The land around Luling
Gently rolling to flat terrain with sandy and clay soils, post oak and mesquite, and river bottom along the San Marcos. Tracts range from small town lots to large ranches.
How Luling got here
Luling boomed in the 1920s when a major oil field was discovered nearby, and oil remains a visible part of the town's identity. Decorative pump jacks line some streets, and active wells still dot the countryside. The town is also known for its annual watermelon festival and for an agricultural demonstration farm.
Land here has long been valued for both its surface use and its minerals, which makes title work especially important.
