Land 4 sale El Peso area (El Paso, Alpine: for sale, buying, subdivisions)

[luv my harleys]

Hey,Ive been trying to find some land for sale down there,somewhat remote,but not desert ground,someplace with possible water prospects,5-40 acres,preferably on or very close to pavement.Sort of a winter respite,maybe eventually retirement. Been watching on E Bay but am sure what all the realtors are selling is price inflated for what they are selling Anybody know anybody who would like to part with some of their Texas soil??

Not much land like that left. What's left has been bought up by housing developers who plan to build crowded subdivisions. You might try southern New Mexico or you'd have to go with desert if you want acres. There is only a little green space left in either valley (not desert) and that is still used for farming. Otherwise try near Clint or Horizon if it has to be in Texas and more than 1 or 2 affordable acres.

I might add -- if you want a little ranchette but one that is somewhat affordable, you can be fairly near El Paso by buying near Anthony, New Mexico. The prices you see for green acres are real, partly because it exists only along the river in the river valleys, once you cross the state line, its a little better plus the property taxes aren't nearly as bad. Same on the other side of town, what's called the Lower Valley, because this city has expanded very far out, you pretty much have to be out of El Paso and into some other town.

OK thanks,I'm not really interested in being in El Peso or any town just in the area. I've found land down around Terlingua,anybody know anything about that?

I just know it's over there by Big Bend Park and the River. Not too many people out that way, I know people who moved to Alpine and liked it and I would imagine land is affordable over there. You'd have to like small towns.

Go to Google maps if you want an idea of how remote it is, and the terrain.

Thanx,Yeah I like small town,lived in one all my life here in Nebraska.This winter was a looonnng one and the older I get the more miserable the winters seem.I guess puttting my question to the El Peso area wasnt in the right place as almost no responses,I just thought somebody might have a uncle,cousin or just know somebody that knows somebody that might have some land within 500 miles or so of the metro.Ive researched the BIG Bend area and thats kinda what Im lookin for,tho possibly a little too remote.

Good luck on your search, I think if you didn't mention the potential of water, you'd have got more responses, if you don't mind semi-desert then there are acres available that are affordable, and even 5-40 acres. There just isn't much 5-40 acres near El Paso that would be what you'd call affordable or with water. Horizon, Clint, Chaparral, Anthony are small more affordable towns near enough to El Paso though.
