Land Description
Owner Will down (plus the doc for 72 months (plus prorated taxes and note maintenance fee)
Just 25 minutes outside Horizon City, you'll find 9.87 acres of sun-baked Texas terra. It's desert seclusion under clear Texas skies, with sweeping desert vistas and blood-red sunsets. Develop now or secure a plot for the future. With the spread of census-designated areas in the wider El Paso metropolitan area, you could be getting in early on a winner.
This location provides a rustic setting for residential or commercial ventures. In your neck of the woods, you'll find The Franklin Mountains State Park, with 24,247 acres of scenic desert offering climbing, excellent hiking trails, wildlife, camping, and stunning mountain views. The 3 low laying mountains at Hueco Tanks are 40 minutes north and is another lovely setting for hiking, rock climbing, bird watching, and bouldering. With an average of 297 days of sun, you probably won't be indoors much.
So what would you do with 10 acres? There are no restrictions on the build, so let your imagination run wild. Build a self-sufficient cabin for weekend escapes, an eco-friendly farm, or perhaps a desert meditation retreat? Don't have a plan? You can park the RV, or simply use your plot as the ultimate private camping spot. Bring the Yurt tents, invite some friends and start your own version of Burning Man (you didn't get that idea from us though.).
Your lot is just 45 minutes outside of El Paso. The westernmost point of Texas evokes strong imagery, and it's a sunburnt landscape shaped by its Texan, Mexican and Pueblo Indian heritage. The art, architecture and of course cuisine is world-famous. There is a large military presence in El Paso with the Fort Bliss base located on the outskirts of the city. The University of Texas at El Paso is another major draw to the city. You'll enjoy rural seclusion, just a tumbleweed roll from civilization.
The property is accessible via a well-worn dirt road, with a few potholes (nothing you can't handle, we're sure). The lot is predominantly flat with a few sand berms, and you'll have lovely views of the Hueco Mountains to the north. It's classic desert style coverage as far as the eye can see, with low laying creosote and mesquite bushes. Water options could be from water haul and holding tank, or other similar option. There are no power lines nearby, so power could be solar (there is no shortage of that around here.), wind or generator.
If you're looking to secure a piece of the Texas desert, just a stone's throw from El Paso and Horizon City, this could be it. Texans are well known for their adventurous and independent spirit, and out in the desert, anything goes (almost). As they say, “Buy land, they're not making it anymore.” Just remember to bring appropriate footwear - boots. Leather. Rattlesnake proof ;).
