Property Description

🏡 0.51 Acre Residential Lot in Mercedes, TX – Comfort, Convenience & Long-Term Value

This is your chance to own over half an acre of buildable land in the thriving heart of Mercedes, TX. Tucked inside the established Old Rebel Heights subdivision, this 0.51 acre lot offers the perfect blend of rural peace and urban accessibility – ideal for building your dream home, placing a manufactured home, or holding as a long-term investment.

With electricity and public water available at the street, the infrastructure is already in place to jump-start development.

Commuting between these two cities is a breeze with quick access to I‑2/US‑83, making it easy to live in a quiet neighborhood while working, shopping, or playing in vibrant urban centers. You are also just 59 miles from South Padre Island, TX and 140 miles from Corpus Christi, TX.

You’ll also appreciate the proximity to Mercedes ISD schools, local parks, and the famous Rio Grande Valley Premium Outlets, not to mention cultural events like the RGV Livestock Show & Rodeo.
