About Duval County land
Duval County sits in the heart of the South Texas Brush Country, with San Diego as its county seat and Freer a key hunting and oilfield town. Freer is about 125 miles south of San Antonio and 80-some miles west of Corpus Christi, putting the markets within a 2–3-hour drive. The terrain is nearly level to undulating (250–800 feet), dominated by mesquite, brush, and prickly pear.
The climate is semi-arid (about 24 inches of rain), with water drawn largely from the Gulf Coast Aquifer plus stock tanks. The county is legendary for hunting — the South Texas Plains are known for mature whitetail bucks and above-average antler quality, alongside bobwhite quail, dove, javelina, hog, and nilgai. Roots run through cattle ranching, a historic oil boom, and a deep deer- and quail-hunting culture — home of Freer's renowned Muy Grande Deer Contest.

What to know before buying in Duval County
Owner financing, no bank
We finance Duval County tracts directly — a down payment and monthly payments to us, with no bank qualification. Down payment, rate, and term are set per tract, so ask for current figures.
Surveyed, with deeded access
Every tract is surveyed with deeded access on graded ranch roads, so boundaries and entry are settled before you buy.
Light restrictions
Sensible restrictions protect value while keeping recreational, hunting, and homestead use open — no heavy HOA-style rules.
Ag & wildlife tax valuation
Much rural land here carries an agricultural or wildlife-management property-tax valuation that keeps annual taxes low. Confirm the current use and exemptions for any tract with the county appraisal district.
