Commercial Real Estate and Land For Sale – Fredericksburg & Gillespie County
Save time with a local real estate broker who knows the real estate market!
Are you frustrated looking for a site for your business in Fredericksburg, TX, area? I am not surprised!
Very few commercial properties are available along Main Street each year. There is some new development both in the city limits and lots of new tracts of land coming available in the east of town where the majority of the wineries, vineyards and tasting rooms are located.
Here is a link to all the commercial listings in our local MLS, and you will quickly see that it is very limited, and includes a mix of property types. Let me assure you, there ARE other properties available!*

Many times the land for sale is not listed in any MLS. It’s a hot market in Fredericksburg, especially for retail, restaurant, winery, or lodging space. If you are not working with a local agent, such as myself, Melanie Lehmberg, you are not going to see everything that is available.
UPDATE– January 24, 2019- Big news! I have a pocket listing for a large tract just outside the city limits. This one has great access and visibility. Call me for more details!
Zoning, City Codes, and Permitting
If your business plan means finding property in the shopping district along Main Street’s “Magic Mile”, you will also need to understand our local ordinances and zoning regarding what type of businesses are allowed.
Anywhere in the city limits, the city will also want to have input before permitting a new building to make sure it fits with the “look” of Fredericksburg.
When you move outside the city limits, there are other regulations that are enforced by the county. In some cases, you may choose a location in the ETJ (Extra Territorial Jurisdiction), in which the county and city will want to know your plans for the property.
Working with A Local Realtor®
A local broker, such as myself, can “bird dog” available properties, and help you get in touch with the local authorities on everything you will need in planning your business location. This is a huge time saver!
I can also put you in touch with the Gillespie County Economic Development Commission. Tim Lehmberg, the Executive Director, has all sorts of data regarding Demographics, Traffic Counts, and Economic Reports for the area to help you with your business plans.
Doing business in Fredericksburg isn’t unreasonable, but many people come here with the misunderstanding that a small town doesn’t have or doesn’t enforce it’s rules and regulations. If you look around town, you can see that the city does a great job of preserving our small town German heritage along Main Street.
