About This Property
A rare piece of Texas history, the TULETA GRADE SCHOOL, is being offered for sale. This landmark of South Texas stands as an extraordinary redevelopment opportunity for investors seeking a rare asset with unlimited potential. Built between 1938-1940 under the WPA this 5,603 sq. ft. stone structure was crafted from locally quarried native stone, giving it a level of permanence, texture and architectural presence impossible to replicate today. Set on 1.68 acre fronting Hwy 181, this property offers exceptional visibility, easy access and a commanding footprint ideal for transformation into a destination event venue, boutique retreat, creative studio or mixed-use commercial concept. Special details include a stately columned entrance with carved stone pediment, multiple chimneys rising above the roofline thick hand laid tone walls, and a dramatic symmetrical facade with timeless appeal. The arched walls made of stone and situated around the back of the building are another example of craftsmanship as is the AUDITORIUM Stone pediment. This is truly a gem!!! Located 70.5 miles from Corpus Christi, 77.8 miles to San Antonio and 53 miles to Victoria. 13.9 miles North of Beeville
