Homes in Fair Oaks Ranch & Leon Springs

I'm Josue Mayfield, MRP, a licensed Texas Realtor and U.S. Marine Corps veteran with Big Bexar Realty Group, brokered by Real Broker, LLC. I live just up I-10 in Boerne, so Fair Oaks Ranch and Leon Springs are part of my regular drive. I help buyers and sellers here and across San Antonio and the Hill Country.

Here's a quick look at where these two areas are, some of their history, and how I can help.

About the area

Leon Springs is on Interstate 10 in northwest Bexar County, about 19 miles northwest of downtown San Antonio, near Boerne Stage Road. It's one of the older stops on the road northwest out of San Antonio: a stagecoach stop operated here in 1846, and a post office opened in 1857. The Aue Stagecoach Inn complex on Boerne Stage Road dates to about 1855 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Leon Springs is also where Rudy's Country Store and Bar-B-Q got its start. Rudolph Aue opened a filling station, garage and grocery here in 1929, and barbecue was added in 1989.

Northeast of the I-10 and Loop 1604 interchange is Camp Bullis, an Army training area of about 28,000 acres that's part of Joint Base San Antonio. During World War I, Leon Springs was the site of an officers' training camp.

A little farther up I-10, the City of Fair Oaks Ranch sits between Leon Springs and Boerne. It's an unusual city because it includes parts of three counties: Bexar, Kendall and Comal. The land was once Ralph Fair Sr.'s ranch, and the city was incorporated on January 21, 1988. Cibolo Creek runs through Fair Oaks Ranch, and Ralph Fair Road (FM 3351), Dietz Elkhorn Road and Fair Oaks Parkway are main routes in and around the city.

From here, I-10 heads northwest to Boerne and the Hill Country, and southeast toward Loop 1604 and the rest of San Antonio.

How I can help here

  • Buying: Homes along this stretch vary a lot, and the questions change from home to home, like which county and city it's in, utilities, deed restrictions or HOA rules. I'll help you sort through them step by step. Start with Buying a Home.
  • Selling: I'll lay out the process clearly and keep you updated from listing to closing. See Selling Your Home.
  • Moving on orders: Camp Bullis is right next door. If you're relocating with the military, see Military Relocation and PCS to San Antonio: Planning the Real Estate Side.

I'm not a mortgage lender, and I don't give loan advice. I work with trusted mortgage lenders who can answer those questions, including Joseph Hummel and Candice Easton, and you're always welcome to use any lender you choose.
