Hudspeth County, Texas
Land Description
Hudspeth County is one of our favorite places. It's in far west Texas between El Paso County to the west and Culberson County to the east. This is a beautiful area. The air is clean, the water is clear, and there is basically no pollution and no crime here. The sunsets are as beautiful as you will ever see. The night sky is so clear you will be amazed by how many stars you can see.
The attitude is very much "live and let live". In the rural areas where most of our properties are located you are free to build or not build as you see fit. If you want to camp on your land, or park an RV, have a mobile home, prefabricated home, tiny home, etc., you are free to do so. There are no HOA fees or restrictions. The climate is mild and dry, with an average minimum temperature of 30 degrees in January and an average maximum of 94 degrees in July.
There is something here for everyone. For the hunter there are big horn sheep, mule deer, javelina, mountain lion, antelope, and dove. A short drive to the east is Guadalupe Mountains National Park in northwestern Culberson County. Here you will see El Capitan, Capitan Reef, and Guadalupe Peak which is the highest point in the state at 8,749 feet. Within an easy drive is the Rio Grande River, the spectacular scenic Big Bend National Park, Carlsbad Caverns, Hueco Tanks State Historical Park (over 3,500 paintings, most are pre-Columbus.), and several other parks and points of interest.
Less than 3,500 people live in Hudspeth County's 4,572 square miles. Whether you are looking to build off grid, or buy some vacation land, or just to invest in land while prices are still so low, this is a peaceful place with gorgeous mountain views. It is a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle, and the crime and pollution, of urban life.
This is a great 40 acre property with a spectacular view, about 14 miles southwest of Van Horn. It is completely off grid, there are no utilities. The Eagle Mountains are 3 miles to the west, and other mountains within view are the Van Horn Mountains, Carrizo Mountains, Squaw Peak, and more.
The legal description of this property is Hudspeth County, Township 10, Block 67, Section 10 Sw4-Nw4. We have seen copies of deeds for properties in this section and other sections on over to Green River Road, and they have 30 foot access easements around the borders of properties and also respect any existing roads. There is a nice trail road running through the area that comes in off of Green River Road.
The Green River, an ephemeral tributary of the Rio Grande River which nowadays only holds water after heavy rain, runs through this property. Most of the property is at least 10 feet higher than the old riverbed. The Green River area is known for very good wells as you can see by googling the 2001 Evaluation Of Groundwater Recharge In Basins In Trans-Pecos Texas by Scanlon, Darling, and Mullican, and also the Texas Water Development Board's Report R356, Chapter 16, The Aquifers Of Red Light Draw, and Green River Valley, and Eagle Flat. For more information on water wells you could contact a local well driller. You might want to pursue the possibility of a water well, or you might just want to haul your water in from Van Horn.
The ground photos in the slideshow were taken on this property and on the trail road about 1 mile south. The photographer was able to drive to the property but advises that part of the trail road might wash out in a heavy rain, so you might want to take along a shovel and pick just in case. You can always rent a skid steer to more substantially improve the trail road.
As of this listing the adjacent 20 acre property is also available.
