    Overview

    An opportunity to acquire the former Tuleta Grade School, a stone structure built between 1938 and 1940 under the WPA. The building includes a stately columned entrance with a carved stone pediment, thick hand-laid tone walls, and multiple chimneys rising above the roofline. The property also features a symmetrical facade with timeless detailing, including an auditorium stone pediment and arched stone walls located around the back of the building.

    The site is located at 8985 US Hwy 181, Tuleta, TX 78162, fronting US Hwy 181 on 1.68 acres. The frontage is intended to support straightforward access and strong visual presence from the highway. Driving distances provided include approximately 70.5 miles to Corpus Christi, 77.8 miles to San Antonio, and 53 miles to Victoria, with the property about 13.9 miles north of Beeville.

    Given the building’s prominent stone architecture and substantial, self-contained footprint, the property may suit investors or operators looking to convert the school into a destination-oriented concept. The layout and exterior features may support uses such as an event venue, boutique retreat, creative studio, or a mixed-use commercial redevelopment. Prospective buyers should confirm all intended uses and permitting requirements as part of their due diligence.
