The land
This is about 19 acres of land in what the listing calls “the growing area of Columbus.” The appraisal district lists the tract at 18.95 acres, and the listing describes it as level. From the air you can see wooded strips alternating with cleared, open strips.
The listing also says the property may be divided. That gives you options: keep the whole tract, or talk with Angie about a smaller piece. Any split has to meet the local platting rules that apply (city, county or both, depending on the tract’s location), so confirm them early.
Frontage and visibility
This tract has road frontage on two sides: Hwy 71 E and County Rd 140/Montezuma. The listing calls out great visibility from I-10 and Hwy 71. Drivers on the Hwy 71 frontage road pass right by the land. The road surfaces are listed as asphalt and concrete.
Ask Angie about frontage lengths and existing access points. A new driveway onto a state highway may need a TxDOT permit.
Utilities
The listing says city utilities are available. Its utility fields show public water and public sewer, with electric, gas, cable and phone also listed as available. Buyers should confirm tap locations, capacity and connection fees with the City of Columbus and each provider.
Before you buy
The listing does not state zoning or a permitted use, so verify both with the City of Columbus and Colorado County before you plan anything specific. It also does not include flood information. Overhead power lines show along the roads in several photos, so ask Angie about any utility or drainage easements, and whether a survey is available. Buyers should review any seller disclosures, the survey (if available), the title commitment and current FEMA flood maps, and check elevations and drainage for their planned use.
Location and schools
The land is in Columbus, in Colorado County, and is zoned to Columbus ISD: Columbus Elementary, Columbus Junior High and Columbus High School. Buyers should confirm school assignments with the district.
