In South Texas brush country, La Salle County is anchored by Cotulla, its county seat. Established in 1858, it was historically a ranching area and later saw oil and gas development. Today, it’s a strongly rural county, with Cotulla providing schools, shops, and services. Housing includes modest homes in Cotulla, ranch properties, and manufactured housing. San Antonio is about 85 miles north. Prices are modest: most homes sell $100,000–$180,000, while ranchland—popular for hunting—ranges $2,500–$6,000 per acre. Buyers are typically ranchers, hunters, and oilfield investors.
