29101 Mile 17 1/2 Rd , Edinburg, TX 78541(Hidalgo County)

PROPERTY: Located on 20 serene acres just outside Edinburg, this unrestricted ranch property is the perfect canvas for your dream home or recreational getaway. We just completed, in November 2025, a massive road improvement project for the property’s south access road too, so now you get the best of both worlds of elite privacy yet comfortable access. Boasting a mix of wooded terrain and cleared pad sites, it features essentials such as gated access, full perimeter fencing, a barn with livestock pen, a windmill-powered water well, and interior roads—ideal for genuine ranch living. Enjoy abundant wildlife, including deer and dove, right from your doorstep. With power available on the neighboring lot, extending electricity here will be cost-efficient and easy. This property sits along a deeded ranch road just a quarter-mile from paved FM 490, ensuring easy, legal access. With no floodplain concerns, cheap taxes, and close proximity to popular attractions like Lake Edinburg and South Padre Island, it’s an unparalleled opportunity to own affordable Texas ranch land in the peaceful southeast Texas countryside.

For Sale by Owner: We are investors, and are selling this lot For Sale By Owner. You do not need to submit your offer through a real estate agent, and in our experience we close transactions more quickly and easily by having our dedicated transaction coordinator work directly with the Title Company and Buyers. We will also both save money on commission/fees by cutting out agents as the middle men. However, if you feel strongly about working with a Realtor, then you’re welcome to have them contact us on your behalf.

Why Are You Selling It So Cheap? We are often asked why we price our properties at below market value, and the answer is really simple: because we can, and that’s our core business model. We are investors who purchase properties at a large volume and deeply liquidated rates, and by passing this discount on to our buyers, we can sell land quickly…and more of it. In fact, our average property only lasts 2-3 weeks on the market (vs. industry average of about 6 months).

Disclaimer: We attempt to provide detailed, accurate and up-to-date information in our listings, in order to help our buyers to the best of our ability. However, it ultimately remains the buyers responsibility to perform their own due diligence and double check any details that are of significant importance to you including acreage, utilities, buildability, and approved/allowable usage for the property. We are happy to help however we can.
