage (70% of total), though historical data and on ground observation dispute that finding. Also, homes can be constructed relatively close to the water if they are properly elevated and permitted.

Two shallow alluvial irrigation wells are located on the site, one currently in use, which are pumped from the river gravel at shallow depth. There is also a rural water line running alongside the front of the property, offering potential for future development.
LAND: As one moves away from the waterfront, a riparian bottom dominated by towering pecans, oaks, elms and lush understory is prevalent. This area consists of clay soils, and could easily be “parked up” into a manicured appearance. It presently provides habitat for numerous deer & turkey, and allows for a quiet respite from the bustling community nearby.
Near the edge of the riparian bottom is a cool, hidden meadow of coastal Bermuda surrounded by the heavy forest. Just above this the land opens up into irrigated fields that currently produce 140 BU/acre sweet corn from the ultra-fertile loamy clay soils. This land is subject to irrigation from the above-noted alluvial wells by current farming tenant who has expertly tilled the soil.
IMPROVEMENTS: Other than the two shallow irrigation wells and some perimeter fencing, there are no improvements on the property. All utilities appear to be readily available on site, and a sewer main is nearby.
GENERAL: There are few parcels offering the combination of productivity, recreation and investment value that compare to this. Water frontage of the highest level in such a location is often priced far more than this opportunity, and upside appears to be significant. Value can be added with minimal additional investment, and the total investment is quite affordable for a wide segment of prospective owners. Come on over to Seguin, and play a little while your investment works for you!
