Are you interested in homes for sale in Eagle Creek?

Eagle Creek Ranch  is a older large subdivision of about 1,000 home sites located about 10 miles north of Floresville, TX

It truly is country living with city convenience.

It is a subdivision with large lots with lots of trees and  parks and a riding trail.

Located in South Texas south of San Antonio  and  north of the town of Floresville in Wilson County

In the late 80s, Eagle Creek Ranch was one of the first subdivisions developed in Wilson County.  From the original acreage belonging to the former Governor John Connally it was divided into 2 to 10 acre lots. It quickly became a fast-growing area due to the appeal of having a home on small acreage in the county.  That is not to mention the very quick commute to San Antonio.   While there is one main street into the subdivision, there are several entrances on Hwy 181 and FM 775.  The subdivision sprawls over many acres as the original was over 2600 acres.   It is divided into 2 subdivisions:  Eagle Creek Ranch and Estates of Eagle Creek.  The Estates of Eagle Creek has their own HOA and deed restrictions and all their streets are off FM 775.  There are no mobiles allowed in the Estates of Eagle Creek while Eagle Creek Ranch allows mobiles in certain sections.

Can you imagine a commute to the center from San Antonio to your home that takes 20 minutes? Or from Randolph Brooks AFB area in less than 40 minutes?  Getting home from Boerne is about a 50-minute drive.  You will arrive home to a peaceful home on acreage before your co-workers are even home.  This location is full of wildlife. The home sites are covered with a variety of trees from the different types of oaks to hickory and mesquite.  Talk about a peaceful setting to sit in the yard with your evening beverage.  Or capture those animals on your cameras as they come out at night to roam. Those deer are not afraid of you. You can see turkey, squirrels, birds such as hawks and owls.  Then in the spring, the wildflowers are beautiful.

Enjoy your morning coffee as the quiet morning arrives.  Because the lots are so large, you can just enjoy the quiet sounds of nature.  Then when you have company there is plenty of room for those football games or even riding a 4 wheeler.

Eagle Creek subdivision has recreational areas for the residents to enjoy.  Visit the small lakes to relax and enjoy the walking trails or sit as you enjoy the view.  Take the children for a picnic or to fish.  The Estates of Eagle Creek have a riding trail for the homeowners to ride.

There is basically no traffic in the subdivision.  Leaving for work in the morning there are several access points for either Hwy 181 or FM 775 with little traffic to merge into.  San Antonio is about a 20-minute drive and Floresville a quick 15 minutes to grocery shop or pick up a quick meal. Wal Mart even faster.

Because Eagle Creek is located in the county and not the city it is a rural subdivision and is subject to the rules that pertain to building in a rural area. There are no deed restrictions from the city or the county other than things like the septic system; any other deed restrictions are determined by the subdivision developers.

There are no city services.  The homes are on septics with rural water and rural trash pickup and are not subject to recycling.  While the services are rural all homes are serviced by the same water company; trash pickup may be provided by different independent trash companies and septics are serviced by a company of choice.  Internet  service varies from area to area but is limited to location.  Most will have satellite internet such as Hughes Net, La Vernia Wifi, and others; some areas have Frontier DSL and ZipLink DSL and the Estates have some areas with GVEC so if internet service or speed is important to you that is one item you want to verify for any home you are looking at purchasing.

It is located in the highly desirable Floresville ISD.

The Eagle Creek  subdivision has a healthy sales activity every year.  While it is very popular and sales of pre-owned homes are brisk it does not have the activity that other subdivisions have as a % of the total number of subdivision homes.   People buy and stay.   The home values have steadily risen since its beginning years.   There is a fair amount of vacant lots but it is rare for one to come up for sale so when they do, there is a good possibility it will sell fast.
