The Ground Itself
What Kendall County actually is
Boerne anchors a county of limestone, live oak and spring-fed draws, close enough to San Antonio to commute and scenic enough that recreational buyers compete with residential ones for the same ground.
That competition shapes everything. Tracts here are generally smaller and dearer per acre than in the brush country, and the value drivers are different: elevation and view, tree cover, water features, and whether a property carries a valuation that can survive a change of ownership.
Wildlife management valuation matters a great deal in Kendall, because many owners here are not running livestock and have no wish to start. Converting and holding that valuation is often the difference between a property that works and one that becomes expensive to keep.
